Wi-Fi HaLow Portfolio Empowers Efficient IoT Connectivity

Addressing the challenges of long-range, low-power connectivity in IoT applications, Morse Micro’s Wi-Fi HaLow portfolio helps overcome the fundamental weaknesses of legacy Wi-Fi solutions. The company helped pioneer the 802.11ah Wi-Fi HaLow standard to meet the demanding requirements of low-power IoT devices, which offers long-range connectivity while operating in the sub-GHz band to penetrate walls and other obstacles more easily than systems operating at 2.4 and 5 GHz. 
Morse Micro’s low-power IC design enables extended sleep times and lower power consumption for battery-operated client devices, while eliminating the need for proprietary hubs or gateways, with a single access point supporting up to 8,191 IoT devices. The company’s portfolio includes the industry’s smallest, fastest and lowest power Wi-Fi HaLow SoCs and modules, addressing use cases across the IoT ecosystem, from consumer to commercial, and industrial to agricultural use.
Offering complete Wi-Fi HaLow connectivity compliant to the IEEE 802.11ah standard, the company’s MM6108 SoC integrates Radio, PHY, and MAC components and provides data rates up to 43.3Mbps, operating in sub-1 GHz license-exempt RF bands. Its flexible RF interface enables a choice between on-chip amplification for cost-effective solutions or external power amplifiers and Front-End Modules for Ultra-Long-Reach applications. Its excellent  linearity reduces the need for external filters, and its low-power 32-bit RISC-V core-based independent Host Applications Processor (in select SKUs) facilitates code migration for Wi-Fi HaLow applications.
