Morse Micro MM8108 Wi-Fi® HaLow® SoC
Morse Micro MM8108 Wi-Fi® HaLow® System-on-Chip is a highly integrated, ultra-low-power, single-chip Wi-Fi HaLow-compliant connectivity solution. Ideal for a variety of Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, the MM8108 supports data rates up to 43.33Mbps at 8MHz bandwidth over the air in worldwide sub-GHz license-exempt bands. This Morse Micro SoC meets the IEEE 802.11ah standard, integrating full MAC and PHY implementations.
An integrated high-efficiency power amplifier (PA) and high-linearity low-noise amplifier (LNA) enable cost-effective and low-area solutions. The RF interface can be used with an external PCB-mount PA or front-end module (FEM) for ultra-long-reach applications. This SoC solution is 16x more efficient than standard Wi-Fi and fully supports leading Wi-Fi Halow security features, such as WPA3 with Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) and GCMP ciphers to ensure link layer communications start and remain protected.
