Quectel and Moss Micro Launch Industry's First Wi-Fi HaLow Module...

Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, and Morse Micro, a leading Wi-Fi HaLow silicon supplier, today announced at CES 2024 that the Quectel FGH100M Wi-Fi HaLow module has received CE certification in Europe and FCC (Federal Communications Commission) certification in the United States. Powered by Morse Micro's MM6108 SoC, the module's CE and FCC certifications highlight its rigorous testing and compliance with the highest standards of safety, health, and environmental protection required in the European region, while the FCC certification signifies that the module is approved for use in electronic devices sold in the United States.

These certifications represent a significant step in expanding the market reach of Wi-Fi HaLow technology and enabling widespread Wi-Fi HaLow and IoT application deployments across multiple regions. This industry-first achievement not only demonstrates Wi-Fi HaLow technology's readiness for the global market but also solidifies the protocol's position as a premier communications standard.

“Wi-Fi HaLow technology represents the future of global connectivity, and achieving both the CE mark and FCC certification validates the reliability, security, and interoperability of our Wi-Fi HaLow module,” said Norbert Muhrer, President and CSO of Quectel Wireless Solutions. “Our collaboration with Morse Micro has been instrumental in achieving this milestone and other industry certifications.”

Designed for extended range and low power consumption, Wi-Fi HaLow modules are ideal for a variety of IoT applications, from smart homes and industrial automation to agricultural technology. With these certifications, Quectel and Morse Micro are poised to lead the way in long-range, low-power IoT connectivity and deliver best-in-class Wi-Fi CERTIFIED HaLow solutions that meet the demands of today’s connected world.

“The Morse Micro team has been working tirelessly this year to expand the global reach of our Wi-Fi HaLow solutions, and today we are finally able to achieve CE certification for our module products,” said Prakash Guda, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Morse Micro. “By achieving European CE certification for the Wi-Fi HaLow module with Quectel, we are demonstrating the global adoption of the standard, which represents a significant leap forward in establishing Wi-Fi HaLow as the ubiquitous standard for IoT and wireless connectivity.”

Operating in the sub-GHz frequency band, the Wi-Fi HaLow 802.11ah standard was designed from the ground up for the IoT and offers an optimal combination of extended range, power efficiency, long battery life for wireless devices, superior wall penetration, large network capacity, advanced security, and Wi-Fi interoperability.
