I am interested in knowing what's the bandwidth to transmission power ratio of the device. If it's low enough, it would be revolutionary for IoT devices.
You might want to look at LoRa

347 Mbit/s maximum. (But don't expect that at 9.9 miles...)
The "WiFi HaLow"name itself indicates lower power usage than traditional Wifi, largely because it uses the 900MHz band instead of the 2.4/5/6GHz bands.
Likewise, it isn't compatible with existing WiFi client devices that don't operate at those bands.
