HaloMax sub-1 GHz Wireless Module is designed for Long-Range Wireless Communication

Teledatics has recently launched HaloMax sub-1 GHz Wireless Module, a cutting-edge long-range wireless communication module designed for sub-1 GHz frequency bands. With a funding goal of $50,000 and 10% raised so far, the project aims to transform various fields by providing robust, low-power, long-range connectivity. This module operates in the 902 to 928 MHz frequency range, offers adjustable power output up to 30 dBm (1 Watt), and supports multiple interfaces such as SPI, USB, UART, and I2C interfaces. With its help, you can build smart farms, drones, and even smart cities. It comes with open-source Linux drivers, a standalone SDK, and EVK hardware, making it highly adaptable and easy to integrate into various projects. It also has a low-power mode, consuming only just 3.5 microamps, which is less for energy-sensitive applications.

It’s made in the USA, so you know it’s reliable, and it uses super-little power, so you can use it for a long time without worrying about running out of battery. This is basically a super-tiny computer that can talk to other computers from really far away.

Previously, we have written about some similar wireless modules like the MGM240P Wireless Module, and the Cat. M1/NB Wireless Module, the Giniatech’s XPI-S905X2/X3/X4, and much more. Feel free to check those out if you are interested in the topic.

We have also learned that the TD-HALOC HaloMax m.2 Card offers a next-gen form factor with USB, UART, SPI, and I2C interfaces for flexible integration in both standalone and Linux-based systems. The TD-WRLS High Power m.2 Development Platform supports HaloMax and LoraMax cards, with enhanced connectivity and Raspberry Pi 5 compatibility. The TD-TLM1 HaloMax Drone Telemetry board provides long-range real-time telemetry, ideal for drones and rovers, with customizable firmware. Teledatics also offers open-hardware daughterboards, like the TD-WGPS GPS Daughterboard for precise positioning and the TD-WSEN Remote Sensing Daughterboard for environmental monitoring.

Other options include the TD-WBAT Battery-Powered Node Daughterboard for solar-powered wireless nodes and the TD-WETH Ethernet Extender Daughterboard for long-range Ethernet connectivity. This module also supports the Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network (AREDN) for enhanced communication in emergencies. Teledatics plans to release open-source Linux drivers and documentation on GitHub, allowing developers to easily customize and integrate it into their projects. We can compare Halomax with other Wi-Fi modules to see some comparison protocols.

As far as I understand, HaloMax is a flexible, long-range wireless module with open-source support. It is ideal for developers seeking reliable, low-power communication for applications like drones, agriculture, and emergency networks. Telematics offers the HaloMax Developer Bundle for $419, which includes two development kits, m.2 cards, antennas, and various daughterboards for GPS, Wi-Fi, and remote sensing. However, you can get only the module for $34. For detailed information, it can be found on the company’s official product page.
