A recent video demonstration from Morse Micro proves that the HaLow Wi-Fi standard, also known as IEEE 802.11ah, can maintain connections up to 3 kilometers, or just under two miles. Operating on the 900 MHz spectrum and utilizing low power, HaLow is engineered to support smart buildings, IoT devices, wearables, and critical infrastructure.
