The rapid growth of the Internet of Things is pushing wireless connectivity beyond the limits of traditional short-range networks. Z-Wave and Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR) meet these challenges with a proven, scalable platform built for reliability, efficiency, and reach. 

Operating in the sub-GHz band, Z-Wave avoids crowded 2.4 GHz interference while delivering strong penetration, consistent performance, and multi-year battery life. ZWLR extends these strengths with a purpose-built long-range architecture, enabling:

• Direct-to-gateway communication with low latency
• Communication distances exceeding one mile (line of sight)
• Support for networks of up to 4,000 devices
• Reliable coverage across large properties, multi-dwelling units, campuses, industrial sites, and agricultural environments

Together, Z-Wave and ZWLR support hybrid deployments that combine dense mesh networking with long-range connectivity, giving system designers maximum flexibility. With mandatory S2 security, backward compatibility, and a mature global ecosystem of certified devices, the Z-Wave platform delivers a dependable foundation for IoT deployments that demand both reach and resilience.
