Las Vegas, USA, and Beijing, China, January 9, 2024 - CES 2025 - Morse Microelectronics, the world leader in Wi-Fi HaLow chips based on the IEEE 802.11ah standard, announced the launch of the highly anticipated second-generation MM8108 system-on-chip (SoC). Following the success of the first-generation MM6108 SoC, the MM8108 delivers comprehensive breakthroughs in core metrics such as coverage, data throughput, and power efficiency, while significantly reducing the cost, effort, and time to market for next-generation Wi-Fi HaLow products.

Morse Microelectronics introduces the second-generation MM8108 system-level chip
The MM8108 uses the world's first sub-GHz 256-QAM modulation technology to achieve superior transmission rates of up to 43.33 Mbp at a bandwidth of 8 MHz, making it ideal for applications such as agricultural, mining, industrial, domestic and urban environments. The MM8108's integrated 26dBm power amplifier (PA) has excellent power efficiency, and a low noise amplifier (LNA) ensures excellent performance without the need for external surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters to pass and be globally regulatory certified. Exceptional power efficiency greatly extends battery life, enabling the use of solar-powered Wi-Fi HaLow cameras and iot devices.
Compared to the first-generation MM6108, the MM8108 has a smaller volume with an extensible design
Andrew Terry, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Morse Microelectronics, said: "Our engineering team has once again created the smallest, fastest, and lowest-power Wi-Fi HaLow chip on the market. The MM8108 is able to provide a powerful and practical solution for the evolving needs of the Internet of Things. With host offloading, integrated amplifiers, and industry-leading security features, the MM8108 makes long-range, low-power iot application development easier and more cost-effective than ever."MM8108 Main performance: World's first 256-QAM (MCS9) operation: Improved spectral efficiency, minimized interference in high-density environments, throughput up to 43.33Mbps;
USB, SDIO, and SPI host integration: Easier integration, enabling USB access points and STA gateways to operate on new and existing network infrastructure;
Integrated power amplifier with unmatched transmission efficiency: 3.3V voltage source only needs 325mA stream consumption, transmitting output power up to 26dBm;
Low power operation: Optimized for battery-powered applications, significantly longer sleep time and ultra-low power consumption in sleep mode;
Leading receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) performance: The longest and fastest Wi-Fi HaLow chip on the market supports a wide range of applications, including support for AI iot devices and real-time transmission of multiple ultra-high definition (HD) 4K cameras over a wide range;
Enhanced security: Support for next generation WPA3 with SAE and GCMP encryption for strong link layer protection;
Scalable design: Compact 5 x 5 mm BGA package minimizes printed circuit board (PCB) size and cost
The MM8108 further strengthens Morse Microelectronics' leading position in the market for the highest quality, highest performance and most efficient Wi-Fi HaLow compatible chips.
Accelerate market growth To complement the cutting-edge MM8108, Morse Microelectronics has introduced the MM8108-RD09 USB Gateway reference design. The design demonstrates the convenience of upgrading the existing Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E/7 network infrastructure to support Wi-Fi HaLow. The gateway reference design will be offered to customers as a fully Wi-Fi Halow-compatible solution to help build commercial USB gateways or simplify the process of integrating the MM8108 chip into end products.

MM8108-RD09 USB gateway Features:
USB gateway using the latest generation MM8108 Morse microelectronics chipset;
SMA antennas selected for optimal performance;
Robust design that can be directly integrated into the customer's product design;
Fully compliant with IEEE 802.11ah standards;
It is certified by Wi-Fi Alliance's Wi-Fi HaLow.
The MM8108-RD09 USB gateway will be paired with the Raspberry Pi 4B, power supply, and antenna as a complete Wi-Fi HaLow evaluation Kit (MM8108-EKH19) for customers interested in testing and integrating the MM8108 into their platforms. This powerful combination makes the MM8108 the core of a plug and play compact solution that easily and efficiently integrates Wi-Fi HaLow connectivity into existing devices.
Michael De Nil, co-founder and CEO of Morse Microelectronics, said:
"MM8108-EKH19 is not only a Wi-Fi HaLow evaluation platform, but also an enabler of market transformation. By simplifying the integration process, we are making it easier for customers to adopt Wi-Fi HaLow, driving growth and opening up new opportunities for iot and beyond. These solutions position Morse Microelectronics as a leader in rapidly expanding markets, enabling businesses to leverage the full potential of Wi-Fi HaLow for transformative connectivity."
The MM8108 SoC, MM8108-RD09 and MM8108-EKH19 are now available for sample and evaluation. For more information, please contact a Morse Microelectronics representative.
