From Lab to Field: A Deployable 2-Mile Wireless Video System
Field-validated long-range video connectivity at CES 2026
Why CES 2026 Matters
As wireless connectivity expands beyond homes and cities, the industry faces a new challenge: delivering reliable video across large, power-constrained, and remote environments.
At CES 2026, ShowMo is highlighting a shift from lab-based demonstrations to field-validated systems designed for real deployment constraints—where distance, power availability, and operational cost fundamentally shape what is possible.
What We’re Showing
ShowMo, in collaboration with Morse Micro, has validated a 2-mile (3.2 km) wireless video link using Wi-Fi HaLow (IEEE 802.11ah).
This work goes beyond simulation and indoor testing, focusing instead on outdoor, field-based validation under real deployment conditions.
Key characteristics of the validation include:
- Distance: 2 miles (3.2 km), line-of-sight
- Technology: Sub-GHz Wi-Fi HaLow (900 MHz band, U.S.)
- Environment: Outdoor, real-world field conditions
- Payload: Continuous video transmission
- Approach: System-level validation beyond silicon-only testing
The emphasis is not on peak specifications, but on what can be deployed reliably outside controlled lab environments.
Why Long-Range Video Is Different
Unlike sensor connectivity, video places continuous and system-level demands on long-range wireless links.
These demands include sustained bandwidth, sensitivity to latency and packet loss, and power efficiency suitable for solar-powered operation. As a result:
- Traditional Wi-Fi offers bandwidth, but not distance
- Cellular offers distance, but often fails on cost, power, or rural reliability
- Low-power IoT radios offer range, but not video capability
Wi-Fi HaLow occupies a unique middle ground, combining sub-GHz propagation with IP-based networking, making long-range video practical at mile-scale distances.
Designed for Real Deployment Scenarios
The system architecture demonstrated at CES 2026 targets environments where traditional connectivity options break down, including:
- Farms and ranches
- Remote infrastructure and facilities
- Large properties requiring perimeter or asset monitoring
- Sites relying on a single internet backhaul (e.g., satellite or fixed wireless)
These scenarios represent real-world environments where distance, power constraints, and operating cost fundamentally limit conventional approaches.
From Validation to Deployment
The CES 2026 demonstration reflects a broader industry transition: moving from proof-of-concept connectivity to deployable long-range video systems.
Rather than focusing on isolated components or theoretical performance, the work emphasizes system integration—including RF design, power management, antenna configuration, and real-world operating conditions.
