Morse Micro and Zetifi revolutionize smart farming with Wi-Fi HaLow, enhancing remote connectivity for precision agriculture and autonomous machinery.
Morse Micro's Zetifi
Morse Micro, renowned for its Wi-Fi HaLow silicon, and Zetifi, a pioneer in last-mile connectivity for farms, announced a strategic partnership to elevate Zetifi’s remote-area connectivity solutions.
Zetifi’s innovative technology empowers farmers and rural residents to optimize coverage from existing networks, addressing the challenge of unreliable or unavailable phone coverage in remote areas.
“The Internet of Things is revolutionizing farming, and now Wi-Fi HaLow – the first version of Wi-Fi optimized for the IoT — is helping Zetifi deliver on the promise of smart, connected farming technology,” emphasized Dan Winson, CEO and founder of Zetifi.
Zetifi currently offers two core products, ZetiCell and ZetiRover, providing farm-wide Wi-Fi connectivity. ZetiCell, a long-range Wi-Fi small cell, is installed on farm structures, while ZetiRover, a roaming Wi-Fi hotspot, is mounted on vehicles or farm machinery.
The collaboration with Morse Micro aims to elevate these products by integrating Wi-Fi HaLow technology, extending the reach and reliability of connectivity.
Morse Micro’s Wi-Fi HaLow technology is poised to elevate Zetifi’s farm-wide Wi-Fi connectivity, enabling precision agriculture and remote monitoring. This collaboration is a significant stride towards realizing the potential of connectivity-dependent autonomous machinery in the agricultural sector.
“Our collaboration with Morse Micro is a defining moment in Zetifi’s mission to bring digital advancements to modern farming through remote-area connectivity,” stated Dan Winson.
ZetiRover, a vehicle-mounted roaming Wi-Fi hotspot, is a pivotal component of Zetifi’s connectivity solutions. The current version uses 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) Wi-Fi, but the next generation will incorporate Morse Micro’s long-range, sub-GHz Wi-Fi HaLow technology.
This upgrade aims to connect directly to HaLow-enabled cameras and sensors, enhancing connectivity in challenging terrains and ensuring a more robust link between ZetiCell and ZetiRover.
“Zetifi’s wireless technology brings an innovative approach to rural connectivity, and we are proud to join them in transforming smart farming technology with our Wi-Fi HaLow technology,” expressed Prakash Guda, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Morse Micro.
Morse Micro’s Wi-Fi HaLow portfolio includes the industry’s smallest, fastest, and lowest power IEEE 802.11ah compliant SoCs. The MM6108 SoC, a portfolio highlight, supports various bandwidths and delivers high throughput, supporting activities like streaming HD video.
Morse Micro’s Wi-Fi HaLow SoCs outshine traditional Wi-Fi solutions with impressive range, coverage area, and volume.
CES 2024 witnesses the collaboration of Morse Micro and Zetifi in unveiling a groundbreaking solution to bolster remote-area connectivity for smart IoT farming.
The Morse Micro and Zetifi collaboration is poised to reshape the landscape of smart IoT farming by addressing connectivity challenges in remote areas.
As the agricultural sector embraces digital transformation, integrating Wi-Fi HaLow technology signifies a pivotal step towards realizing the full potential of precision agriculture and autonomous machinery in the years ahead.
