First PUI 4G LTE tracker now available for
automotive applications
Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS) and Positioning
Universal (PUI), IoT device maker and platform company, announced a
partnership to bring new IoT and GPS tracking devices to market,
the first of which is an automotive tracker, now available for
customers using US LTE networks. The PUI FJ1000 Series Automotive
LTE Tracker features LTE connectivity and GPS, and is based on
Sequans’ Calliope LTE Cat 1 chipset.
“Tracker devices are the quintessential IoT application and
automotive trackers are in especially high demand,” said Mark
Wells, CEO of Positioning Universal. “We are very pleased to
introduce our new FJ1000 series LTE tracker to the market and to
collaborate with Sequans, the leader in LTE for IoT chips, to make
it happen.”
PUI’s FJ1000 Series LTE Automotive Tracker is a power-efficient
LTE and GPS wireless modem that transmits important GPS data, such
as status information, ignition events, and trip activity via the
always on and everywhere available LTE nationwide network. Trip
locations are provided for up to 5-second locations for precise
route lines, and status information is reported for heartbeats,
boot events, GPS status, acceleration-based events, and more. The
tracker operates on standard automotive 12V and 24V electrical
systems and includes advanced power management and an optional
backup battery system that enables the device to continue active
tracking for up to 36 hours, even when disconnected from power.
“PUI’s new automotive tracker combines essential features for
vehicle telematics and fleet management customers to take full
advantage of GPS and LTE-enabled tracking,” said Georges Karam,
Sequans CEO. “We are very pleased to collaborate with PUI to bring
this valuable new automotive tracker to market.”
PUI is using Sequans VZ120Q and US130Q modules that support LTE
bands 2, 4, 12, and 13 and are based on Sequans Calliope LTE
Platform, an-IoT-optimized chipset solution designed specifically
for LTE Cat 1 applications needing up to 10 Mbps of throughput,
providing great application flexibility for PUI’s automotive
tracker. Calliope comprises baseband and RF, an integrated IoT
applications processor running Sequans’ carrier-proven LTE
protocol stack, an IMS client, and a comprehensive software
package for over-the-air device management and packet
routing.
The new PUI FJ1000 Series LTE Tracker will be on display at
Mobile World Congress Americas, September 12-14, in San Francisco,
in the North Hall, in PUI’s booth N.213 and in Sequans’ booth
N.501. PUI will also be demonstrating its open IoT platform, which
allows customers to develop customized tracker solutions using
PUI’s platforms, tools and capabilities.
