Quectel Integrates the Industry�s Smallest, Fastest and Lowest Power IEEE 802.11ah Compliant SoCs from Morse Micro into New Module

SYDNEY & IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#80211ah--Morse Micro, a fast-growing fabless semiconductor company focused on Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, and Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, have today announced a strategic partnership to deliver Wi-Fi HaLow solutions to market. Through the partnership, Quectel will integrate Morse Micro�s 802.11ah Wi-Fi HaLow technology into a new module, designed for consumer, industrial, agricultural and other use cases.

Anchored by Morse Micro�s MM6108 microchip, and leveraging FCC-certified reference designs, Quectel�s module will accelerate the adoption of Wi-Fi HaLow across the globe, supporting the development of long-range IoT solutions for all.

The FGH100M is Quectels new long range, low-power Wi-Fi HaLow module compliant with the IEEE 802.11ah standard. It operates in 850�950 MHz bands with 1/2/4/8 MHz channel width and features 21 dBm maximum output power and 32.5 Mbps maximum theoretical transmission rate . With its ultra-compact size of 13.0 mm � 13.0 mm � 2.2 mm, FGH100M optimizes and effectively reduces end-product size and design cost, and fully meets the demands of size-sensitive applications.

�This announcement demonstrates the growth and momentum of Wi-Fi HaLow and our focus on the adoption and commercialization of this technology in key industries. Quectel�s comprehensive portfolio of IoT modules provides a strategic footprint to integrate our Wi-Fi HaLow technology that delivers low power and ten times the range of traditional Wi-Fi,� said Michael De Nil, co-founder and chief executive officer at Morse Micro. �We look forward to collaborating with Quectel to develop new Wi-Fi HaLow solutions that are poised to be game changers for consumers and enterprises, from smart home to smart city and everything in between.�

�Our partnership with Morse Micro demonstrates our continued focus to provide our customers with leading-edge IoT solutions that are deployed across the globe into multiple IoT applications,� said Norbert Muhrer, President and CSO, Quectel Wireless Solutions. �Morse Micro�s industry-leading Wi-Fi HaLow technology is well-suited for IoT modules designed to meet growing demands for long-range connectivity and low power requirements for many IoT and machine-to-machine applications.�

Morse Micro�s comprehensive Wi-Fi HaLow portfolio includes the industry�s smallest, fastest and lowest power IEEE 802.11ah compliant SoCs. The MM6108 SoC supports 1, 2, 4 and 8 MHz bandwidths and is capable of delivering tens of Mbps throughput to support streaming HD video. These Wi-Fi HaLow SoCs provide 10x the range, 100x the area and 1000x the volume of traditional Wi-Fi solutions.
