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.

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.
