Morse Micro Launches Global HaLowLink 2 Platform to Accelerate Long-Range IoT Networks

New updates have been reported about Morse Micro.

Morse Micro has begun global shipments of HaLowLink 2, a next-generation Wi-Fi HaLow router, access point, and range extender built around its new MM8108 chipset, marking a key commercialization milestone for the company’s long-range IoT connectivity strategy. The platform is Wi-Fi Certified and targets rapid deployment of secure, low-power, sub‑1 GHz networks across major markets including the US, Canada, Australia, the UK, Europe, and Japan, positioning Morse Micro to capture expanding demand in smart cities, industrial automation, agriculture, logistics, and large campus environments. By integrating the MM8108, HaLowLink 2 delivers extended range with up to 43 Mbps throughput, combining 256QAM modulation and a 26 dBm internal power amplifier to improve link budget and performance versus prior generations, while enabling Wi-Fi HaLow backhaul and client connectivity from a single device.

For customers and ecosystem partners, HaLowLink 2 serves as a turnkey reference and deployment platform that lowers integration friction and accelerates design-in of Morse Micro’s HaLow silicon, which is central to the company’s revenue and market adoption goals. The product can be paired to create long-distance backhaul links that extend conventional Wi-Fi coverage for non‑HaLow devices via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or USB, broadening use cases into brownfield and mixed-technology environments. Built on a Mediatek MT7621 CPU and OpenWrt 23.05, with dual Gigabit Ethernet, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 4, USB-C power/data, and global SKUs with region-specific antennas and power adapters, the platform is engineered for developers and enterprises needing industrial-grade, scalable rollouts. CEO Michael De Nil framed HaLowLink 2 as a bridge between the simplicity of mainstream Wi-Fi and the coverage traditionally associated with proprietary LPWAN technologies, underscoring Morse Micro’s ambition to make Wi-Fi HaLow a de facto standard for long-range IoT. Commercial availability via Mouser at a US$129 price point signals a shift from primarily silicon and reference designs to an increasingly complete solutions portfolio, with potential to accelerate unit volumes, ecosystem development, and recurring design wins across IoT 2.0 deployments.
