FGH100M
Wi-Fi HaLow
To address extensive indoor and outdoor IoT applications.
The FGH100M is a long-range, low-power Wi-Fi HaLow module compliant with IEEE 802.11ah standard. It operates in 850–950MHz bands with 1/2/4/8MHz channel width and features 21dBm maximum output power and 32.5Mbps theoretical maximum transmission rate.
Wi-Fi HaLow is an open standard Wi-Fi technology operating in the license-exempt Sub-1GHz range, designed to meet unique IoT requirements, thereby expanding smart home or smart city networks with its Sub-1GHz signal coverage, allowing users to control IoT devices in a radius of 1km.
The surface-mount technology enhances its durability and robustness. The LGA package ensures easy embedding of the module into size-constrained applications to provide reliable connectivity. The advanced package allows for the strict requirements on cost and efficiency of large scale automated manufacturing. With its ultra-compact size of 13.0mm × 13.0mm × 2.2mm, the FGH100M optimizes and effectively reduces end-product size and design cost, and fully meets the demands of size-sensitive applications.
The FGH100M Wi-Fi HaLow module, provides long range data transmission, low power consumption, less complexity as well as improved penetration through walls and other obstructions for a wide range of IoT applications.
Adopting the IEEE 802.11ah wireless networking protocol, also known as Wi-Fi HaLow, operating in the license-exempt Sub-1GHz range, the FGH100M module meets the unique requirements of the Internet of Things (IoT) with its Sub-1GHz signal coverage, allowing users to control IoT devices in one kilometer radius. It provides ten times the range of traditional Wi-Fi, making it suited for both indoor and outdoor IoT scenarios such as home and industrial automation, smart agriculture, smart cities, smart buildings, warehouses, retail stores, campuses and more.
Based on Morse Micro’s MM6108 Wi-Fi HaLow SoC, the FGH100M is compliant with IEEE 802.11ah Wi-Fi standard and operates in 850–950MHz bands with 1/2/4/8MHz channel width. It features 21 dBm maximum output power and 32.5Mbps maximum transmission rate.
The FGH100M Wi-Fi HaLow module enables lower power connectivity than previous Wi-Fi technologies and is able to support coin cell battery devices operating for months or years, which is critical for use cases such as smart sensors and condition monitor. Unlike similar IoT technologies, Wi-Fi HaLow supports native IP and does not require proprietary gateways, controllers, or hubs, which greatly streamlines the installation and reduces operating costs.
With its ultra-compact size of 13.0mm × 13.0mm × 2.2mm, the FGH100M effectively optimizes end-product size and design cost, and fully meets the demands of size-sensitive applications. Additionally, the module provides a wide range of interfaces including UART, SPI, I2C, SDIO 2.0, and PWM.
The FGH100M satisfies the latest Wi-Fi requirements for authentication and encryption including WPA3 and AES for over-the-air (OTA) traffic. It also supports SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 encryption algorithms to better protect transmission data.
