"Australian startup Morse Micro, a leading provider of Wi-Fi HaLow silicon services, has announced the successful close of a Series C funding round and entered into mass production of Wi-Fi HaLow technology including system on a chip (SoC), modules and evaluation kits. The designation for certified products incorporating IEEE 802.11ah technology, Wi-Fi Certified HaLow is intended to augment Wi-Fi by operating in spectrum below 1 gigahertz (GHz)."
"Intended to enable the low-power connectivity necessary for applications including sensor networks and wearables, its range is longer than many other internet of things (IoT) technology options, and its proponents believe it will provide a more robust connection in challenging environments where the ability to penetrate walls or other barriers is an important consideration. Wi-Fi HaLow is also built to deliver extended battery life, enhanced device density, minimised end-to-end delay, a higher level of security, ease of installation and management, and elevated data throughput in IoT scenarios."
"The funding round was led by MegaChips with participation from the Australian government-established National Reconstruction Fund Corporation (NRFC), Blackbird, Main Sequence, Uniseed, Ray Stata, Malcolm and Lucy Turnbull, Startmate, and a number of institutional investors including Hostplus, NGS and UniSuper. This brings the company's total funding to date to over $193m."
Morse Micro closed a Series C funding round and entered mass production of Wi‑Fi HaLow system-on-chip products, modules and evaluation kits. Wi‑Fi Certified HaLow operates in sub‑1GHz spectrum to augment Wi‑Fi with longer range and improved penetration for sensor networks, wearables and other IoT applications. The technology targets low‑power connectivity, extended battery life, higher device density, reduced latency, stronger security, easier installation and increased throughput using narrow channel bandwidths and new operating modes for battery‑operated devices. The funding, led by MegaChips and including the NRFC and institutional investors, brings total funding to over $193 million and will support international expansion and IoT 2.0 ecosystem growth.
