USB data and power
The USB-A interface connects the radio to a host without adding RF circuitry to the host PCB. Linux integration uses the matching Morse Micro driver and runtime firmware.
HL-01
USB Wi-Fi HaLow with an external SMA antenna connection.
HL-01 is a USB Wi-Fi HaLow adapter for sub-GHz IP networking. It combines a USB 2.0 High-Speed host interface with a standard-polarity SMA antenna connector in a 33.6 × 20.0 × 8.0 mm aluminum enclosure. The USB connection supplies data and power; the external antenna can be positioned independently of the host computer.

Hardware features
External antenna placement
The 50 Ω, standard-polarity SMA female connector accepts an external antenna or coaxial extension. This allows antenna placement to follow the vehicle or installation geometry while the host remains inside its enclosure.
8 mm aluminum enclosure
The case body measures 33.6 × 20.0 × 8.0 mm. Dedicated USB and SMA openings, insulating surrounds and LED light pipes keep the interfaces accessible within the compact package; the connectors extend beyond the case body.

Use cases
- Off-grid point-to-point IP links. Connect Linux computers over a private radio link for IP traffic without internet access, cellular coverage or public network infrastructure.
- Robot-to-operator communications. Carry commands, telemetry and encoded video between mobile robots and operator stations over a local IP network under your control.
- Deployable field networks. Build a local network between field computers and gateways for temporary worksites, emergency operations and remote deployments where existing connectivity is unavailable.
- Industrial network extensions. Link remote equipment and edge gateways to a private site network where laying cable is impractical, keeping data and access within the organization.
- Distributed edge computing. Exchange sensor data, inference results and task updates between field computers and local servers, keeping processing and coordination on site.
