The technology is expected to replace short-range mobile waves, after test results surpassed the previous record also conducted by the same company.

In January of this year, Morse Micro tested at San Francisco Beach, showing connection speeds ranging from 11 Mbps at a distance of 500 meters, to 1 Mbps at a maximum distance of 2.9 kilometers.

Meanwhile, in the latest test at Joshua Tree National Park, California (USA), Morse Micro achieved an average speed of 2 Mbps at a distance of 15.9 km.

According to Morse Micro representative, with a distance of 15.9 km, HaLow is capable of transmitting data the farthest among current Wifi standards. With this ability, the technology can be applied in the agricultural sector, short-distance communication, without having to rely on expensive mobile data and depending on the strength of mobile signals in each area. In urban areas, this technology may not be necessary because there is already a dense Wifi network and mobile signal towers.

Experts say HaLow technology is “hard to beat in the near future” and will likely not stop at a distance of 15.9 km.

Morse Micro is a Sydney (Australia)-based mobile technology company, founded in 2016, specializing in developing chips and Wifi solutions. Although not the only name in the industry, the company's microprocessors are highly appreciated for their compact size, high data transmission speed, long range and low power consumption.
