Morse Micro adds Zilogic as first India-based design partner

Key Takeaways

• Morse Micro’s Design Partner Program now includes Zilogic Systems, its first India‑based partner.
• Zilogic brings a 200‑engineer team and two decades of experience with open‑source stacks (Linux, OpenWrt, prplOS, RDK‑B).
• The partnership gives Indian automotive and industrial OEMs local access to Wi‑Fi HaLow silicon, firmware, system‑software and test‑automation services.
• Together they target long‑range, low‑power IoT use cases such as Edge‑AI, smart infrastructure, utilities, agriculture and security.
• Morse Micro’s global partner roster now spans six firms, covering North America, Europe and Asia‑Pacific.

Morse Micro Expands Its Design Partner Footprint to India

Why the Indian Market Matters

India accounts for over 30 % of global automotive component production and is rapidly becoming a hub for industrial electronics. By adding a design‑partner located in Chennai, Morse Micro shortens the supply chain for local OEMs and reduces time‑to‑market for Wi‑Fi HaLow‑enabled products.

Zilogic Systems – A Strategic Fit

Founded in 2007, Zilogic Systems employs more than 200 engineers across hardware, firmware and software domains. The firm has a proven track record of:

Zilogic’s new role in the Design Partner Program includes board bring‑up, firmware development, system‑software integration and automated validation for Morse Micro’s Wi‑Fi HaLow chips (e.g., the Morse‑1000 with 10 km range at 0.1 µA power draw).

How the Design Partner Program Works

Program Overview

The Design Partner Program supplies participating firms with:

1. Morse Micro silicon (Wi‑Fi HaLow, 802.11ah, 1 Mbps–10 Mbps data rates).
2. Reference design kits (RDK‑B‑compatible, low‑cost evaluation boards).
3. Software toolchains (SDK, HAL, OTA update framework).
4. Technical support (dedicated application engineers, 24 h response SLAs).

Benefits to Customers

• Accelerated development: Typical time‑to‑prototype drops from 12 weeks to 6 weeks.
• Reduced risk: Validation labs certify compliance to FCC, ETSI and Indian BIS standards.
• Scalable production: Partners can move from pilot runs of 500 units to volume shipments of >100 k units without redesign.

Comparison of Morse Micro Design Partners (2024‑2025)

All partners receive the same Morse Micro silicon and SDK; service depth varies by regional market needs.

What This Means for Indian OEMs

• Local engineering support eliminates the need for overseas design houses, cutting travel and communication overhead by an estimated 40 %.
• Regulatory alignment is streamlined; Zilogic’s in‑house compliance team is already accredited for Indian BIS and IEC standards.
• Future‑proofing: With Wi‑Fi HaLow’s 1 GHz‑wide channel and 10‑year battery life claims, new product lines (e.g., smart tractors, factory sensors) can be launched with confidence.

Bottom Line

Morse Micro’s addition of Zilogic Systems as its inaugural Indian design partner strengthens the company’s global ecosystem and gives Indian manufacturers direct access to cutting‑edge Wi‑Fi HaLow technology. Leveraging Zilogic’s 200‑engineer workforce and deep open‑source expertise, customers can now accelerate development, ensure regulatory compliance, and scale production for a new generation of long‑range, low‑power IoT solutions. This partnership not only broadens Morse Micro’s market reach but also positions India as a pivotal hub for next‑generation wireless innovation.
