PARIS, April 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sequans
Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS) announced that Infrafon is using
its Monarch cellular IoT technology to connect its award-winning
Infrafon CC1 Smart Badge, an intelligent name tag introduced
earlier this year at Mobile World Congress. The Infrafon CC1 Smart
Badge is a computerized name tag with smartphone functions that are
fully controlled in the cloud. It can be worn as a wearable on
clothing where it can ensure visual identification of the wearer
through its e-paper display, and can contain a wide variety of
desired information, including personalized credentials,
appointment details, healthcare data, geofencing parameters, NFC
credentials, and more. Sequans' Monarch 2 GM02S LTE-M/NB-IoT module
provides the cellular IoT connectivity that enables the Infrafon
Smart Badge to remain always connected via the highly reliable
LTE-M cellular network.
"The Infrafon Smart Badge is a truly innovative personal
communication system with a multitude of uses, for example, in
healthcare and workplace safety," said Louis Chuang, EVP of Sequans' Massive IoT
Business Unit. "It can perform all of the advanced smartphone
functions you can imagine, but without the need of a smartphone,
making it one of the most interesting IoT connected devices we've
seen this year."
"We selected Sequans' Monarch module to connect our Smart Badge
because it is the most advanced cellular IoT connectivity solution
available today, with unmatched low power consumption, highly
secure iSIM, and proven reliability," said Frieder Hanson, Infrafon founder and CEO. "The
ultra-low power consumption of Monarch allows the Smart Badge to
run for many days without user intervention, making it extremely
simple to use, which was one of our most important design
goals."
The Infrafon CCI is a tiny CC1 smart badge device that weighs
only 50g, close to credit card size, and is equipped with a high
res 600x480 pixel interactive e-paper screen. All familiar
smartphone functions can be managed remotely OTA and centrally by
the operator. The device user can interact with multiple DataView
tasks or can answer questions. Device users have no access to the
device´s functional setup details. This Infrafon design principle
provides stability and efficiency to the operator´s
processes. For more information, visit the Infrafon
CCI web page.
Infrafon is using Sequans' second-generation LTE-M/NB-IoT
module, Monarch 2 GM02S, that delivers ultra-low power consumption
and a very high level of security. Monarch 2 GM02S is the world's
only cellular IoT module supporting an EAL5+ secure enclave for
integrated SIM (ieUICC) capability that is compliant with GSMA
standards. The module also supports a single rail power supply
starting at 2.2 V, the lowest level in the industry, allowing for
better efficiency of the internal power management unit, further
reducing power consumption, and lowering battery and BOM
costs. For full product details, visit Sequans' Monarch 2
GM02S web page.
