It does exist, its called 801.11ah or wifi HaLow

That standard is mainly designed for things like IOT and wireless security cameras, but nothing stops you from getting an HaLow access point and network adapter.

But it can't be very useful if my smartphone doesn't support it. I think it was designed for a different kind of use.

If you're already on a smart phone it has technology to do that. It's called a cellular connection. LTE and 5G are incredible for taking a tiny slab with you miles away from your home.
