LTE for IoT chipmaker Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS)
today announced that its Calliope LTE Cat 1 Platform is powering
Geotab’s new GO8Ⓡ device, an open-platform telematics solution for
fleet management unveiled this week at Mobile World Congress. The
GO8 delivers a comprehensive set of telematics features including
GPS, g-force monitoring, accurate engine diagnostics, accident
detection and notification, near real-time vehicle data, fast GPS
acquisition time, auto-calibrating accelerometer performance, and
end-to-end security.
“The new LTE-enabled GO8 is an amazingly useful telematics
device with a wide array of valuable features, now made even more
valuable with the addition of LTE connectivity,” said Georges
Karam, Sequans CEO. “LTE technology is the ideal connectivity
solution for the GO8 which transmits detailed information such as
engine diagnostics, vehicle alerts, and accident data. Geotab’s GO8
device is a powerful tool for fleet managers who need
second-by-second data accuracy and location information, and we are
very proud to see our Calliope LTE Cat 1 technology inside.”
“Our work with Sequans has enabled us to introduce the next
generation of our telematics solution with the launch of the Geotab
GO8,” said Neil Cawse (@ncawse), CEO, Geotab. “Having Sequans LTE
Cat 1 technology in the GO8 gives our customers advanced
connectivity and a cost-effective fleet management solution that
will be used well into the next decade.”
The Geotab GO8 device is LTE-enabled by Sequans’ Calliope LTE
Platform, an-IoT-optimized chipset solution designed specifically
for LTE Cat 1 applications needing up to 10 Mbps of throughput, an
ideal speed for Geotab’s fleet tracking and telematics application.
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 Geotab GO8 is now certified for use on LTE and will be on
display in Sequans’ booth at Mobile World Congress Americas,
September 12-14, North Hall, N.501.
