Vantron is proud to announce a strengthened partnership with Morse Micro, as the two companies prepare to jointly showcase how Wi-Fi HaLow hardware is redefining large-scale retail connectivity at NRF’s Big Show 2026, taking place January 11–13 at the Javits Center in New York.

At the event, Vantron and Morse Micro will demonstrate how the integrated combination of embedded hardware, next-generation wireless connectivity, and cloud-based device management can support the rapidly evolving demands of modern retail from QSR automation to fully connected, data-driven store environments.

NRF 2026 Showcase: Hardware Built by Vantron. Connected by Morse Micro. Managed by BlueSphere.

As retail continues to accelerate its digital transformation, stores and quick service restaurants are becoming increasingly device-dense. From self-ordering kiosks and drive-thru systems to cloud-native POS, electronic shelf labels (ESLs), smart shelves, and in-store video analytics, modern retail operations rely on a growing ecosystem of connected edge devices.

With over 20 years of experience in embedded system development, Vantron delivers high-performance, industrial-grade edge hardware, communication devices, and displays trusted across retail, transportation, industrial automation, and robotics. Complementing this foundation, Morse Micro, the world’s leading provider of Wi-Fi HaLow silicon, brings unprecedented range, penetration, and power efficiency to large-scale IoT networks.

Together, Vantron and Morse Micro are deepening their collaboration to build the industry’s most complete and commercially viable Wi-Fi HaLow retail ecosystem, spanning edge devices, wireless infrastructure, and system-level deployment. At NRF 2026, this end-to-end vision will be demonstrated across three key layers.

1. Scalable Embedded Systems for QSR and Retail Automation

At the edge of retail operations, Vantron delivers end-to-end embedded solutions designed to improve speed, reliability, and operational efficiency across QSR and retail scenarios. These solutions support a wide range of applications, including self-service kiosks, point-of-sale systems, service robots, drive-thru menu boards, and indoor digital signage.

Built for flexibility and long-term reliability, Vantron’s embedded platforms help QSR operators streamline workflows—from customer ordering and kitchen displays to checkout—accelerating store modernization and digitalization.

At NRF 2026, Vantron will showcase a comprehensive portfolio of industrial tablets, all-in-one panel PCs, and embedded modules, illustrating how these systems integrate seamlessly into real-world retail deployments.

2. Wi-Fi HaLow Solutions for Next-Gen Connected Retail

As the number of edge devices continues to grow, connectivity becomes a critical bottleneck. Traditional wireless technologies often struggle to balance coverage, power efficiency, and data throughput at scale—particularly in large stores and complex retail layouts. Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah), powered by Morse Micro’s industry-leading silicon, is purpose-built to address these challenges. Operating in the sub-GHz band, HaLow enables long-range communication, extended battery life, and reliable performance across dense retail environments.

Morse Micro is showcasing how Wi-Fi HaLow unlocks a new class of intelligent, connected retail experiences that are simply not possible with conventional wireless technologies. From sprawling big-box stores to warehouses, Wi-Fi HaLow enables thousands of devices to connect reliably across long distances, through walls, shelving, refrigeration units, and dense store infrastructure.

Purpose-built for IoT at scale, Wi-Fi HaLow delivers the rare combination of extended range, strong indoor and outdoor penetration, meaningful throughput, large  device density, and IP-native security, making it ideal for retail use cases such as electronic shelf labels, smart shelves, digital signage, loss-prevention cameras, cold-chain monitoring, queue management, robotics, and sensor-driven analytics. Retailers can deploy fewer access points, reduce cabling and infrastructure costs, and operate battery-powered devices for years.

Vantron offers a complete Wi-Fi HaLow hardware portfolio designed for large-scale retail IoT deployments, including HaLow modules, access points, gateways, routers, and cameras. At NRF 2026, Vantron will not only present this full HaLow family, but also launch two new HaLow devices and demonstrate an operational, end-to-end HaLow ecosystem running live on the show floor:

• RAH305 Wi-Fi HaLow Router: Powered by the advanced MM6108 Wi-Fi HaLow chipset, Vantron RAH305 redefines long-range connectivity by combining the IEEE 802.11ah (Wi-Fi HaLow) standard with traditional Wi-Fi 6, providing unparalleled deployment flexibility for large-scale retail deployments.
• HCAM102 Wi-Fi HaLow IP Camera: Powered by the Morse Micro MM6108 chipset, the HCAM102 offers long-distance connectivity with ultra-low power consumption, making it well-suited for store monitoring, cold storage surveillance, and loss prevention.

3. BlueSphere: Secure Remote Management at Scale

Completing the solution stack, Vantron will also demonstrate its self-developed BlueSphere cloud-based platform, including GWM and MDM, designed for centralized remote management of IoT communication devices and Android-based terminals.

Through secure device onboarding, real-time monitoring, and OTA updates, BlueSphere enables retailers to operate, maintain, and scale distributed device networks efficiently, while ensuring data security and reducing operational overhead across multi-store deployments.
