Leading LTE for IoT chipmaker Sequans Communications S.A.
(NYSE:SQNS) will demonstrate its LTE Category M1/NB1 (NB-IoT) chip,
named Monarch, at NTT DOCOMO’S R&D Open House, to be held
November 17-18, 2016 at NTT DOCOMO’s R&D Center in Yokosuka,
Japan. At this annual event, NTT DOCOMO presents the latest
advances in technology to its customers and partners. Sequans will
demonstrate the LTE Cat M1 mode of Monarch in live communication
with a Rohde & Schwarz eNodeB (base station) emulator.
“This demonstration is an important step in our evaluation of
new technologies and we do appreciate support from Sequans with
this Monarch platform,” said Toshiyuki Futakata, vice president and
senior manager of NTT DOCOMO’s Communication Device Development
Department, Radio Access Technology Group.
“We are very proud to collaborate with NTT DOCOMO to demonstrate
Cat M1 technology in Japan,” said Georges Karam, Sequans CEO.
“Monarch is the world’s first true LTE Cat M1 chip, meaning it is
optimized in both silicon and software, built from the ground up to
adhere to the new narrowband standards, thus becoming the smallest
in size and lowest in power consumption of any LTE chip available
in the market today. It is not an earlier generation chip modified
with software to simulate the new Cat M1 capabilities. I am very
excited to say that Monarch is operating as designed and we have
made initial shipments for network deployments beginning in
Q4.”
Monarch is the industry’s most highly integrated Cat M1/NB1
(NB-IoT) chip, whereby baseband, RF transceiver, power management,
and RAM memory are integrated into a single, tiny 6.5 x 8.5 mm
package. Monarch is fully compliant with the 3GPP’s Release 13
definitions for narrowband LTE (LTE-M and NB-IoT). In addition,
Monarch supports advanced features such as programmable RF
filtering for global band support in a single SKU, and proprietary
dynamic power management technology for ultra low power consumption
and operating life of 10+ years.
