Looking for Android tablet w/ Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah) or AOSP build that supports it

Hello!

Our company has been building baby monitors for many years, and one of the most requested improvements is greater connection range. With that in mind, we’re starting a new iteration of our monitors. Today, the camera connects to the monitor over a custom 2.4 GHz protocol; we’d like to replace this with Wi-Fi HaLow (IEEE 802.11ah).

On the camera side, configuration looks straightforward. The challenge is on the monitor side: we want the monitor to be an Android tablet acting as the HaLow access point, with multiple camera STAs streaming WebRTC video (720p at 20–30 fps).

I’m trying to find either:

  1. An off-the-shelf Android tablet (industrial OK) that already integrates Wi-Fi HaLow, or

  2. A custom AOSP/BSP known to work with HaLow (cfg80211/nl80211 + hostapd/wpa_supplicant S1G/WPA3-SAE), ideally with Morse Micro (MM6108/MM8108, morse_driver) or Newracom (NRC7292/7394).

Nice-to-haves / constraints

  • SoC: We already ship Unisoc T618 tablets, so reusing that BSP would be great; open to other alternatives if there’s a proven path.

  • Bus: Prefer SDIO, USB is fine if it shortens bring-up.

  • Region: Chile (902–928 MHz; 8 MHz channels preferred). May add EU 863–868 later.

  • Mode: AP on tablet, multiple STAs (cameras).

  • Artifacts: Kernel driver branch/tag, firmware + BCF placement, DT examples, hostapd config, SELinux/init snippets.

If you’ve seen a tablet SKU with HaLow built-in, have ODM/OEM contacts that can integrate it, or can point me to a public/under-NDA AOSP reference, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks!

@josefeliuf Nice to meet you here. Please help to send me an email paul@asiarf.com for more discussion. Thank you.
