Wi-Fi Goes Long Range on New WiLo Approach

Wi-Fi Goes Long Range on New WiLo Approach

The new technique could underpin agricultural sensor networks and smart cities. Researchers have developed a hybrid technology that would combine Wi-Fi with the Long Range (LoRa) networking protocol, yielding a new long-distance wireless concept called WiLo. The research team has designed their proposed WiLo tech to be used on existing Wi-Fi and LoRa hardware.
