Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS), a leading maker of
5G/4G chips and modules for massive, broadband and critical IoT,
and CoreKinect, a leader in US-based scalable hardware design and
manufacturing, today announced Zenith, a new line of asset trackers

locating capability without traditional GPS technology.
“The new CoreKinect trackers are making it possible for IoT
companies to address many new tracking opportunities that were not
economically feasible before,” said Georges Karam, Sequans CEO.
“Intelligent design combined with CoreKinect cost optimizations and
Monarch’s proven reliability and location technology that removes

CoreKinect Zenith trackers are simple to use and easy to deploy.
Available in two versions, the Zenith Ruggedized Tracker is
designed for industrial applications, and the Zenith Slim Tracker
is designed for applications needing a small form factor. Both
trackers include an accelerometer, temperature sensor, and
Bluetooth Low Energy, and have an IP67 environmental rating.
“Partnering with a world class organization such as Sequans
enables us to deliver game-changing solutions,” said Assar Badri,
CEO, CoreKinect. “By making things simple, we allow our customers
to focus on what’s important to them.”
The CoreKinect Zenith trackers are connected by Sequans’ Monarch

all other elements necessary for a complete LTE modem system. These
include an LTE-optimized transceiver, a complete Single SKU™ RF
front-end to support LTE bands worldwide, and key interfaces, all
in a single compact LGA package. Monarch GM01Q delivers the
industry’s lowest PSM (power saving mode) power consumption at 1
micro amp, enabling ultra long battery life, and features Sequans’
IoT-Findit™ location engine that enables accurate indoor and
outdoor location service without GPS, enabling much lower power
consumption and cost.
