In this episode of Product of the Week, Robin looks at the Morse Micro HaLowLink 1, a Wi-Fi gateway that uses Halo to deliver long-range wireless links for IoT devices. You get stable links across distances up to 1 kilometre. You also get traditional Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and OpenWRT support. The HaLowLink 1 gives you fast setup and strong performance for cameras, sensors, and controllers that do not need gigabit speeds.

Robin breaks down the MediaTek driven hardware, the link range, and the paired Halo mode that replaces Ethernet with a secure wireless bridge. You also see why Halo works well in factories, farms, nature reserves, and remote monitoring setups.
