The MRF61_FI_MCU wireless module from MegaChips is a product equipped with an IC for Wi-Fi HaLow (IEEE 802.11ah) communications and a microcontroller for IoT applications. The radio section of this wireless module is equipped with an SoC (MM6108) developed by MorseMicro, enabling Wi-Fi HaLow communication, which has features such as long-distance communication, wide transmission bandwidth, and low power consumption.
The wireless SoC is modularized in combination with a high-performance microcontroller (SAMD51 manufactured by Microchip) that has a wide range of external I/Fs and serves as the host for the wireless SoC. This enables various sensors and external devices to be connected to the on-board microcontroller, and data to be transferred to the cloud, etc. via Wi-Fi HaLow communication.
This wireless module is designed in compliance with the IEEE 802.11ah standard, supporting data rates up to 32.5 Mbps with programmable operation between 902 MHz and 928 MHz. It is ideal for users who are considering replacing their existing wireless technology with Wi-Fi HaLow while taking advantage of the latest WPA3 security protocol.
