> With the Wi-Fi HaLow’s 9.9 mile range, you could connect to your home Wi-Fi at work, at the grocery store, and even inside your car throughout your ride.<p>If your house is far enough up the side of a mountain to provide a LOS path to all those places then yeah, sure.
If it has any initial success the tragedy of the commons will make it unusable unless you live on a farm. Up to 10 miles range from an omnidirectional antenna is only a feature until you realise home many people and their devices are within that range fighting it out for an average consumer. <i>sigh</i>
That's 32.5 megabits/sec, not MB/s. It uses the 802.11ah standard.<p><a href="https://www.morsemicro.com/products/" rel="nofollow">https://www.morsemicro.com/products/</a><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11ah" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11ah</a>
I've already been using HaLow for years to link my in-laws house to our holiday cottage. I get ~14Mbps which is enough for my wife and I to work remotely for a few days.<p>I purchased a cheap "CCTV wireless bridge" from AliExpress and it works fine. Sure, I could be paranoid about the security, but honestly these devices are dumb and the goats in that village aren't astute at hacking obscure wireless signals.<p>I'm using it at less than 1km, but that's because we're on a mountain and there's lots of trees that I have to cut through. I've previously tried 5GHz Ubiquiti gear but there's a particularly big tree I can't get through. I swapped out the omni-antenna for some UHF directional antennas to make it more selective.<p>Looks like this product is just a reference design for their silicon, I can't see anywhere you can actually buy it.
Its dissapointing there isnt any price information or similar.<p>I can see this being a huge benefit for the poorest and also quite helpful to bring pressure into mobile plans as they and ISPs compete directly with one another.
