Description
Wi-Fi HaLow SDIO/USB Evaluation Board MM8108-CS3
The MM8108-CS3 Wi-Fi HaLow Evaluation Board is powered by the Morse Micro® MM8108 SoC, providing long-range, low-power wireless connectivity for next-generation IoT applications. Operating in Sub-GHz frequency bands and compliant with IEEE 802.11ah, it delivers superior signal penetration, reliable communication, and energy-efficient performance compared with conventional Wi-Fi technologies.
Designed for rapid evaluation and seamless integration, the MM8108-CS3 supports USB 2.0 High-Speed and SDIO 2.0 interfaces, making it ideal for Industrial IoT, smart metering, smart agriculture, asset tracking, and smart infrastructure deployments.
Powered by the Morse Micro® MM8108 SoC
At the core of the MM8108-CS3 is the highly integrated Morse Micro® MM8108 SoC, combining RF, PHY, and MAC functions into a single-chip solution. Supporting PHY data rates up to 43.3 Mbps with 256-QAM modulation over an 8 MHz channel, it delivers reliable long-range communication with excellent receiver sensitivity.
Integrated PA and LNA technologies further enhance wireless coverage and stability, making the MM8108-CS3 an ideal platform for evaluating next-generation Wi-Fi HaLow applications.
