Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Morse Micro launched HaLowLink 2 on 2026-01-08, accelerating enterprise deployments.
  • Design Partner and Module Partner programs launched in 2026, shortening customer integration cycles.
  • Matter certification from 2025-06-25 strengthens smart-home credibility and interoperability.

What critics are saying

  • Wi-Fi HaLow remains niche; adoption depends on partner-driven commercialization through 2026.
  • Series C on 2025-09-23 raised A$88 million, signaling continued capital intensity.
  • No layoffs or litigation surfaced; the existential risk is standards irrelevance versus Zigbee and Thread.

What makes Morse Micro unique

  • Morse Micro owns Wi-Fi HaLow, sub-GHz Wi-Fi for IoT 2.0, not generic connectivity.
  • MM8108 and HaLowLink 2 shipped in 2026, proving silicon-to-system execution.
  • Quectel FGH200M and DigiKey broaden distribution, validation, and customer access.

Morse Micro welcomes CA Engineering to Wi-Fi HaLow Design Partner Program.

Morse Micro welcomes CA Engineering to Wi-Fi HaLow Design Partner Program. 07/07/2026 Michael De Nil, co-founder and CEO of Morse Micro Morse Micro, the world's leading Wi-Fi HaLow silicon provider, today announced that CA Engineering has joined its Design Partner Program. The partnership brings one of North America's most experienced wireless design houses into Morse Micro's growing global ecosystem for production-ready Wi-Fi HaLow solutions. The Design Partner Program formalizes collaboration with vetted design houses, system integrators, and developer groups. CA Engineering joins as a design house partner, bringing an exciting history of radio frequency engineering, embedded firmware, and manufacturing-ready design. Customers building Wi-Fi HaLow products in North America now have another proven engineering partner to help them move faster from prototype to production. "CA Engineering is exactly the kind of partner this program was built for," said Michael De Nil, co-founder and CEO of Morse Micro. "They have spent decades getting wireless right, in the lab and in the field. That is the bridge between powerful silicon and products customers can trust at scale." CA Engineering has spent more than three decades turning hard wireless problems into shippable products. Its work spans antenna design, radio frequency simulation, embedded radio firmware, ruggedization, and regulatory approval, making CA Engineering well placed to bring Wi-Fi HaLow into the real-world industrial and infrastructure environments where range and reliability matter most. The partnership strengthens Morse Micro's reach across North America. It pairs proven silicon with extensive design expertise, giving customers a clearer path from idea to working system. The program complements Morse Micro's Global Module Partner Program and marks another step in scaling worldwide Wi-Fi HaLow adoption. "Range and battery life used to be a trade-off. Wi-Fi HaLow ends that compromise," said Bryan Davies, CRO at CA Engineering. "Our customers want connectivity that reaches further, draws less power, and integrates without added complexity. Working directly with Morse Micro lets us deliver it, from first design through production." Morse Micro continues to see strong interest from design houses worldwide. CA Engineering joins Gateworks and VPI Technology as one of the first official partners of the program, bringing long-range, low-power, and reliable wireless performance to industrial IoT, smart infrastructure, security, utilities, agriculture, and more.
