At CES 2024, Morse Micro, in collaboration with its partners, will demonstrate Wi-Fi HaLow technology breakthroughs spanning multiple IoT applications, enabling the future of smart home, industrial and building automation. Demo highlights include the following customer products and technologies:

  • 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.

While conventional Wi-Fi is the most ubiquitous wireless communications protocol in use today, the rapid growth of the IoT has forced a rethinking of Wi-Fi, revealing technological gaps in range and power efficiency and what role Wi-Fi should play in an all-encompassing connected world. Morse Micro's industry-leading Wi-Fi HaLow portfolio solves these challenges for Wi-Fi connectivity in IoT applications. The company's comprehensive Wi-Fi HaLow portfolio includes the industry's smallest, fastest and lowest power IEEE 802.11ah compliant SoCs and modules. These Wi-Fi HaLow devices provide 10x the range, 100x the coverage area and 1000x the volume of traditional Wi-Fi solutions.

The extended range, power efficiency, scalability and versatility of Wi-Fi HaLow technology enable Morse Micro to address a wide range of markets and applications:

  • Smart home – security cameras, home automation, garage doors, smart locks and more
  • Infrastructure – network extension (aka virtual wire), mesh APs, backhaul, rural networks and more
  • Industrial – industrial automation, warehouse, transport, logistics and more
  • Enterprise – building access, building management systems, enterprise security cameras, sensors and more
  • Smart cities – smart meters, public access, information kiosks and more.
