Business Wire
LTE chipmaker Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE:SQNS) announced
that Baicells Technologies, maker of single-mode LTE broadband
wireless access solutions, has selected its Cassiopeia LTE-Advanced
platform for two new CPE (customer premises equipment) devices for
the global market. The new devices, one providing LTE Cat 4
throughput and the other LTE Cat 6 throughput, will be part of the
Baicells Atom product line of indoor and outdoor CPE.
“We tested several Sequans-powered CPE already on the market and
became convinced that Sequans provides the best single-mode
LTE-Advanced chipset solution available, and one that meets our
exacting requirements for Atom-branded products,” said Yongfeng
Zhong, VP, Baicells Technologies. “Sequans’ Cassiopeia platform is
powerful, and its dual-carrier aggregation capabilities are
uniquely flexible, allowing us to design and build CPE with unique
features, including powerful capabilities for streaming and
expansion.”
The LTE-Advanced chip inside the new Baicells CPEs 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.
“We are pleased to provide Cassiopeia technology to Baicells for
these advanced LTE products,” said Hugues Waldburger, VP of
Sequans’ Home and Mobile Router Business Unit. “Baicells has a
unique mission to provide LTE solutions for broadband access with
less expense and more reliability, and with better coverage than
Wi-Fi.”
