First Nextbook LTE Tablets from E FUN Available
Now Nationwide
Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS) announced today that
two new Nextbook tablets, built by E FUN, have Sequans’ LTE chipset
inside. The two new touchscreen tablets, Nextbook Ares 8L and
Nextbook Ares 10L, are designed and certified to operate on the
Verizon Wireless LTE network. The tablets are the newest in E FUN’s
successful Nextbook product line and they are now available from
the world’s largest retailer.
“The E FUN Nextbook tablets are excellent devices with powerful
capabilities and yet affordable for the mass market,” said Georges
Karam, Sequans CEO. “I believe the smart combination of attractive
tablet functionality, the built-in, always-connected power of
Verizon’s 4G LTE network, and excellent affordability will give
them immediate consumer acceptance and we are very pleased to see
them made available everywhere in the U.S. by the world’s largest
retailer.”
The Sequans technology inside the Nextbook tablets is the VZ20M
EZLinkLTE™ module, which is certified compliant with Verizon
Wireless Open Network specifications and operates on LTE bands 4
and 13. VZ20M is an M.2 module based on Sequans’ Mont Blanc LTE
platform. Mont Blanc is a single-mode LTE chipset platform
optimized for the design of high-speed LTE devices. It delivers
category 4 throughput of up to 150 Mbps and supports eMBMS (LTE
broadcast) and other advanced features. The chip features dual-CPUs
allowing all software to reside in the module thus enabling
complete module certification and easy interface with any tablet
application processor. VZ20M comes pre-tested, pre-integrated, and
pre-certified, and supports all major operating systems.
“We chose Sequans’ proven LTE chipset technology for these new
Nextbook tablets because of their cost, performance, and feature
functionality,” said Jason Liszewski, managing director and vice
president of sales at E FUN. “The pre-certified, all-in-one
capability of the VZ20M module enabled us to bring our first LTE
tablets quickly to market.”
The Nextbook Ares tablets from E FUN allow users to go online
anywhere, anytime with Verizon’s super fast 4G LTE network. The
Nextbook Ares 8L and Nextbook Ares 10L tablets feature Android 5.0
Lollipop, a 1280x800 IPS screen, Intel Atom Quad-Core processor,
1GB system memory, 16GB storage memory, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi, front
and rear cameras, microSD card slot, and more. The Ares 10L 2-in-1
tablet comes complete with a magnetic detachable keyboard with two
standard USB ports.
