TeeHee HaLow

Go Further Than Far

Industry-Leading Range

TeeHee HaLow offers the furthest range when tested against other 900MHz bridges made for camera control. And for those who need to go even further than point-to-point HaLow connections, you can easily mesh your HaLow network and go as far as you’d like. Since every setting is available out-of-the-box, you can enable features like mesh only when they’re appropriate for your needs.

Wireless Freedom

TeeHee HaLow does not require you to purchase multiple units to use in tandem; you can interface with, connect to and integrate TeeHee HaLow alongside other HaLow devices that support a standard AP/client relationship, just like traditional WiFi frequencies. TeeHee HaLow encourages you to start using HaLow frequencies, and of course supports connections to additional TeeHee HaLow units—but it does not lock you into a hardware ecosystem, now or in the future.

Power Users Welcome

For those who want a simple bridge, TeeHee HaLow ships ready-to-use. For those who want more precise control, you’ve got an entire platform-agnostic web GUI at your fingertips. You can dig into the entire feature set of the OpenWrt-based OS to dictate encryption type, exact frequency, DFS, channel width and interface bridging. You can even do it from your mobile browser. Don’t let software installation or command line interfaces slow you down when you need to quickly change a setting.

Passport Exempt

International production credits for the original TeeHee include My Spy: The Eternal City in Italy and Alien: Earth in Thailand. With a version of TeeHee HaLow made specifically for European frequencies, it’s ready to earn new movie and TV show credits across even more countries. And for locales or environments that stipulate exact frequency allocation, TeeHee HaLow can be easily set to conform via the web GUI.

Play It By Gear

When you get that call for a Red DSMC2 job, TeeHee HaLow has your back with Gigabit support. If you’re a DIT and have a loader on the camera truck near set, hand them TeeHee HaLow and easily transfer small files like CDL’s to them rather than doing a physical handoff. TeeHee HaLow was designed to make “novel” situations frictionless.

Zero Downtime

With an optional internal UPS, TeeHee HaLow keeps your network connections stable, even when your power source is not. When external power cuts out—during a battery swap, for example—TeeHee HaLow will remain powered on for several minutes while retaining active network connections in the interim.

Think (and Work) Outside The Box

HaLow frequencies may still be exotic, but that doesn’t mean deployment needs to be limited. With thoughtful accessories like the TeeHee MagSafe Adapter, bringing TeeHee HaLow along to the party becomes second-nature. Have an iPad or other interface device besides an iPhone that needs HaLow access? Simply adhere a MagSafe ring to your device of choice and you’ve got the perfect match.

Upgrades Welcomed

To express my gratitude to existing customers, all original TeeHee units are eligible to be upgraded to TeeHee HaLow. Please visit the TeeHee Upgrade Program page for details.

Nothing Proprietary Here

Just like all current product offerings on makeyourown.lol, TeeHee HaLow is based around an open-source design with a fully transparent Bill of Materials (BOM) listed on its product purchase page. It also runs an OpenWrt-based OS which offers native GUI access to every hardware feature. You can configure it exactly as you’d like, without limitations—and easily change settings based on the needs of your current job. You can even connect it to other HaLow hardware if the third-party OEM allows it.

900MHz for All

TeeHee HaLow makes even your budget go further: Since TeeHee first launched in early 2023, procurement has been scaled to decrease assembly overhead and reduce the per-unit cost. With the same iconic aluminum enclosure, TeeHee continues to offer robust mounting points and genuine Lemo power input at a price point that makes sub-1GHz hardware practical, even if you want to acquire multiple units.
