The room next to where you installed it at home will still have problems getting more than 2 lines of WiFi.
- Just tear down this wall
- Not a bad thing honestly, whats nice about high frequencies is lower penetration. More access points, lower power, overall better signal and less interference. Line-of-sight microwave for covering distance.
  
  Fun stuff
I am interested in knowing what's the bandwidth to transmission power ratio of the device. If it's low enough, it would be revolutionary for IoT devices.
- Permanently Deleted
- You might want to look at LoRa
Having this on a Wyze cam would be really interesting. 4mbps would be enough for 720p video…and at almost 10 miles??
But at what speed?
- Read the fucking article ya lazy cunt
  
  2 Megabits per second at 9.9 miles
  
  That's pretty good given (as far as I know) the main use case for HaLow is for low bandwidth, very low power use cases, like for IoT devices and other things you'd use Zigbee or Z-wave for today, including devices that run for years off a single button cell battery
- Looks like around 4Mbps link speed, so great for sensors and remote monitoring/controls and that kind of thing.
  
  Sort of in between LoRa and normal Wifi.
