Morse Micro MM8108-EKH19 Wi-Fi® HaLow® Evaluation Kit

Morse Micro MM8108-EKH19 Wi-Fi® HaLow® Evaluation Kit features a USB 2.0 network adapter reference design based on the MM8108 System-on-Chip (SoC), an SMA Wi-Fi HaLow antenna, and a GL-MT3000 router. The Morse Micro MM8108-EKH19 Evaluation Kit demonstrates the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of adding Wi-Fi HaLow technology to a design (including existing designs) using a USB 2.0 interface. Wi-Fi HaLow is a global Wi-Fi standard (IEEE 802.11ah) tailored to meet the needs of the Internet of Things (IoT). This open standard wireless network technology operates in the sub-1GHz license-exempt RF bands (850MHz to 950MHz range). By operating in the sub-GHz range, this ultra-low-power wireless protocol can connect more IoT devices at much longer distances and much lower power than traditional Wi-Fi.
