CLOE to be demoed at Mobile World Congress
Americas
Paris, France; Geneva, Switzerland - September 7, 2017 -
Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS), a leading LTE chipmaker,
and STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader
serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications,
today introduced CLOE, a new LTE-connected tracker platform based
on the integration of Sequans and ST technologies. An acronym of
Connecting and Locating Objects Everywhere, CLOE combines the
Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies of two industry leaders into
one comprehensive platform that simplifies the development of
LTE-based IoT tracker devices for the full range of vertical
markets, including logistics, consumer electronics, and
automotive.
Specifically designed and optimized for OEMs and ODMs to add IoT
tracking capability to their product offerings, CLOE integrates
Sequans' Monarch LTE Cat M1/NB1 chip and ST's Teseo III Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) chip for industry-leading
communications and satellite-based tracking performance
"CLOE targets multiple vertical markets with best-in-class
performance for all of the important tracking measures: battery
life, location accuracy, reachability, mobility, and reporting
periodicity," said Antonio Radaelli, Infotainment BU Director,
STMicroelectronics. "'Componentizing' ST's navigation technology
and Sequans' LTE modem technology makes CLOE an ideal platform to
build trackers of all types---anything a developer can think
of."
"The tight integration of ST's latest-generation Teseo chip with
our Monarch LTE chip results in a power-optimized, cost-effective,
all-in-one solution to speed new IoT tracker devices to market in a
very short time," said Danny Kedar, VP of Sequans IoT business
unit. "CLOE delivers ultra reliable LTE connectivity with ultra low
power consumption, and high performance GNSS and accelerometer
performance, including lowest Time To First Fix (TTFF)."
