Quectel Wireless Solutions has launched the FGH200M Wi-Fi HaLow module designed for long-range, low-power IoT connectivity. The module is based on the Morse Micro MM8108 chipset and operates in the sub-1GHz license-exempt frequency band. It provides extended coverage of approximately 1 km while supporting low power consumption and large-scale device connectivity.
The FGH200M adopts the IEEE 802.11ah wireless networking protocol, also known as Wi-Fi HaLow, operating in the license-exempt sub-1GHz spectrum. The module is designed to provide extended signal coverage and device control at distances of up to one kilometre.
“We’re excited to unveil the Quectel FGH200M,” said Delbert Sun, Vice General Manager, Product, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “This ultra-compact module combines long-range transmission with low power consumption, large capacity and good penetration performance for mass-scale IoT deployments. We look forward to supporting customers with the FGH200M’s attractive blend of capabilities across network performance, efficiency and robustness.”
The module operates in the 850-950 MHz frequency band with channel widths of 1, 2, 4 or 8 MHz and a maximum output power of 26 dBm. It supports a maximum physical data rate of 43.3 Mbps. A single access point using the module can support up to 8,191 IoT devices. It also supports USB 2.0, SDIO and SPI interfaces.
The FGH200M measures 11.0 mm × 10.0 mm × 2.0 mm and weighs 0.51 g. It operates within a temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C and supports AES, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, WPA3 and OWE encryption modes. Quectel also provides antenna options designed for use with the module, including the YECN009AA and YENT065W1BM antennas.
The FGH200M Wi-Fi HaLow module and other IoT solutions from Quectel were presented at MWC Barcelona.
