Askey Partners With Newracom To Elevate IoT Innovation With Wi-Fi HaLow Module

The evolution of Wi-Fi technology takes a significant leap forward with the introduction of the next-generation Wi-Fi HaLow Module by Askey, powered by Newracom's System on Chip (SoC), NRC7394. This development underscores the growing adoption and confidence in Wi-Fi HaLow's capabilities, particularly its long-range and low-power features, which are essential for a wide array of Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

Askey's latest offering, the WAH0070 Wi-Fi HaLow module, boasts a compact design measuring 18mm by 13.5mm and a height of just 2.1mm. It is engineered with an optional power amplifier, providing users the choice to enhance distance and signal strength or to operate without the amplifier for energy-saving purposes in low-power scenarios. This flexibility makes the module an excellent fit for IoT deployments in smart cities, automation in buildings and factories, smart retail environments, security systems, telematics, and portable devices that require long-range connectivity.

"We are pleased to collaborate with Newracom to develop a Wi-Fi HaLow module that can meet the needs of the next generation of IoT and Smart devices. Wi-Fi HaLow adoption has been steadily growing, and we’re honored to continue to be a leader in the Wi-Fi HaLow space," said Tommy Lin, 11ah Product Development AVP at Askey.

Frank Lin, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Newracom, also expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: "We’re delighted to have a partner like Askey, who has aligned with our vision for the adoption of Wi-Fi HaLow as an innovative IoT connectivity bearer. ASKEY is at the forefront of providing smart applications, and their continued support of the Wi-Fi HaLow propels the true potential of the technology."

The WAH0070 module is poised to enhance the Wi-Fi HaLow market significantly. Its capabilities include extending over a kilometer in range, conserving power, penetrating signals effectively through obstacles, ensuring robust WPA3 security, and facilitating IP-based communication. These features are set to accelerate the development of smarter IoT-based services further.
