that two of its device manufacturing partners in China, Datang
Mobile and DareGlobal, have been awarded contracts to provide
Sequans-powered TD-LTE end user devices to China Telecom for the

China Telecom customers with internet access at 4G speed. Datang
Mobile is one of China’s leading TDD system and equipment
suppliers, and DareGlobal is a leading provider of broadband mobile
terminals.
“China Telecom is aggressively pursuing its commercial launch in

Datang Mobile, together have won a significant portion of China
Telecom’s contract award for single-mode LTE end user devices, and

China Telecom’s customers.”
“Sequans provides a mature and robust TD-LTE chip,” said Baozhen
Yang, Terminal Device Product Manager, Datang Mobile. “It provided
an excellent basis for our design and has resulted in a
state-of-the-art TD-LTE end user device.”
“Sequans has long experience in China and has been a leader in
developing TD-LTE technology since the beginning,” said Shaojun
Xiong, VP of Sales, and Jianye Rong, VP of Operations, DareGlobal.
“We are pleased to have collaborated with Sequans on this new CPE
for China Telecom.”
The new Datang Mobile and DareGlobal CPEs are based on Sequans’
Mont Blanc LTE Platform. Mont Blanc comprises Sequans’ baseband SOC
with integrated network and application CPU, an LTE-optimized
transceiver, a comprehensive software package, and reference
designs. Mont Blanc is a member of Sequans’ StreamrichLTE family of
products for high performance, feature-rich LTE devices.
