Researchers have developed a hybrid wireless communication technology called WiLo, which combines the benefits of Wi-Fi and LoRa. WiLo enables standard Wi-Fi devices to communicate over long distances using LoRa without requiring additional hardware. The technology has potential applications in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, such as networks of long-range sensors used in agriculture or smart cities. By manipulating Wi-Fi signals to match LoRa signals, WiLo achieves long-range communication while maintaining compatibility with existing Wi-Fi infrastructure. The researchers have successfully tested WiLo in both indoor and outdoor environments, achieving a high success rate. However, the technology faces challenges in terms of power consumption and interference, which the researchers are currently addressing to pave the way for commercialization.
