Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS) announced that KDDI,
one of Japan’s largest mobile operators, has certified Sequans’ LTE
Cat 1 Calliope chipset and it is now approved to operate in devices
on KDDI’s LTE network. LTE Cat 1 technology is the underlying
infrastructure for M2M devices and Sequans’ Calliope LTE Platform
is one of the most mature LTE Cat 1 solutions in the market
today.
“There is tremendous momentum developing around IoT in Japan and
having Sequans’ LTE Cat 1 chipset now approved for KDDI’s network
enables us to extend the reach of our LTE network,” said Hiroshi
Tsuji, General Manager of Product & Device Technology
Department, KDDI.
“Our Calliope LTE Cat 1 platform is an answer to the rapidly
growing demand for LTE IoT chip solutions in Japan and now that
it’s certified, it will shorten the time to market for many new
devices,” said Georges Karam, Sequans’ CEO. “We are committed to
accelerating the development of LTE for IoT in Japan and we, along
with our module partners, intend to fully support KDDI in this
initiative.
“While LTE Cat 1 technology is available today, we expect LTE
Cat M1 and NB1 technologies to follow in Japan and widen the range
of applications addressable by LTE even further. LTE Cat 1 supports
several types of M2M and IoT applications such as alarm systems and
vehicle telematics, paving the way for narrowband LTE-M and NB-IoT
applications such as asset trackers and sensors.”
Calliope is a member of Sequans’ StreamliteLTE family of
products for the Internet of Things. Among Calliope’s key features
are Cat 1 throughput up to 10 Mbps, low power consumption for long
battery life, support for VoLTE, and a compact form factor.
Calliope is also certified on US LTE networks.
