Morse Micro has once again set a new Wi-Fi distance world record, this time achieving an astounding 15.9 kilometers (9.9 miles) of Wi-Fi coverage in a recent test at Joshua Tree National Park. This milestone, accomplished using HaLow (802.11ah) technology, surpasses their previous record of 2.9 kilometers set in January this year by 448%.
HaLow operates in the sub-1 GHz unlicensed frequency band, designed to provide low-power, long-range wireless connectivity. In this latest test, the Wi-Fi throughput reached a peak of 2 Mbps over the record-breaking distance. While the interference-free environment of Joshua Tree National Park played a role, this achievement demonstrates HaLow’s potential for long-distance, low-power applications.
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED HaLow, part of the IEEE 802.11ah standard, is targeted at expanding Wi-Fi use cases, especially for the Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as smart cities, agriculture, and industrial environments. Initially designed for 100 Kbps performance at a 1 km range, HaLow's long-range capabilities far exceed expectations, setting it apart from competing technologies like LoRa, ZigBee, and Bluetooth Low Energy.
Morse Micro continues to push the boundaries of wireless communication, offering transformative possibilities for IoT and other wireless network applications.
