it home reported on september 16 that morse micro used halow (802.11ah) technology in january this year to complete a video call across 1.8 miles (it home note: about 2.9 kilometers) in the high-interference san francisco beach area, setting a new world record for wi-fi coverage distance.

now, morse micro has broken the wi-fi world record again, this time reaching 15.9 kilometers in joshua tree national park, a 448% increase over the 2.9-kilometer record achieved in january this year.

in the previous test at san francisco beach, the wi-fi connection speed was only 11 megabits per second at a distance of 500 meters and only 1 megabit per second at 1.8 miles.

in this test, wi-fi throughput peaked at 2 mbps at a distance of 15.9 km, which may not be representative given the low interference levels in joshua tree national park.

according to the definition provided by the wi-fi alliance, wi-fi certified halow refers to certified products that use ieee 802.11ah technology. such products are designed to provide low-power, long-range wireless local area networks through the 1ghz unlicensed frequency band, thereby expanding the scope of wi-fi.

its original goal was to provide a transmission performance of 100kbps at a transmission distance of 1 km, and to provide low-power, multi-node usage scenarios. it is mainly used for data transmission between sensors, wearable devices and other devices.

halow is designed to meet the unique needs of the internet of things (iot) field and can support a variety of scenarios in industrial, agricultural, smart building and smart city environments. similar competing protocols include low-power bluetooth, zigbee, lora, sub-1ghz, thread, etc.
