The Morse Micro MM8108 represents a pivotal leap in wireless connectivity for IoT developers, introducing a new era of low-power, long-range performance through Wi-Fi HaLow. Announced at Embedded World 2025, this second-generation SoC sets a new benchmark for energy efficiency, range, and IP-native wireless integration in constrained embedded systems.
Wi-Fi HaLow is a sub-GHz version of Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11ah) optimised for long-range, low-power applications—ideal for environments where traditional 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks fall short. With the Morse Micro MM8108, engineers can now achieve up to 10x the range and 100x the area coverage of standard Wi-Fi, all from a single access point.
What truly sets the MM8108 apart is its industry-leading transmitter efficiency. While legacy Wi-Fi transceivers typically achieve just 6–11% power efficiency during transmission, the MM8108 boasts a remarkable 37%. This results in a 4x increase in battery life, double the effective range, and significant reductions in maintenance for IoT deployments.
The chip delivers secure, native IP connectivity, which means there’s no need for gateways or protocol translations—an essential feature for simplifying smart city infrastructure, industrial monitoring, and agricultural sensor networks. The MM8108 supports real-time bidirectional communication while maintaining the low power profile required for battery-powered devices.
To support rapid integration, it is available with a detailed evaluation kit that includes an onboard jumper system for precise power measurements, a dedicated HaLow access point, and test points to observe current consumption in real-world conditions. This enables engineers to confidently validate performance claims and benchmark against existing wireless solutions.
Applications for this device span across smart agriculture, logistics, environmental sensing, and large-scale retail analytics—anywhere robust, low-energy wireless communication is critical. The Morse Micro MM8108 not only challenges the assumptions of Wi-Fi’s power-hungry past but also positions Wi-Fi HaLow as the next essential standard for scalable, secure, and efficient IoT networks.
If your design brief includes extended battery life, long-distance communication, and reliable IP connectivity, the MM8108 deserves a front-row spot in your wireless strategy.
