SX-SDMAH Evaluation

Industrial grade high transmission power MM6108-based 802.11ah Wi-Fi HaLow module

Powered by MM6108 Wi-Fi HaLow IC from Morse Micro, SX-SDMAH is high performance IEEE 802.11ah Wi-Fi module that operates in the Sub 1GHz license-exempt band. It offers a much greater range up over 1km compared with 2.4GHz/5GHz/6GHz Wi-Fi. The SX-SDMAH US SKUs provides up to 32.5Mbps bit rate to elevate the Wi-Fi HaLow experience. The SX-SDMAH evaluation board mounted with the SX-SDMAH  module is designed to allow easy evaluation of the 802.11ah radio using the Raspberry Pi reference platform.

We also offer evaluation image that includes the Silex reference radio driver, supplicant and tools to test the following.

  • Basic Wireless Functionality
  • Wi-Fi Security
  • Data Throughput
  • Station & Access Point Mode
  • DHCP Server and Client

We also offers the FreeRTOS SDK for STM32U575 microcontroller if you are looking for the FreeRTOS support.

What you will need?

You will need to procure the following to begin evaluation. Please prepare necessary hardware especially when you have SX-SDMAH-EVB-US or SX-SDMAH-R2-EVB-US, which is the evaluation board only.

Hardware: 

SX-SDMAH-EVK-US/SX-SDMAH-R2-EVK-US: This evaluation kit contains everything you need to get up and running. The Kit includes:

   • SX-SDMAH-EVB-US or SX-SDMAH-R2-EVB-US (Module installed)
   • Antenna for the SX-SDMAH-US or SX-SDMAH-R2-US
   • Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 8GB RAM
   • AC adaptor for Raspberry Pi (5V/3A or higher)
   • Micro SD card (Evaluation software to be requested here.)

PC (Windows 10 or higher is recommended)

Note: You will need at least TWO sets of evaluation kits to begin evaluation. One will act as the AP, while the other as the station. 

Software and Documentation:
