Airfide Networks has announced the availability of the next generation of its AFN6843 micro-mobility occupancy sensor, now enhanced with Wi-Fi HaLow connectivity. The new sensor integrates Morse Micro’s MM6108 Wi-Fi HaLow SoC. This enables 10x better coverage distance than Wi-Fi 4/5/6/7 while maintaining ultra-low power and high reliability for commercial and industrial IoT deployments.
Key features include long-range wireless with sub-GHz Wi-Fi HaLow, enabling whole-building coverage; edge AI detection of occupancy, presence, motion, fall events, and more; non-intrusive sensing using mmWave radar sensor for people counting and angle information; cloud platform for live monitoring and actionable insights; and Android and Apple iOS applications for real-time monitoring and deployment.
Use cases include smart buildings and offices (automate HVAC and lighting, optimize desk usage, monitor occupancy density), healthcare and aged care (fall detection, inactivity alerts, presence monitoring without compromising privacy), retail and public spaces (people counting, dwell time analytics, queue monitoring, and heatmaps), and industrial and logistics (worker tracking in hazardous zones, object detection, zone safety compliance alerts).
