Australian start-up Morse Micro has developed low-power Wi-Fi technology using the Wi-Fi HaLow protocol, which extends signals up to 3 kilometers. This technology allows for longer ranges, lower power consumption, and connectivity for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The HaLow protocol operates at a lower frequency and narrower channel widths, making it suitable for IoT devices. However, the technology has low adoption and faces competition from other IoT connectivity options.
