4G LTE Light Industrial Router Certified by
Verizon Wireless
4G chipmaker Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS) and
NetComm Wireless (ASX: NTC), a leading Machine-to-Machine (M2M)
device developer, introduced today the NetComm Wireless 4G LTE
Light Industrial M2M Router (NWL-25) with LTE powered by Sequans.
The NWL-25 operates on LTE bands 4 and 13 and delivers
industrial-grade M2M capabilities and a wide range of interfaces,
including a serial port, an Ethernet port, three multipurpose
digital and analog ports and a USB 2.0 port. It supports
carrier-grade remote management functionalities including remote
system monitoring, remote diagnostics, remote configuration and
over-the-air firmware updates. The price-competitive NWL-25 is
ideal for M2M applications in numerous market segments such as
automotive, industrial monitoring, manufacturing, retail and
utilities.
“We are pleased to contribute our LTE technology to the NWL-25,”
said Georges Karam, Sequans CEO. “The device provides high-end
capability while being very cost-effective and is therefore
positioned to reach wide acceptance in the M2M market.”
“We chose Sequans for the NWL-25 because Sequans’ chips are
optimized for IoT and M2M applications and offer excellent
price/performance," said David Stewart, CEO and Managing Director,
NetComm Wireless. “Also, Sequans EZLinkLTE module was very easy to
design in, since it comes pre-certified and pre-integrated with
everything included.”
The LTE technology inside the NWL-25 is Sequans’ VZ20Q EZLinkLTE
module, which is certified for use on the Verizon 4G LTE network
and operates on LTE bands 4 and 13. It comprises Sequans’ Cat 4
(150 Mbps) Mont Blanc LTE platform and all other elements necessary
for a complete LTE modem system. These include an LTE-optimized
transceiver, a complete dual-band RF front-end for bands 4 and 13,
key interfaces, LP-DDR SDRAM, embedded boot Flash, and VC-TCXO all
in a single, compact package.
The NWL-25 features easy setup using a built-in WebGUI, which
can be used for plug and play applications requiring simple
connectivity back to a central operations center. It includes a
powerful processor, a significant amount of spare memory and an
open embedded Linux operating system. The NWL-25 has been tested to
withstand the harsh effects of industrial environments and will
work from -30°C (-22° F) to 70°C (158°F). It can withstand shocks
and long-term vibrations and, because it has a dedicated ignition
sensing input, can be used for vehicle applications.
