4G chipmaker Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE:SQNS) announced a
partnership with Gemalto to integrate Sequans’ StreamliteLTE™
chipset platforms into a family of wireless communication modules
for the M2M and Internet of Things (IoT) markets. The first of the
new products will be based on Sequans’ award-winning Calliope LTE
platform, the world’s first Cat 1 (10 Mbps) LTE chipset solution
optimized specifically for low power, and lower bandwidth
requirements, typical for many M2M applications. The innovative
modules represent the first step toward true
machine-type-communication and will allow easy addition of LTE
connectivity to devices such as smart meters, alarm systems, asset
trackers, remote monitors, M2M routers, telematics, and more.
Sequans’ Calliope LTE Platform is the world’s first Cat 1 LTE
chipset platform and it is optimized for M2M and IoT devices. It
delivers ultra low power consumption and provides key IoT/M2M
interfaces and support for VoLTE and location based services.
Calliope was recently named an “IoT Innovations” award winner by
Connected World Magazine, and a “Leading Lights 2015” award winner
for “Most Innovative IoT/M2M Strategy,” by Light Reading.
“Sequans is an innovative and focused partner for us to start
deployments of a new generation of technology leading towards true
machine-type-communications,” said Norbert Muhrer, Senior Vice
President M2M, Gemalto. “LTE technology has distinct advantages for
the M2M space, for example, in size and power, and its Calliope
chipset is an ideal starting point for smart, efficient, and
cost-effective LTE M2M modules. Cooperating with Sequans we aim to
deliver higher integration of the module with typical Gemalto
competencies in SIM cards and security for IOT.”
“We have an excellent partner in Gemalto, a company with decades
of experience in M2M and digital security and well respected for
introducing advanced products, services and platforms,” said
Georges Karam, Sequans CEO. “Gemalto’s intelligent product design
and portfolio roadmap combined with its global customer support is
advancing the evolution to LTE for a variety of vertical markets
and helping to expand the IoT.”
The first of the new Sequans-powered Gemalto modules is expected
to certify and ship in the second half of 2015, targeting US
markets with other markets to follow.
