Business Wire
LTE chipmaker Sequans Communications announced that its
LTE-Advanced chipset platform, Cassiopeia, with dual-carrier
aggregation and category 6 throughput capabilities, has been
adopted for use in a new CPE launching on the network of Linkem,
the leading provider of wireless broadband services in Italy. The
new CPE supports multiple TDD and FDD bands, and inter-band and
intra-band carrier aggregation.
“The carrier aggregation capability and advanced receiver
performance of Sequans’ Cassiopeia platform meets a market need for
us and allows us to efficiently use our spectrum to serve many
customers with high capacity all across Italy,” said Rino Buccio,
Linkem CTO.
The CPE is manufactured by one of Taiwan’s largest ODMs. It
supports 3GPP Release 10 features, including category 6 throughput
and carrier aggregation. It features dual high gain antennas for
MIMO combined with powerful RF circuit design, highly integrated
software, VoIP, router, and smart industrial design. It also
supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and ac combined with indoor unit
(IDU).
“We are pleased to contribute our technology to this powerful
LTE-Advanced CPE for Linkem’s customers,” said Georges Karam,
Sequans CEO. “It provides very high LTE performance for many new
services, starting with high speed internet access and including
other advanced services such as HD video on demand and online
gaming,” said Georges Karam, Sequans CEO.
Cassiopeia supports highly flexible dual carrier aggregation up
to 40 MHz total bandwidth. In 30 MHz FDD, combining two channels,
10 MHz plus 20 MHz, one of the most common configurations,
Cassiopeia can deliver maximum theoretical category 6 LTE
throughput of up to 225 Mbps, at unprecedented price/performance
levels.
Cassiopeia’s carrier aggregation capability allows the
combination of any two carriers of any size up to 20 MHz each,
contiguous or non-contiguous, inter-band or intra-band. Cassiopeia
supports other Release 10 enhancements such as new MIMO schemes,
enhanced inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC) schemes for
heterogeneous networks (HetNets), and improvements to eMBMS
(evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service) or LTE Broadcast.
Cassiopeia features Sequans’ advanced receiver technology for
improved performance. Cassiopeia can support additional optional
features including envelope tracking and secure boot at customer
request.
The Cassiopeia LTE-Advanced Platform comprises baseband and RF
chips, a field-proven dual carrier aggregation LTE-A protocol
stack, and a comprehensive software package. Cassiopeia is a member
of Sequans’ StreamrichLTE product family for high performance,
feature-rich LTE devices.
