Hi everyone,
we got a chance to take the Wi‑Fi HaLow eval kits outside and do a quick real-world test. Since we’re based in Europe, the radio was explicitly set to ETSI (EU compliance) — so these numbers are meant to reflect what you can realistically expect under EU limits - in contrast to the typically promoted FCC/US conditions.
The test setup was kept simple: one unit stayed put on a wooden structure, and the other one was carried away along a path in a local park. There were some trees and partial obstruction most of the time, so no perfect line of sight.
Setup (Morse Micro OpenWrt integrated rangetest)
-
Regulatory setting: ETSI (EU)
-
Stationary unit: MM8108‑EKH‑01, ~2 m above ground
-
Mobile/handheld unit: MM8108‑EKH‑19, ~1 m above ground
-
Location: local park, trees/partial obstruction (no clear LOS)
-
Date: 2025‑11‑10
The plot includes UDP and TCP throughput in both directions.
Conclusion (ETSI / real‑world park)
-
Up to ~100 m: mostly 4–6 Mbit/s, very stable
-
Around ~200 m: throughput drops to about 2–4 Mbit/s, still very reliable
-
Around ~300 m: we hit the limit — some transfers still worked at roughly ~1 Mbit/s, while others failed
Feedback and comparisons from others are very welcome—especially if you’ve run similar outdoor tests under ETSI conditions.
Cheers,
Simon
