Dependable IoT connectivity providers in 2024 will strive to connect much-needed products with a ton of services that make folks’ lives and environments – at home, on the job site, you name it – as reliably efficient as they are comfortable and secure.
Today, this involves new Wi-Fi HaLow innovations, courtesy of Morse Micro, a provider focused on ultra-long range, ultra-low power interoperability solutions for Internet of Things applications.
(A quick note: The first time I penned a piece about Wi-Fi HaLow capabilities was March of 2023; the story concerned a global IoT solutions company called Quectel. What’s even more notable is that a month later, Quectel and Morse Micro actually announced their strategic partnership to deliver additional Wi-Fi HaLow solutions to market.)
In that vein, we have today’s coverage:
Ahead of this year’s International CES in Las Vegas, Morse Mirco announced that it will be unveiling a whole host of new customer ecosystem innovations. These demonstrations will reportedly showcase, quote, “additional groundbreaking capabilities” of Wi-Fi HaLow tech that will support unique requirements that continue to fill growing IoT markets.
According to Michael De Nil, Morse Micro’s co-founder and CEO:
“Wi-Fi HaLow technology extends beyond the limited reach of legacy Wi-Fi, while providing throughputs no other long-range wireless technology can match. Momentum is building for Wi-Fi HaLow, with the Wi-Fi Alliance taking major steps to promote the protocol's benefits for the IoT. Our partners have incorporated our complete Wi-Fi HaLow connectivity solution to develop IoT products for a host of consumer and enterprise applications that are driving the mass market adoption of Wi-Fi HaLow technology.”
Morse Micro is set to demonstrate its Wi-Fi HaLow tech that spans plenty of IoT applications, from smart home to automation and industrial and beyond.
Highlights of what Morse Micro has been working on include the following:
- Dual-mode Wi-Fi 6 + Wi-Fi HaLow access points (APs)
- IoT gateways supporting Wi-Fi HaLow
- Edge AI-powered security cameras linked with Wi-Fi HaLow
- Indoor and outdoor IP cameras featuring long-range Wi-Fi HaLow connectivity
- Smart doorbell camera with Wi-Fi HaLow
- Highly portable mobile devices with Wi-Fi HaLow-enabled cameras or sensors
- Matter protocol running over Wi-Fi HaLow for smart home networks
- Wi-Fi HaLow support for multiple stations (STAs)
- Ultra-small W-Fi HaLow modules integrating Morse Micro wireless SoCs
