1PW Posted January 31 ID:1615015 Share Posted January 31 Quote Wireless tech company Morse Micro has achieved a new Wi-Fi distance record of 1.8 miles (three kilometers) using the HaLow (802.11ah) standard. While HaLow was originally announced in 2016, its proper implementation is only just starting to pick up steam— and now, Morse Micro is pulling it off in a big way.

David H. Lipman Posted January 31 ID:1615021 Share Posted January 31 Thanks @1PW That's interesting. But I wonder how congestion and saturation will play along with EMI/RFI emissions. As well as Line of Sight (LOS) vs obstructions and atmospherics. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1PW Posted January 31 Author ID:1615144 Share Posted January 31 Yes. We will have to see what develops. This type of Wi-Fi uses the IEEE 802.11ah standard in the 900 MHz-33 centimeter RF band. Some GSM cellphones might still use this band. Users may be able to enjoy higher quality connections with devices situated at further distances heretofore unachievable.

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted February 1 Root Admin ID:1615208 Share Posted February 1 I'm okay keeping my Wi-Fi within a few hundred feet of my router. Having it broadcast for almost 2 miles would potentially put it within range of thousands of people that might want to try and break into it that would otherwise not even see it. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardbird Posted February 1 ID:1615244 Share Posted February 1 Me also Advanced Setup, as a Ham operator, I sometimes use 900Mhz. for ham use. This is going to be interesting 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1PW Posted February 1 Author ID:1615249 Share Posted February 1 Hello @yardbird: Although nearly 100% of 802.11ah router users would be oblivious to the fact, they share the 902 - 928 MHz band. But you, as a responsible Ham operator, would listen before you pressed the transmit button... FWIW 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardbird Posted February 1 ID:1615308 Share Posted February 1 @1PW very true !! Here's a short note I found. I seldom work above 33cm. The higher you go the more radation you get.

digmorcrusher Posted February 1 ID:1615328 Share Posted February 1 Not sure why the average Joe would need such a long wi-fi range. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted February 1 ID:1615374 Share Posted February 1 (edited) No. But imagine a sprawling business compound, campground, campus or other sprawled out enclave. Very niche.

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted February 1 Root Admin ID:1615381 Share Posted February 1 I do imagine that and it opens ALL of those businesses up to potential attack. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+attack+wi-fi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
