Morse Micro ranked No. 15 in Computing, joining the ranks of Google, Nvidia, and more

Morse Micro, the world’s leading Wi-Fi HaLow silicon provider, has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026, ranking No. 15 in the Computing category. The annual list recognizes organizations that are transforming industries and shaping the future through breakthrough innovation.

This recognition highlights Morse Micro’s role in redefining wireless connectivity by extending Wi-Fi beyond its traditional limits, enabling long-range, low-power, and massively scalable networks that are accelerating the next generation of IoT systems.

“Being named to Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list is a powerful validation of the work our team has done to fundamentally rethink what Wi-Fi can achieve,” said Michael De Nil, CEO and co-founder of Morse Micro. “For decades, Wi-Fi has been the world’s most ubiquitous wireless technology, but it wasn’t built for the scale, range, and efficiency required by modern IoT. With Wi-Fi HaLow, we’re changing that, enabling entirely new classes of connected devices and infrastructure that were simply not possible before.”

Over the past 18 months, Morse Micro has delivered a series of industry-defining innovations that are driving the transition from early IoT deployments to what the company describes as IoT 2.0, data-rich, intelligent, and scalable connected systems.

At the center of this progress is the company’s MM8108 Wi-Fi HaLow System-on-Chip (SoC), the most advanced Wi-Fi HaLow silicon available today. The MM8108 delivers data rates of up to 43 Mbps using sub-GHz 256-QAM modulation, while achieving kilometer-scale range and deep signal penetration through walls, concrete, and industrial environments. This combination of performance and efficiency enables thousands of devices to connect to a single access point, dramatically reducing infrastructure requirements and unlocking new deployment models across industrial, commercial, and urban environments.

Building on this silicon innovation, Morse Micro also introduced HaLowLink™ 2, the first globally certified Wi-Fi HaLow router, enabling customers to move from evaluation to large-scale deployment. With support for secure, IP-native networking and compatibility with the broader Wi-Fi ecosystem, HaLowLink 2 allows enterprises, municipalities, and system integrators to deploy long-range wireless networks using familiar architectures—without the complexity of proprietary protocols or dense access point designs.

These innovations are already being adopted across a growing ecosystem of partners and customers spanning smart homes, industrial automation, agriculture, and smart city infrastructure. From enabling perimeter security cameras to operate reliably at the edge of properties, to supporting predictive maintenance across large-scale industrial sites, Wi-Fi HaLow is emerging as a foundational connectivity layer for real-world IoT deployments.

The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year. To determine honorees, Fast Company’s editors and writers evaluate thousands of submissions, identifying companies that are driving progress across industries and around the globe.

“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies is about spotlighting organizations that don’t just adapt to change, they drive it,” said Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “The companies we honor this year are redefining what leadership looks like in 2026, pairing bold ideas with measurable impact and turning breakthrough innovation into real-world value.”

The full list of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies honorees can be found at fastcompany.com and will also appear in the March/April 2026 issue of the magazine. Fast Company will host the Most Innovative Companies Summit and Gala on May 19, 2026, in New York City.
