Morse Micro announced a partnership with Heltec Automation to accelerate the delivery of Wi-Fi HaLow enabled devices and revolutionise IoT connectivity. As part of this partnership, Heltec Automation has integrated Morse Micro’s MM6108 Wi‑Fi HaLow SoC into a suite of five breakthrough products designed to deliver unprecedented long-range connectivity, high data speeds, and energy-efficient performance.
“This partnership marks a step in advancing IoT connectivity,” said Michael De Nil, Co-Founder and CEO of Morse Micro. “By embedding our Wi‑Fi HaLow technology into Heltec Automation’s innovative products, we’re enabling developers and end-users to harness robust, secure, and scalable wireless communications for a wide range of applications such as smart grid, industrial automation and smart cities.”
This partnership combines Morse Micro’s wireless technology with Heltec Automation’s experience in hardware innovation to drive a new era of connectivity solutions. By setting new standards in transmission range, data speed, and power efficiency, Heltec’s new Wi-Fi HaLow designs will impact impact sectors ranging from smart cities and industrial automation to remote surveillance and intelligent manufacturing.
Specifically, Heltec Automation has launched a new product line showcasing the versatility and power of Wi‑Fi HaLow technology. It includes the following five products:
- Wi‑Fi HaLow Module (HT‑HC01): a compact Wi-Fi HaLow module optimised for easy integration into a variety of PCBs, delivering excellent RF performance in the 902–928MHz band. With long‑range transmission, multiple channel bandwidth options, and low power consumption, the HT‑HC01 module is well suited for battery‑operated devices that require extended sleep modes without sacrificing connectivity
- ESP32 Wi‑Fi HaLow Camera (HT‑HC32): built on the ESP32‑S3 MCU with the HT‑HC01 module, this development board offers high‑speed (up to 32Mbps) and long‑range (over 1km) wireless communication. It features a 200‑pixel wide‑angle camera with advanced image processing capabilities—including auto exposure and gain control—alongside support for Arduino development, integrated SD card storage, and comprehensive connectivity options
- HT‑H7608 Wi‑Fi HaLow Router/Gateway: designed for intelligent manufacturing, smart cities, and more, this dual‑band gateway supports both Wi‑Fi HaLow and 2.4GHz networks. Its flexible networking methods (AP, STA, Mesh) and robust hardware allow for easy configuration, OTA upgrades via web UI, and the simultaneous connection of a significantly higher number of devices than traditional access points.
- Raspberry Pi Wi‑Fi HaLow Camera HAT (Pi‑CamLow): this purpose‑built Raspberry Pi HAT integrates a 5MP camera and HT‑HC01 Wi‑Fi HaLow module, enabling rapid remote transmission of high‑resolution images. With support for dynamic and static image capture and advanced imaging features, Pi‑CamLow opens new possibilities for Raspberry Pi development in remote surveillance and other applications
- Wi‑Fi HaLow Dongle – 802.11ah Long-Range Wireless Network Bridge: engineered to replace Ethernet in select scenarios, this dongle leverages the HT‑HD01 module and supports four bandwidth modes for maximum flexibility. Whether paired with the HT‑H7608 router for star networking or used in point‑to‑point communication, the dongle provides seamless integration with existing networks
“Heltec Automation is proud to join forces with Morse Micro,” said Allen Ma, Commercial Director at Heltec Automation. “Integrating Wi‑Fi HaLow into our product range not only reinforces our commitment to innovation but also empowers our customers with versatile, high‑performance tools that redefine what’s possible in IoT deployments.”
