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.

Heltec Automation have two 802.11ah Halow WiFi Modules, the HT-HC01 V1 and HT-HC01 V2.

The Alfa Network’s AHPI7292S was claimed to be the world’s first IEEE 802.11ah sub 1 GHz WiFi Raspberry Pi HAT when it was introduced in 2021.

At the time of publishing, one of the easiest ways of prototyping or evaluating a 802.11ah HaLow client without having to spin your own PCB is using the commonly available Wi-Fi HaLow Transceiver for Seeed Studio XIAO (SKU: 109100041).

The Seeed Studio Wio-WM6108 mini-PCIe module is a popular choice for creating a 802.11ah HaLow router.

The Zephyr RTOS has support for USB-C Power Delivery through the software port of the Google ChromeOS Type-C Port Manager.

A couple of weeks ago, we reviewed the Heetech Low Voltage 12 – 85V DC/AC E27 Light Bulb.

This USB-PD (Power Delivery) Charging module is based on the XPM52C 65W USB-PD Multi-protocol Buck Converter.

In off-grid systems, it can make sense to use a low voltage DC light bulb, instead of having the overheads of a DC to AC inverter – in terms of capital cost, quiescent (idle) current, conversion efficiency and risk of electrocution.
