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.
