AsiaRF launches Wi-Fi certified HaLow IoT gateway

AsiaRF, a wireless connectivity solutions company, has introduced the Wi-Fi certified HaLow IoT gateway, powered by Morse Micro’s MM6108 Wi-Fi HaLow SoC. The gateway supports the IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi HaLow standard and provides reliable, low-power, and long-range connectivity for IoT networks.

This will play an essential role in global IoT ecosystems, fostering long-reach, power-efficient connections for IoT devices worldwide.

HaLow, as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance IEEE 802.11ah specification, operates in the wireless spectrum below 1 GHz. This sub-GHz connectivity gives the AsiaRF IoT gateway several advantages, such as expanded range and optimised power efficiency, improving on the limitations of conventional IoT connectivity.

“We’re thrilled to be the first to offer a Wi-Fi certified HaLow IoT gateway designed for global markets,” says Paul Lai, CEO of AsiaRF. “Our gateway product will significantly improve IoT connectivity worldwide, and we’re excited to help drive this transformation with partners like Morse Micro.”

By combining the low-power, long-range benefits of Wi-Fi HaLow with the RF performance of the Morse Micro MM6108 SoC, the AsiaRF IoT gateway is seen as helping businesses and consumers to benefit from the full potential of the IoT with connectivity, power efficiency, and extended range as standard.

“Morse Micro and AsiaRF share a mutual commitment to innovation and to bringing Wi-Fi HaLow to market,” says Michael De Nil, co-founder and CEO of Morse Micro. “The new AsiaRF IoT gateway showcases the many advantages of using Morse Micro’s Wi-Fi HaLow SoC technology for IoT connectivity and we are pleased to see it come to market this year.”

AsiaRF’s IoT gateway will be available for global shipment here. For more information about the AsiaRF IoT gateway and how it will shape the future of IoT connectivity, visit AsiaRF.
