Morse Micro Wins the 2026 IoT Emerging Technology Award

Salt Lake City, April 27, 2026 — IoThinkTank is proud to announce that Morse Micro has been named the winner of the 2026 IoT Emerging Technology Award for its Wi-Fi HaLow IoT 2.0 Connectivity Platform.

Morse Micro earned top recognition for advancing a next-generation wireless connectivity platform designed for the long-range, low-power, high-capacity demands of modern IoT systems. Built around Wi-Fi HaLow and the IEEE 802.11ah standard, the platform addresses one of the industry’s most persistent challenges: enabling scalable IoT networks without forcing organizations to compromise between range, bandwidth, power efficiency, security, and IP-native integration.

As connected systems become more data-rich, distributed, and intelligent, the need for reliable wireless infrastructure continues to grow. Morse Micro’s Wi-Fi HaLow platform stood out for its ability to support broader coverage, higher device density, and secure connectivity across applications such as smart cities, industrial automation, agriculture, security infrastructure, and other large-scale IoT environments.

Why Morse Micro Won

The IoT Emerging Technology Award recognizes technologies with the potential to reshape how connected systems are designed, deployed, and scaled. Morse Micro’s Wi-Fi HaLow platform stood out because it advances a standards-based approach to IoT connectivity while addressing real deployment barriers across range, coverage, density, and integration.

At the core of the platform is Morse Micro’s MM8108 Wi-Fi HaLow SoC, designed to deliver high-throughput, kilometer-scale wireless performance with support for thousands of connected devices per access point. By operating in the sub-GHz spectrum while maintaining native IP connectivity and WPA3 security, the platform creates a practical path for organizations building next-generation IoT networks.

Morse Micro’s growing ecosystem, including partnerships with companies such as Milesight, Quectel, and Zetifi, further strengthens its position as a foundational technology for IoT 2.0. The company’s progress from trials to production-scale deployments demonstrates how Wi-Fi HaLow is moving beyond early promise and into real-world infrastructure.

“Emerging technology should do more than introduce a new feature. It should change what is possible for the broader IoT ecosystem. Morse Micro’s Wi-Fi HaLow platform stood out for addressing one of IoT’s most persistent connectivity challenges with a standards-based approach built for range, scale, security, and real-world deployment.”

A Second Consecutive Emerging Technology Win

This marks the second year in a row that Morse Micro has been recognized in the IoT Emerging Technology Award program. In 2025, Morse Micro was honored as part of the 2025 IoT Emerging Technology Award winners, and its 2026 win reinforces the company’s continued leadership in advancing Wi-Fi HaLow as a practical, scalable foundation for next-generation IoT deployments.

Honorable Mention

IoThinkTank also recognized iGarden with an Honorable Mention for its Lawn Mower L AWD Series, a robotic mower that combines LiDAR mapping, AI-powered camera detection, adaptive power management, all-wheel-drive slope handling, and wire-free navigation. Among iGarden’s submissions, the L AWD Series presented the strongest emerging technology case by addressing long-standing adoption barriers in robotic lawn care.
