The IEEE technology technical standards body has introduced WiFi 802.11ah (HaLow) connectivity in 2016 which demonstrates the ability to connect to WiFi networks at high speeds over long distances.
At the beginning of this year, a HaLow WiFi network chip manufacturer called Morse Micro from Australia tested the internet network in the densely populated city of San Francisco showing a data transmission radius of 2.8km with a data transmission rate as high as 11Mbps at a distance of 500 meters. and drops up to 1.0Mbps at a distance of 2.8KM.
Recently, the company has also conducted a new test using the same WiFi HaLow connection in Joshua Tree National Park which is also located in California. This new location reveals a larger open area, and with this also, records a new connection distance of 9.9 miles or 15.9KM.
Morse Micro says that the internet connection that can be found at that distance is as high as 2.0Mbps and can be seen as a breakthrough for the technology, although it is not hindered by not only tall buildings, but also people and other electronic devices in areas like San Francisco.
This technology may be used in remote areas such as rural areas or rural villages where it is difficult to develop telecommunication towers.
