LTE chipmaker Sequans Communications announced that its
LTE-Advanced chipset platform, Cassiopeia, with dual-carrier
aggregation and category 6 throughput, has been selected by
ZTEWelink for a new high performance CPE for LTE networks operating
on LTE bands 42 and 43, primarily used in regions including
southeast Asia, Latin America, Middle East, and Europe. The
operator-certified ZTEWelink WF830 is a fixed wireless router
qualified for use on ZTE deployed infrastructure and designed to
meet the integrated data, voice and Wi-Fi access needs of
residential, business and enterprise users.
“We chose Sequans technology for the WF830 because of the robust
LTE-Advanced capabilities of the Cassiopeia platform that has been
well-proven in the marketplace,” said Sanqiang Liu, Product General
Manager, ZTEWelink. “Cassiopeia’s carrier aggregation capability is
flexible and robust, allowing for advanced MIMO operation and very
high throughput. Sequans’ support was excellent throughout,
especially during the operator certification process.”
The WF830 consists of an outdoor data CPE unit and an indoor
multiservice gateway unit that supports advanced networking and
WLAN AP functionalities. It enables wide service coverage and
provides high data throughput and networking features to customers
who need easy broadband access along with Wi-Fi connectivity.
“We are pleased to contribute our technology to the new
LTE-Advanced ZTEWelink CPE,” said Craig Miller, Sequans VP of
marketing. “It provides very high LTE performance enabling
integrated access for data, voice, and Internet in one powerful
unit.”
The LTE-Advanced chip inside the ZTEWelink WF830 is Sequans’
Cassiopeia LTE-Advanced platform, compliant with 3GPP Release 10
specifications. Cassiopeia supports highly flexible dual-carrier
aggregation that 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 also 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.
