# Morse Micro

> Morse Micro is a fabless semiconductor company based in Sydney, Australia, that designs Wi-Fi HaLow (IEEE 802.11ah) chips for the Internet of Things. Its sub-1 GHz system-on-chips deliver roughly ten times the range of conventional Wi-Fi at a fraction of the power, letting a single access point connect thousands of sensors, cameras and devices across homes, factories, farms and cities. Founded in 2016 by Wi-Fi chip designers Michael De Nil and Andrew Terry, the company has raised more than US$190 million and ships its award-winning MM6108 and second-generation MM8108 silicon to customers worldwide.
