Sydney based startup Morse Micro which is developing chipsets for the ‘low-power’ Wi-Fi standard IEEE 802.11ah (aka HaLow) has secured Series A funding of $23.8m from a range of investors. HaLow has been designed for IoT applications. Access points consume much less power than other variants, can provide throughputs in multiple megabits per second and […]
Wi-Fi Alliance unveils HaLow – Wi-Fi for IoT
The Wi-Fi Alliance has announced plans to develop HaLow, a new version of the Wi-Fi standard optimised for IoT applications. HaLow will be based on the IEEE 802.11ah standard, will operate in the 900MHz band, giving better in-building penetration than current Wi-Fi operating in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and over twice the range of […]
ACMA proposes changes to WiFi bands regulation to better support IoT
The ACMA has proposed changes to the rules governing the use of WiFi bands that it says will make it easier for organisations to use spectrum for IoT applications. The proposed changes are set out in proposed variations to the Radiocommunications (Low Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence 2015 (LIPD class licence, details of which are set […]
