Teledatics proudly introduces the HaloMax™ module, designed to push the limits of long-range, power-efficient wireless communication. Ideal for applications such as smart agriculture, industrial control, drone and rover telemetry, and HAM radio, including the AREDN network.
HaloMax™ delivers the maximum legal output power allowed by the FCC, setting a new standard for long-range communication.
In July 2024, Teledatics set a new world record with a 106 km Wi-Fi HaLow™ link between Mount Greylock and Mount Wachusett in Massachusetts. Using the HaloMax™ TD-HALOM 1W module and TE Connectivity antennas, this achievement demonstrates the unmatched range and reliability of our technology.
Read the full story in our whitepaper.
The 802.11ah Wi-Fi protocol supports a large number of clients. Newracom has demonstrated over one thousand HaLow™ clients connected simultaneously to a single access point.
Creating a mobile hotspot with wide coverage over many miles is straightforward with the right components.
See the Teledatics GitHub repository for specific components and instructions:
During a large outdoor event, HaloMax™ Mobile Hotspots can be placed strategically to provide robust Wi-Fi communication across wide areas. This setup ensures participants can stay connected, share information, and use Wi-Fi calling.
Enhanced Connectivity
With the addition of a single Starlink terminal, these mobile hotspots ensure continuous internet access, making them ideal for both planned events and emergency situations.
Teledatics engineers, who are avid amateur radio enthusiasts, are collaborating with AREDN developers to add 900 MHz HaLow™ support to the AREDN amateur radio network.
All of our HaloMax™ daughterboards use open hardware, and their design files are available in our GitHub repo (include link to this^).
Combine the TD-WRLS and TD-WWHS Wi-Fi Hotspot daughterboard for an instant 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi/Bluetooth to HaloMax™ range-extending hotspot. (Note: The range is less than the mobile hotspot described above but significantly wider than 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi/Bluetooth.)
Combine the TD-WRLS and TD-WGPS RTK GPS daughterboard for a long-range GPS location beacon. It features the latest ST Micro TESEO-LIV4FTR GPS chip, providing sub-centimeter-level positioning.
Combine the TD-WRLS and TD-WSEN daughterboard for long-range temperature, humidity, volatile organic compounds, and CO2 level sensing.
Combine the TD-WRLS and TD-WBAT daughterboard to create a long-range, solar-charged LiPo or Li-Ion battery-powered node. Compatible with any 1s Li-Ion or LiPo battery and optional 6V solar panel, available from many suppliers.
Combine the TD-WRLS and TD-WETH daughterboard for a long-range Ethernet extender.

Join our community to share your experiences, get support, and collaborate on future innovations.
We will be performing final assembly, programming, and packaging before sending them to Crowd Supply’s fulfillment partner, Mouser Electronics, who will handle distribution to backers. If you want to know more about Crowd Supply’s fulfillment service, information is located under Ordering, Paying, and Shipping in their guide.
The HaloMax™ modules and m.2 cards are designed and manufactured in the United States, ensuring the highest standards and quality. We work closely with companies producing the main chips and reliable U.S.-based manufacturers.
The accessory boards, all m.2 "Key E" card carriers, will be manufactured overseas using common components and standard PCB materials, providing manufacturing flexibility.
HaloMax™ is based on the groundbreaking Newracom NRC7394 next-gen HaLow™ chip. Teledatics has designed and tested multiple prototypes with Newracom’s engineering team over the last 12 months to finalize our design. While we aim to produce as many products as market demand, due to the popularity of the NRC7394, Teledatics has been allocated a limited number of chips specifically for our 2024 Crowd Supply campaign. This situation is expected to improve in 2025 with increased supply availability.
Support our campaign and join the wireless communication revolution. Back us today and help bring HaloMax™ to life!
