LTE for IoT chipmaker Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS)
announced that Huawei, the world’s largest telecommunications
equipment manufacturer, has selected Sequans’ Monarch LTE-M/NB-IoT
chip platform to design a new family of modules for M2M and IoT
applications.
“The demand for IoT devices is growing rapidly and bringing new
modules to market based on Sequans’ chip, the first true LTE Cat
M1/NB1 chip to become available, will enable us to aggressively
support our customers,” said Ralph Huang, M2M product director,
Huawei Devices Group. “We chose Sequans’ technology because Sequans
is a leader in LTE for IoT and was able to deliver the level of
power, performance, size, and worldwide interoperability that will
rapidly grow the market.”
Huawei’s LTE-M module family is based on Sequans’ Monarch
platform, the world’s first and most highly-optimized LTE-M (Cat
M1) and NB-IoT (Cat NB1) chip. It is purpose-built for narrowband
IoT applications, including sensors, wearables, and other low data,
low power M2M and IoT devices. Monarch complies with the
ultra-low-power and reduced complexity feature requirements of the
3GPP release 13 LTE Advanced Pro standard, defining
narrowband, low data rate LTE technology for machine type
communications. The chip provides full support for power saving
mode (PSM) and extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) to enable
the long battery life needed by many IoT use cases, and it provides
the enhanced coverage modes defined in the standard that extend
coverage for deep-indoor and remote deployments. Monarch comprises
baseband, RF, power management, and RAM, all integrated into a
single, tiny 6.5 x 8.5 mm package. In addition, the chip supports
advanced features such as programmable RF filtering for global band
support in a single SKU, and proprietary dynamic power management
technology enabling battery life of 10+ years.
“We are excited to be working with Huawei on this new family of
power-efficient, cost-effective LTE for IoT modules, which brings
an important connectivity option to IoT device makers,” said
Georges Karam, Sequans CEO. “Huawei’s commitment and aggressiveness
in supporting the IoT module market is unmatched.”
