Built on Airfide's proven mmWave and Edge AI sensing architecture, the new sensor integrates Morse Micro's MM6108 Wi-Fi HaLow SoC. This enables 10x better coverage distance than Wi-Fi 4/5/6/7 while maintaining ultra-low power and high reliability for commercial and industrial IoT deployments.
“The Wi-Fi HaLow-enabled version of our sensor unlocks the potential of truly wireless, long-range, privacy-compliant occupancy detection,” said Venkat Kalkunte, CEO at Airfide. “From elderly care and smart offices to public transport hubs and warehouses, this device transforms how spaces are monitored – no cameras, no wearables, just insights.”
Key features:
— Long-range wireless with sub-GHz Wi-Fi HaLow, enabling whole-building coverage
— Edge AI detection of occupancy, presence, motion, fall events, and more
— Non-intrusive sensing using mmWave radar sensor for people counting and angle information
— Cloud platform for live monitoring and actionable insights
— Android and Apple iOS application for real-time monitoring and deployment
Use cases:
— Smart buildings and offices: Automate HVAC and lighting, optimize desk usage, monitor occupancy density
— Healthcare and aged care: Fall detection, inactivity alerts, presence monitoring without compromising privacy
— Retail and public spaces: People counting, dwell time analytics, queue monitoring and heatmaps
— Industrial and logistics: Worker tracking in hazardous zones, object detection, zone safety compliance alerts
“This collaboration is helping us bring to life scalable, secure, and standards-based wireless sensing for the next wave of IoT – what we call IoT 2.0,” said Michael De Nil, co-founder and CEO at Morse Micro. “Airfide's use of the MM6108 in a real-world application is another great example of Wi-Fi HaLow's potential.”
Airfide Networks' Wi-Fi HaLow Occupancy Sensor will be on display at COMNEXT Japan. For demos or media inquiries, please visit [Booth C12-6(Private 5G)].
