Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high
performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and
things, and Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS), maker of the

Specifically, the new solution combines Skyworks’
industry-leading front-ends with Sequans’ advanced Monarch
LTE-M/NB-IoT platform to create an all-in-one design that is
compliant with Release 13/14 of the 3GPP LTE standard. The single
SKU device simplifies the design process, shortens development time
and significantly accelerates the launch of numerous
space-constrained IoT products such as sensors, trackers and
wearables, where the size is extremely important.
“Through our collaboration with Skyworks, we have created one of
the most critical LTE engines for IoT available in the world
today,” said Georges Karam, Sequans CEO. “Our comprehensive and
powerful module incorporates every major component needed to enable
the widespread deployment of LTE devices on any band, in an
extremely small and thin package. This new form factor represents a
truly ground-breaking architecture for a broad range of
applications.”
“Skyworks’ partnership with an industry leader like Sequans
allows us to fully optimize our innovative wireless engines,
advanced packaging and system level expertise for emerging IoT
markets,” said John O’Neill, Skyworks’ vice president of marketing.
“For our worldwide customers, it means smaller and simplified
designs, accelerated carrier certifications and a much faster time
to market.”
The solution has been pre-certified with leading operators
through existing certifications of Sequans’ Monarch platform,
making it the most advanced offering available today.
“This is an exciting product for IoT device designers,
especially for wearable IoT devices in need of compact solutions,”
said Cameron Coursey, vice president of AT&T’s Internet of
Things Solutions. “The Sequans/Skyworks platform brings together
the technologies of two industry leaders to give AT&T’s IoT
customers a total solution for launching their IoT devices on
AT&T’s network as quickly as possible.”
