As the number of IoT devices continues to grow exponentially, industries are under increasing pressure to provide wireless connectivity that goes further, consumes less power, and offers stronger signal penetration—while maintaining security and reliability. Wi-Fi HaLow, operating in the sub-1 GHz spectrum, rises to meet these demands.  As a strategic partner of Morse Micro, Vantron offers a robust lineup of Wi-Fi HaLow solutions.

In this article, we’re proud to introduce our latest innovation: the VT-MOB-AH-8108, an ultra-compact, ultra-efficient Wi-Fi HaLow module engineered for both industrial and consumer IoT applications. A recent success story reflects how this technology is redefining smart home connectivity.

VT-MOB-AH-8108: Compact, Capable, and Designed for Extended Range

The VT-MOB-AH-8108 is a Land Grid Array (LGA) Wi-Fi HaLow module built around Morse Micro’s latest MM8108—the world’s smallest and most power-efficient Wi-Fi HaLow single-chip SoC. The module supports data rates of up to 43.3 Mbps at 8 MHz bandwidth, and provides USB 2.0, SDIO 2.0, and SPI interfaces. It supports both station (STA) and access point (AP) modes, offering exceptional flexibility for applications in industrial IoT, smart agriculture, environmental monitoring, and large-scale sensor networks.

This compact footprint (11×10×2.28mm) makes integration seamless, allowing OEMs to maintain sleek and space-saving product designs while delivering robust, long-range wireless performance. Built on this module, Vantron also offers a USB-AH-8108 Wi-Fi HaLow USB Dongle, featuring pre-built firmware and development packages to support rapid prototyping and testing on popular IoT platforms.

Proven Success in Smart Home Scenario

One of our customers, a U.S.-based global leader providing high-end smart home, lighting, and energy management solutions, was looking to develop a new generation of intelligent, ultra-compact keypads. Their goal was to integrate a tiny wireless module for long-range, highly responsive communication while maintaining the sleek product design and premium user experience.

How VT-MOB-AH-8108 enhances the system:

• Compact Design, Elegant Integration: Its ultra-small footprint allows customers to retain sleek, minimalistic designs for wall-mounted keypads and controllers.
• Extended Control Without Extenders: Its long-range sub-1 GHz capability enables reliable communication across large homes and outdoor installations—no need for Wi-Fi extenders.
• Reliable Signal Through Walls: Even when installed in areas with traditionally poor signal reception (e.g., thick-walled rooms), the module ensures stable connectivity.
• Low Power, Longer Battery Life: Reduced power consumption translates to longer battery life, fewer frequent replacements, and lower maintenance overhead.
• Massive Scalability: Supports AP mode for managing thousands of connected devices—ideal for lighting, security, curtains, thermostats, and more—without network congestion.
• Advanced Security: Equipped with WPA3 and strong hardware-based encryption, it protects data privacy and home security with enterprise-grade assurance.
• Matter Support: VT-MOB-AH-8108 supports the Matter protocol, enabling seamless integration into smart home ecosystems and allowing it to be easily controlled and managed through platforms like Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa.

Project Results：

• Secured Development Timeline: Delivered 10 modules on time for prototype assembly, reducing development cycle by 50%.
• Optimized RF Performance: Joint effort with the customer’s hardware team resulted in 15% signal strength improvement through RF layout optimization.
• Vantron became the custmer's preferred ODM partner for wireless modules with an annual demand forecast of 5,000+ units. The future collaboration extends to lighting control systems and more.
