"Edge AI is changing the requirements for embedded wireless connectivity as intelligence moves into cameras, industrial equipment, energy systems and other devices operating throughout the physical world," said Michael De Nil, co-founder and CEO of Morse Micro. "This award recognizes the MM8108's ability to bring together the range, power efficiency and bandwidth needed to connect intelligent devices wherever they need to operate." The 2026 Mobile Breakthrough Awards received thousands of nominations from around the world, with winners across other categories including Starlink, Samsung, Verizon, Ivanti, Vonage, Iridium, Comcast, Boingo, AT&T and Qualcomm. This latest recognition builds on Morse Micro's long-standing track record with the Mobile Breakthrough Awards, including multiple wins since 2020 for embedded wireless, rural wireless and enterprise Wi-Fi innovation. About Morse Micro Morse Micro is the global technology leader in Wi-Fi HaLow, advancing IoT and Edge AI connectivity with award-winning technology. Headquartered in Sydney, with offices in the United States, Taiwan, China, India, Japan, and the United Kingdom, Morse Micro is driving the adoption of next-generation long-range, low-power Wi-Fi HaLow solutions. Its first-generation MM6108 and second-generation MM8108 Wi-Fi HaLow chips are designed to enable faster, longer range and lower power Edge AI connectivity. Morse Micro's Wi-Fi HaLow technology is gaining global momentum as it enables connected devices to achieve 10x the range and cover 100x the area of traditional Wi-Fi networks, while offering 1,000x the data rates of traditional LPWAN technologies. This advancement is applicable across a range of Edge AI and IoT applications, including smart homes, industrial automation, and smart cities.

ABI Research: Wi-Fi HaLow device shipments forecast to reach nearly 300 million units in 2031. October 22, 2026 | RESEARCH & ANALYSIS | by Claus Hetting, Wi-Fi NOW CEO & Chairman By Claus Hetting, WiFi NOW CEO & Chairman New research from ABI Research points to a dramatic expansion of the Wi-Fi HaLow market, with its serviceable addressable market expected to grow at more than 60% annually to reach 297 million devices by 2031. Driven in large part by chipset pioneer Morse Micro, the Wi-Fi HaLow ecosystem has expanded significantly in recent years. The new findings suggest the technology could be approaching a major commercial breakthrough. Still unsure about the future of Wi-Fi HaLow? The lesser-known Wi-Fi standard designed for long-range, low-power IoT connectivity - and increasingly edge AI - has so far seen relatively modest commercial adoption. But that could soon change. A new report by ABI Research - authored by Principal Analyst Andrew Spivey - suggests Wi-Fi HaLow is entering a period of potentially explosive market growth as the technology expands beyond its initial footprint. ABI Research estimates that Wi-Fi HaLow's total addressable market (TAM) represents nearly 10 billion annual device shipments in 2026, increasing to 14.3 billion by 2031. More significantly, the serviceable addressable market (SAM) for Wi-Fi HaLow is expected to grow from 27 million devices this year to 297 million in 2031 - representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 62%. The opportunity is concentrated in three major segments: IoT applications, smart home devices, and networking equipment. One of the important drivers of this expansion is the potential for Wi-Fi HaLow infrastructure to support multiple applications once deployed, ABI Research says. "Once Wi-Fi HaLow infrastructure has been embedded in an environment for an initial application, the additional cost for enabling further Wi-Fi HaLow applications is marginal, so Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and enterprises will be incentivised to expand Wi-Fi HaLow to further applications to improve operational efficiencies and boost ROI," Andrew Spivey writes in the report. Greater diversity of devices in the pipeline. ABI Research expects the diversity of Wi-Fi HaLow-enabled smart home devices to increase significantly after 2028. While security cameras, smart doorbells, and smart lighting are expected to account for a substantial share of the market, adoption could broaden to include connected door locks, garage door sensors, environmental sensors, and numerous other applications. Smart metering is another important growth opportunity identified in the report. Industrial automation and Wi-Fi HaLow-enabled smartphones and smartphone adaptors are also expected to contribute, although these will remain comparatively small market segments, ABI Research says. Wi-Fi HaLow silicon leader Morse Micro - a WiFi NOW Partner and multiple WiFi NOW Awards winner - has been a principal architect behind establishing the Wi-Fi HaLow ecosystem, which now consist of a full range of module and device makers as well as development partners. Chipmaker Newracom has also contributed to expanding the ecosystem. For more details on Wi-Fi HaLow technology and ecosystem, see its comprehensive Resource Centre coverage here.

Vantron's VT-MOB-AH-8108 Wi-Fi HaLow module has earned CE, FCC, and UL certification, Morse Micro announced on October 15, 2026. The module is built on Morse Micro's MM8108 system-on-chip and is now cleared for mass production. It measures 11 x 10 x 2.28mm and supports data rates of up to 43.3Mbps across 1, 2, 4, and 8MHz channel bandwidths. It also offers WPA3 security and supports station and access point modes. The module targets industrial IoT, smart infrastructure, and edge AI-enabled security applications. "With certification in North America and Europe completed, device makers can accelerate their product development activities with confidence," said Michael De Nil, co-founder and chief executive officer of Morse Micro.
