Morse Micro, the world’s leading provider of Wi-Fi HaLow chips, has officially announced a partnership with Heltec Automation, a partnership which will look to accelerate the delivery of Wi-Fi HaLow enabled devices.
Under the agreed terms, Heltec Automation has integrated Morse Micro’s MM6108 Wi‑Fi HaLow SoC into a suite of five highly differentiated products. This it will do for the purpose of enabling new long-range connectivity, high data speeds, and energy-efficient performance for industrial and commercial IoT.
More on that would reveal how this particular partnership stitches together Morse Micro’s industry‑leading wireless technology with Heltec Automation’s expertise in hardware innovation to drive a new era of connectivity solutions.
This happens to be a big deal because Heltec’s new Wi-Fi HaLow designs can conceive value for a host of sectors, ranging from smart cities and industrial automation to remote surveillance and intelligent manufacturing. In fact, Heltec Automation has also launched a new product line dedicated to leveraging versatility and power of Wi‑Fi HaLow technology.
“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.”
Talk about Heltec’s new product line on a slightly deeper level, we begin from Wi‑Fi HaLow Module (HT‑HC01), which would be a compact Wi-Fi HaLow module optimized for easy integration into a variety of PCBs. The stated module arrives on the scene bearing an ability to provide excellent RF performance in the 902–928 MHz band.
Thanks to its potential for long‑range transmission, multiple channel bandwidth options, and low power consumption, the HT‑HC01 module is understood to be well-suited for battery‑operated devices that require extended sleep modes without sacrificing connectivity.
Next up, we have ESP32 Wi‑Fi HaLow Camera (HT‑HC32), a solution drawing its basis from the ESP32‑S3 MCU with the HT‑HC01 module. In practice, ESP32 Wi‑Fi HaLow offers users high ‑speed (up to 32 Mbps) and long‑range (over 1 km) wireless communication.
It also delivers at their disposal a 200‑pixel wide‑angle camera with advanced image processing capabilities, including auto exposure and gain control. This it provides alongside support for Arduino development, integrated SD card storage, and comprehensive connectivity options.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in the availability of HT‑H7608 Wi‑Fi HaLow Router / Gateway, which is specifically designed for intelligent manufacturing, smart cities, and more. This dual‑band gateway is able to support both Wi‑Fi HaLow and 2.4 GHz networks, whereas its flexible networking methods (AP, STA, Mesh) and robust hardware also allow for easy configuration, OTA upgrades via web UI, as well as simultaneous connection involving a significantly higher number of devices than traditional access points.
Hold on, we still have a couple of bits left to unpack, considering we haven’t yet touched upon Heltec’s 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 to enable rapid remote transmission of high‑resolution images.
Thanks to support for dynamic and static image capture and advanced imaging features, Pi‑CamLow further opens new possibilities for Raspberry Pi development in remote surveillance and other applications.
Rounding up highlights would be the Wi‑Fi HaLow Dongle, a 802.11ah Long-Range Wireless Network Bridge, which is meticulously engineered to replace Ethernet in select scenarios. The stated dongle leverages HT‑HD01 module, and at the same time,, 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 also provides seamless integration with existing networks.
“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.”
