The TXW8301 IEEE 802.11ah Halow SoC from Chinese manufacturer, TaiXin Semiconductor is unique from other Halow semiconductor vendors in that it has a RMII interface for connection to an external Ethernet PHY. This allows the SoC to act as a cost-effective Long Range Halow Wireless Ethernet Bridge. As a result, the TXW8301 is commonly found in many Wireless Network Bridges (WNB) found on platforms like AliExpress and Amazon. The WNB is typically sold as a pair of two identical units. One is configured in Access Point (AP) mode, and the other in Station (STA). As most of the TXW8301 have …

Heltec Automation have two 802.11ah Halow WiFi Modules, the HT-HC01 V1 and HT-HC01 V2. Both are based on the Morse Micro MM6108. Version 1 was only available in the 902 to 928MHz band and operated with a maximum power of 21dBm. Version 2 had two variants supporting 902-928 MHz and 863-870MHz (Europe). The 863-870MHz module was limited to 16dBm and the 902-928 MHz had an upgraded maximum power output of 27dBm. You will note the addition of a small step up converter in the top right corner, providing 5V to the FEM. As there are two different versions, you must …
