QOGRISYS Launches WIFI HaLow Module, Empowering IoT Innovation
Over the past decade, WIFI technology has established a vast network bridging homes and businesses, enabling billions of smart interconnected devices to swiftly exchange information. However, the current WIFI standards face challenges, including limitations in protocol range and overall functionality, making communication at greater distances difficult and hindering the potential formation of a truly interconnected ecosystem for smart devices.
To meet the demands of low-power IoT clients and accelerate innovation in IoT applications, WIFI HaLow technology has emerged based on the IEEE 802.11ah standard. In comparison to traditional WIFI, WIFI HaLow can connect up to 8,192 IoT devices at greater distances and lower power consumption through a single wireless access point (AP). The introduction of this technology holds the promise of breaking the limitations of communication distance, creating broader possibilities for the interconnection of smart devices.
The recently unveiled WIFI HaLow module, 4108E-S, by QOGRISYS Technologies, featuring the Morse Micro MM6108 chip at its core, signifies a significant innovation in the field of wireless communication. The introduction of this module is poised to provide a more robust and efficient connectivity solution for IoT applications. Widely applicable in scenarios such as smart cities, access control systems, smart agriculture, intelligent retail, and smart homes, it caters to the unique requirements of these domains, offering a more stable, reliable, and secure connectivity service for a broader range of indoor and outdoor IoT applications.
The WIFI HaLow module, 4108E-S, boasts a range of noteworthy features. Firstly, its smaller dimensions at 13.0 x 13.0 x 2.1mm align with the demand for compact modules in end-user products, effectively reducing the volume and associated deployment costs for customer products. Secondly, the module supports a variety of peripheral interfaces, including SDIO 2.0 and SPI mode operations. Additionally, it provides versatile interfaces such as a universal I2C interface, UART interface, GPIO interface, offering users greater flexibility for seamless integration into various application scenarios.
The 4108E-S MODULE highlights exceptional coverage performance, with robust penetration capabilities operating in the Sub-1GHz frequency band, reducing interference between signals and achieving extensive coverage over long distances. This module not only reliably connects IoT devices within a range of one kilometer, but its coverage distance even surpasses traditional WIFI by several times. Its outstanding signal penetration capability aids in overcoming structural obstacles, providing a more reliable connection.
In terms of power consumption, the 4108E-S MODULE operates in the 902–928MHz frequency band, supporting selectable 1/2/4/8MHz channel bandwidths, accommodating data throughput ranging from 3.333 Mbps to 32.5 Mbps. This enables devices to operate for extended periods in low-power mode, significantly reducing the frequency of recharging or battery replacement.
Furthermore, the 4108E-S MODULE excels in security, offering a multi-layered security feature set, including encryption (AES), hash algorithms (SHA-1/SHA-2), protected management frames (PMF), and open encryption (OWE), ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of wireless communication. This makes the 4108E-S MODULE an ideal choice for various scenarios, especially in environments with higher security requirements, providing a reliable wireless communication solution.
QOGRISYS has launched the WIFI HaLow module 4108E-S and is prioritizing its initial release in the North and South American markets. With the flourishing development and diverse demands of the Internet of Things (IoT), QOGRISYS is not only committed to continuous innovation but is also intensifying research and development efforts to enhance product performance. This series of efforts aims to gradually lead the IoT into a new era, where connectivity becomes more scalable, secure, and energy-efficient, achieving a new frontier in remote intelligence.
