Creating long range Wi-Fi, from Sydney
Morse Micro is a fabless semiconductor company building Wi-Fi HaLow (IEEE 802.11ah) chips: long-range, low-power, and secure connectivity.
The company was founded in Sydney in 2016 by former Broadcom engineers Michael De Nil and Andrew Terry, who led the design of Wi-Fi chips for modern smartphones. That experience now drives its work advancing Wi-Fi HaLow, a category Morse Micro helped define, as adoption grows around the world.
Executive team and board
Michael is a pioneer of modern Wi-Fi chips with an extensive background in digital chip design and low-power digital architectures. Prior to founding Morse Micro, Michael worked for Imec and Broadcom as wireless chip designer, revolutionizing connectivity of modern mobile phones.
In 2016 he seized an opportunity to change the game with the rise of IoT and the inception of a new Wi-Fi standard, IEEE802.11ah and founded Morse Micro, where he has since raised 200M in funding and commercialized the first record breaking Wi-Fi HaLow SoC that is about to power a new wave of IoT devices.
Andrew (Andy) Terry played a key role in the design of modern Wi-Fi radios in mixed-signal integrated circuits and was recognized with the President’s award at Broadcom for pioneering on-chip signal integrity work on the radios of landmark Wi-Fi chips.
Andy’s radio mastery underpins key functionalities of MM6108, the first record-breaking Wi-Fi HaLow SoC. As Morse Micro’s CTO Andy leads the engineering teams to successfully design world-leading Wi-Fi chips.
