Morse Micro Receives CES 2021 Innovation Award for its Wi-Fi HaLow Technology

CES Award Highlights Morse Micro’s Wi-Fi HaLow Product Leadership Across the IoT Ecosystem

SYDNEY and IRVINE, Calif., December 15, 2020 – Morse Micro, an Australian start-up reinventing Wi-Fi for the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that it has been named a CES® 2021 Innovation Awards Honoree for its Wi-Fi HaLow technology in the Embedded Technologies category. The CES Innovation Awards is an annual competition honoring outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology products. Morse Micro Wi-Fi HaLow will be on display at the CES website and during the all-digital CES from January 11-14, 2021.

Morse Micro’s smallest Wi-Fi HaLow system-on-chip provides 10 times the range, 100 times the area and 1000 times the volume of traditional Wi-Fi. Utilizing narrow frequency bands in the unlicensed sub-1 GHz spectrum and away from the highly-congested 2.4 GHz traditional Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi HaLow penetrates obstacles more easily and reaches farther than 1km. Developed specifically for the modern Internet of Things (IoT), a single Wi-Fi HaLow Access Point (AP) can securely connect up to 8,191 devices which simplifies network deployment and reduces costs.  


“The ultra-long range and massive capacity of our Wi-Fi HaLow technology along with its ultra-low-power is a game changer for the IoT,” said Michael De Nil, co-founder and chief executive officer at Morse Micro. “We are thrilled that our chip is being recognized as the best in innovation by CES for its design and engineering attributes in the embedded technologies category, and even more excited about what lies ahead.”

Winning the 2021 CES Innovation Award culminates a tremendous end of year for Morse Micro. The company announced an additional new funding round in November and was recently named 2020 Best Wi-Fi Startup and the Best Wi-Fi IoT Product for its Wi-Fi HaLow 802.11ah solution at the 2020 Wi-Fi NOW Awards.

Morse Micro flexible solutions solve connectivity across the IoT ecosystem and overcome the fundamental weaknesses of existing wireless technologies offering ultra-low power, longer range, and secure connections at a much higher capacity. Morse Micro’s strong and diverse system portfolio of IP and patents plays a critical role in Wi-Fi HaLow across the complete IoT ecosystem, from surveillance systems and access control to industrial automation and mobile devices, while allowing for maximum wireless connectivity using the most ubiquitous wireless communications protocol, Wi-Fi.
