Silex Technology America, Inc., in collaboration with Morse Micro, introduced a new industrial-grade Wi-Fi HaLow module targeting IoT applications. Silex’s wireless modules bring their small form factor, wide temperature range and product longevity to the table, while Morse Micro’s MM6108 Wi-Fi HaLow SoC maximizes wireless range, coverage and power efficiency.

The SX-SDMAH wireless module delivers high connectivity performance, a range of more than 3 kilometers and ultra-low-power consumption. Applications range from smart homes to industrial automation, and include Wi-Fi HaLow access points, gateways, Ethernet wireless bridges, Wi-Fi extenders, IP cameras, 3D scanners, GNSS receiver, vehicle telemetry devices and high-end sensors.
The SX-SDMAH module (U.S. version) includes a sub-GHz 802.11ah Wi-Fi HaLow radio module operating in the 902-928 MHz bands for the U.S. and Canada, with high penetration of physical barriers; long-distance wireless connectivity and large network capacity; 1/2/4/8-MHz–channel bandwidth support and up to 32.5-Mbits/s PHY bit rate. Other features include a transmission power of +24 dBm, an SDIO/SPI interface for Linux OS, an SPI for FreeRTOS as well as access point and station mode. Advanced security features includeWPA3 and Wi-Fi Enhanced Open. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C.
Designed specifically for IoT, the Wi-Fi HaLow IEEE 802.11ah standard offers a combination of extended range, power efficiency, long battery life for wireless devices, high penetration of barriers, large network capacity, advanced security and Wi-Fi compatibility. Morse Micro’s Wi-Fi HaLow SoCs provide 10× the range, 100× the coverage area and 1,000× the volume of traditional Wi-Fi solutions, according to the company.
The SX-SDMAH module and evaluation kit are currently available in the U.S. and Canada. The surface-mount, small-form-factor module measures 17 × 18 × 2.65 mm with an integrated MHF-1 antenna connector.
