BROWSING: Wi-Fi HaLow

The Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), handling Wi-Fi industry cooperation and initiatives, has said Wi-Fi HaLow is ready to rock in “commercial IoT deployments across a range of sectors”. As such, it has issued a new white paper with a bunch of likely deployment scenarios...

Australia-based semiconductor company Morse Micro, developing Wi-Fi HaLow for low-power mid-range IoT solutions, has issued a flurry of announcements at CES in Las Vegas this week (January 9-12), including international certification for a new Quectel-made IoT module, a partnership with Australian Wi-Fi specialist Zetifi to...

Wi-Fi 7 might be stealing the spotlight, but that's certainly not the only thing unfolding in wireless With the certification of the Wi-Fi 7 just around the corner, the wireless industry is abuzz with excitement around what the new standard will enable. However, Wi-Fi 7’s...

Australia-based semiconductor company Morse Micro, developing Wi-Fi HaLow for low-power mid-range IoT solutions, has struck a deal with IoT module maker Quectel Wireless Solutions to bring commercial Wi-Fi HaLow products to market. Quectel will integrate Morse Micro’s 802.11ah Wi-Fi HaLow technology into a new...

Australia-based semiconductor company Morse Micro, developing Wi-Fi HaLow for low-power mid-range IoT solutions, has quickly followed a AUS$140 million ($94m) Series B round in September with a further AUS$30 million ($20m) in Series B funding. The new funds, presented as a “top-up from major...

Australia-based semiconductor company Morse Micro, developing Wi-Fi HaLow for low-power mid-range IoT solutions, has raised $140 million in Series B funding. The round was led by Japan-based chip services company MegaChips, with participation also from existing investors, including Blackbird Ventures, Main Sequence Ventures, Clean...

Operating in the sub-1 GHz band, Wi-Fi HaLow sports long range and low power connectivity, and can provide reliable connectivity in challenging environments The Wi-Fi Alliance recently announced the arrival of Wi-Fi Certified HaLow, designed for the certification of products incorporating IEEE 802.11ah technology, expanding...

Semiconductor company Morse Micro, developing Wi-Fi HaLow for low-power mid-range IoT connectivity, has confirmed its various chipsets, modules, and reference designs have been certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance as part of its new Wi-Fi HaLow accreditation scheme. Its new Wi-Fi HaLow reference design is...

Semiconductor company Morse Micro, developing Wi-Fi HaLow for low-power mid-range IoT connectivity, has released system-on-chip (SoC) and module samples to select developers. The target is to raise interest in Wi-Fi HaLow among the IoT developer community to “enable new IoT use cases”. The samples...

Australia-based semiconductor company Morse Micro, developing Wi-Fi HaLow  for low-power mid-range IoT solutions, has raised $13 million in new funding. The latest Series A funding round takes its total to $30 million, and will go on expanding its product and technology development teams at...

In truth, Wi-Fi HaLow is not new. The solution, geared towards low-power mid-range IoT solutions, was announced back in 2016. But there is gathering momentum around it, with chips and devices in the latter stages of development and a queue of customers apparently lined...

Wi-Fi is a decades-old technology, but it remains as relevant as ever because it continues to evolve in ways that benefit vendors, service providers and their customers. The Wi-Fi Alliance’s 2015 annual report is a convenient opportunity to look back and forward at some of the...

Wi-Fi standards are focusing not only on faster and more efficient Wi-Fi (although that continues to be part of the standard’s evolution), but in expanding Wi-Fi’s use in different spectra and for specific use cases. Wi-Fi standards originate with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics...

The Wi-Fi Alliance is breaking new ground with the launch of what it terms a low power Wi-Fi solution called Wi-Fi HaLow. The Alliance says the solution will utilize spectrum frequencies below 900 MHz to enable low power connectivity, which it said will nearly...
