Morse Micro Unveils New HaLowLink 2 at CES 2026 for IoT Applications
Morse Micro, a prominent player in the semiconductor industry for Wi-Fi HaLow technology, has announced the general availability of its latest product, HaLowLink™ 2, during CES 2026 in Las Vegas. This new addition to their lineup is a long-range, all-in-one Wi-Fi HaLow router, access point, and extender, aimed at enabling developers and enterprises to easily establish secure and efficient wireless networks for their Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
The HaLowLink 2 is powered by the MM8108 chipset, which boasts impressive performance metrics, including a throughput of 43Mbps from a substantially extended range. This device is specifically designed to operate on the sub-1 GHz band, making it exceptionally suited for expansive environments such as smart cities, agricultural settings, industrial complexes, and large corporate campuses. Given the world’s increasing reliance on IoT solutions, this innovation aims to bridge the demands for high-performance wireless communication alongside the vast coverage that proprietary wireless technologies typically provide.
Not only does the HaLowLink 2 reduce the complexities associated with network deployment, but it also enhances user experience through its straightforward setup process. When integrated with another HaLowLink 2 device, it can vastly extend the Wi-Fi reach beyond conventional limits, facilitating robust connectivity for both HaLow and non-HaLow devices via various means, including Ethernet and USB connections. Morse Micro's mission is crystal clear: simplifying the deployment of long-range, low-power Wi-Fi networks on a global scale — from the United States to Japan, across Australia, Europe, and the United Kingdom.
The product is engineered on Mediatek's MT7621 CPU platform alongside the OpenWrt 23.05 operating system, which provides a flexible and robust software foundation. It features an intuitive web interface for configuration and management, SSH/CLI access for advanced users, and efficient over-the-air updates. The HaLowLink 2 also includes dual Gigabit Ethernet ports and a USB-C interface for added convenience, making it not just a long-range device but a versatile one that adapts to various network needs.
In terms of physical design, the HaLowLink 2 is compact and industrially built, ensuring it meets regional compliance with specific antennas and power adapters included for different global markets. It underscores Morse Micro's commitment to delivering powerful, resilient, and energy-efficient solutions tailored to the realities of modern connectivity challenges.
Morse Micro's co-founder and CEO, Michael De Nil, reflected on this launch: "With the HaLowLink 2 now widely available, we're empowering our customers to effortlessly implement long-range, low-power Wi-Fi solutions suitable for a variety of applications at scale." He emphasized that this product stands as a testament to their ongoing innovation and leadership in the field of next-generation wireless technologies.
Currently, the HaLowLink 2 is available for purchase at a price point of $129, enabling broader access for both developers and enterprises keen on optimizing their IoT infrastructures.
Overall, the introduction of the HaLowLink 2 marks a significant milestone in the evolution of Wi-Fi HaLow technology, promising transformative improvements in how connected devices communicate efficiently over immense distances — all while consuming minimal power. As industry demands grow and the number of connected devices rises, solutions like HaLowLink 2 are essential in paving the way toward more connected, sustainable, and intelligent environments.
