High-speed Wi-Fi 'covering the whole district' has become a reality

at the CES 2025 technology exhibition held in the US recently, Morse Micro, a pioneer in the field of HaLow Wi-Fi, demonstrated its latest router prototype with an incredible coverage range of up to 16 km. This means that a home Wi-Fi network can cover a large area, eliminating the limit on connection distance.

Wi-Fi HaLow promises to revolutionize wireless connectivity

Unlike traditional Wi-Fi that uses the 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz bands that are easily obstructed by walls and obstacles, HaLow technology operates on the sub-GHz band (900 MHz), allowing Wi-Fi waves to penetrate all obstacles easily.

In 2016, HaLow’s speed was only 18 Mbps, leaving many skeptical about the technology’s potential. However, just nine years later, Morse Micro has improved the speed to 9 Mbps, enough to meet the needs of everyday use such as surfing the web, sending emails, and connecting IoT devices.

To demonstrate HaLow's capabilities, Morse Micro successfully made a call video at a distance of 3 km by 2024. The company even achieved a coverage range of 16 km in a test at Joshua Tree National Park (California, USA).

Morse Micro believes that HaLow will coexist with existing Wi-Fi bands, creating a multi-band system (2,4 GHz, 5 GHz and sub-GHz) and providing the most optimal connectivity.

Currently, popular devices such as smartphones and laptops do not support HaLow. However, Morse Micro is working to integrate HaLow chipsets into future devices.

With its outstanding advantages, HaLow is expected to open a new era for wireless connectivity, widely applied in life and production, especially in large industrial environments.
