Has anyone been successful in making a 1 watt of higher power version for Halowlink?
Or if someone willing to make one/ collaborate.
Team Morse, if you are open to making a higher power one, please count me in.
As of today there are no 30dBm (1W) modules available - but I’m sure that gap will be filled soon.
Quectel have a 27dBm (500mW) module available - https://www.quectel.com/product/wi-fi-halow-fgh100m-h/, which has been used on the Seeed Studio miniPCIe cards. This would work on single board computers or products which expose SPI lines on pins 45,47,49,51 of the mini pcie connector. A non-standard pinout, but it does exist.
I’m working on a PCB that should reach 30dBm, but to do this and remain within FCC limits, the board must use closed loop power control. The MM6108 doesn’t really support closed loop power control, so I’m designing an external power monitoring circuit so that the host MCU can control the amount of input power to the PA using an external attenuator. This should more or less control the power on an average basis, but cannot react fast enough to control the power on each packet burst. This circuit will not be low power or low cost and is targeted as an AP.
