HaLow is a niche Wi-Fi standard that focuses on long range and low power consumption instead of bandwdith. Other than that it share the same characteristics of Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi Halow is ideal for IoT devices and the alternative to other low-power wireless standard, such as Thread, Z-Wave, or Zigbee.
Morse Micro, an Australian company with a strong push to make Wi-Fi Halow a reality, today announces its latest hardware supporting the wireless standard with an ultra-long range: the MM8108-M20. This chip is designed specifically to help hardware vendors in the US and Canada bring Wi-Fi HaLow devices to market …
After the first attempt a year ago, Morse Micro made Wi-Fi Halow a reality at CES 2026 by unveiling the HaLowLink 2, the first router of the long-range standard to be available worldwide. Now, it’s only a question of when we can find Wi-Fi Halow devices to take advantage of …
A couple of years ago, I enthusiastically published an explainer post on Wi-Fi Halow. (Make sure you have read that post before continuing!) Since then, I’ve been looking for hardware to gain real-world experience with the standard. Many of you have also sent me questions about when you can use …
This post will briefly explain Wi-Fi HaLow, a new standard that extends the use of Wi-Fi to low-bandwidth devices. Since its beginning, Wi-Fi has evolved to be “faster” by increasing the frequencies and bandwidth. That approach comes at the expense of high hardware costs, shorter ranges, and more energy consumption. …
