HaLow Wi-Fi has now been tested at 9.9 miles — new Wi-Fi world record is a near 5X increase over previous best


Morse Micro returns with yet another promising HaLow demonstration.

Meanwhile, the throughput of HaLow in this new testing topped out at 2 Megabits per second at 9.9 miles — likely a best-case scenario considering how little interference there is in a rural area like Joshua Tree National Park compared to a place as densely-populated as a San Francisco beach. Watch On As noted by Morse Micro in their video, this seems to correspond to the theoretical maximum HaLow range of 15.9 kilometers — and starts making HaLow seem a lot more sensible for outdoor work including farming without needing to rely on expensive cellular data or poor cellular coverage. In urban scenarios, it's most likely an unnecessary technology due to the abundance of cell signals and existing hotspots — or at least, so prone to interference that it's only available in a much more limited form.
