Morse Micro announces Byte Lab as Europe's first Wi-Fi HaLow design partner

Morse Micro announces Byte Lab as Europe's first Wi-Fi HaLow design partner Croatian design and manufacturing company expands this partnership program to the European market, providing one-stop services from embedded design and certification to mass production * 2026.09.16 * 16:26 * Commercial Times, provided by the company The global leader in Wi-Fi HaLow chips, Morse Micro, announced that Byte Lab has officially joined the Design Partner Program. Byte Lab is headquartered in Zagreb, Croatia, and can complete electronic product design, certification, and manufacturing at the same site, providing European customers with one-stop services from product concept to mass production. Morse Micro's Design Partner Program aims to provide design companies, system integrators, and development teams with the chips, tools, and technical support they need to help bring Wi-Fi HaLow products to market quickly. After Byte Lab joins the program, customers developing products for the European market will have a partner that can complete the entire process from product design and certification to mass production within Europe. Michael De Nil, co-founder and CEO of Morse Micro, said he is very pleased that Byte Lab has become Morse Micro's first design partner in Europe. For European companies, completing product design, certification, and production locally will shorten the distance from product concept to successful launch of Wi-Fi HaLow products. Morse Micro chose Byte Lab to join the Design Partner Program mainly because of its extensive in-house technical capabilities and its track record of advancing products to large-scale mass production. Byte Lab was founded in 2011, and its business covers embedded hardware, embedded software, mechanical engineering, mobile and cloud development, and edge AI deployment. It can also manufacture using its own printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and box build production lines. Matija Puškar, co-founder and CEO of Byte Lab, said customers want to achieve broad network coverage in large industrial or infrastructure sites without maintaining connectivity through a series of repeaters. Wi-Fi HaLow can directly solve this need. In addition, Byte Lab can handle product design, certification, and production all the way from the customer's initial requirements without handing the product over to other third-party manufacturers. Morse Micro continues to receive great attention from design companies worldwide. After Byte Lab joins, it will become a partner in the program alongside Gateworks, VPI Technology, CA Engineering, Pace Wireless, and Vantron, committed to providing long-range, low-power, and reliable wireless connectivity performance for diverse fields such as the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), edge AI applications, smart infrastructure, security, utilities, and agriculture.

News update: LitePoint validates ST's UWB chip, Morse Micro's USB designs, AFC for UK, Cambium passes 50k 6 GHz PtMP radios. August 21, 2026 | WEEKLY NEWS BRIEF | by Claus Hetting, Wi-Fi NOW CEO & Chairman By Claus Hetting, WiFi NOW CEO & Chairman Next-gen UWB gets real as LitePoint validates ST's first IEEE 802.15.4ab silicon. This week test and measurement leader (and WiFi NOW Partner) LitePoint says it has successfully validated physical layer (PHY) performance for STMicroelectronics' ST64UWB chip family using LitePoint's next-generation UWB test system, IQgig-UWB+(TM). The successful test confirms that ST's silicon meets the requirements of the IEEE 802.15.4ab draft specification, giving UWB developers and ecosystem partners "confidence to accelerate development of their next-generation UWB products," LitePoint says. The new IEEE 802.15.4ab amendment introduces extended range and precision through multi-millisecond ranging (MMS) and narrowband assistance (NBA). It also strengthens radar-based sensing, LitePoint says. Read more here. Morse Micro announces two Wi-Fi HaLow USB Dongle Reference Designs. Wi-Fi HaLow leader Morse Micro this week announced two Wi-Fi HaLow USB Dongle Reference Designs that bring long-range Wi-Fi HaLow connectivity to existing devices via a simple USB connection. Morse Micro says the MM8108-RD09 Reference Design provides native Wi-Fi HaLow connectivity to a range of devices including access points (AP) and station (STA) products. OpenWrt drivers are available to enable Wi-Fi HaLow functionality on existing routers and APs with a USB interface. The MM8108-RD17 Reference Design allows for Wi-Fi HaLow integration into a wider range of client products without the need for drivers to be installed on the host. Read more here. WInnForum launches Ofcom AFC task group. The Wireless Innovation Forum (WInnForum) has announced the formation of its Ofcom AFC Task Group, a collaborative industry initiative dedicated to supporting the implementation of Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) systems for standard-power operation in the United Kingdom's 6 GHz band, WInnForum said in a press release here. "The newly established task group brings together AFC providers, device manufacturers, network operators, technology suppliers, regulators, and industry experts to develop a common framework that supports Ofcom's recently published AFC requirements," the organisation said. Cambium Networks passes 50,000 6 ghz-capable ePMP radios in North america. Cambium says it has now shipped more than 220,000 ePMP 4000 radios globally, including more than 50,000 6 GHz radios to North American service providers. The 50,000 figure is particularly important in that it should put any claim that AFC-enabled standard-power 6 GHz would never produce meaningful commercial deployments to rest. Cambium Networks has delivered the hard evidence that fixed wireless operators are actually deploying the 6 GHz band at scale. Cambium's new ePMP(TM) Software Release 5.12 also adds performance gains and a lower-cost path to expand coverage by turning subscriber modules into access points, the company says. Read more here.
