Collaboration targets both SQNS
StreamrichLTE and StreamliteLTE technologies
LTE chipmaker Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS) and
Sasken Technologies Limited, a global provider of product
engineering and R&D services to Fortune 500 companies,
announced a collaboration to bring new LTE devices based on
Sequans’ Monarch LTE Cat M1/NB1 and Cassiopeia LTE-A platforms to
several vertical markets. These devices include narrowband LTE for
IoT devices such as wearables, trackers, and sensors, and broadband
LTE devices such as CPE and routers. Sequans and Sasken have been
working together to optimize their technologies to address new
markets with customized features and functionalities.
“Our collaboration with Sequans is based on the development of
3GPP compliant devices but we are adapting our technologies to
extend our market reach,” said Ajit Singh, SVP and Head -
Communications & Devices BU, Sasken. “We are customizing our
Sequans-based solutions to adapt to non-3GPP requirements, such as
to cover non-3GPP frequencies, to extend transmit output power, to
add security, and to improve operation in challenging environments
where additional speed or lower latency is required. Sasken
continues to invest in solutions in the areas of private networks
such as railways, public safety, and satellite communications by
leveraging the knowledge and experience of Sequans platforms built
on 3GPP technologies.”
“Working with Sasken has yielded excellent technology
improvements that enable us to address LTE markets with new
features and functionality,” said Georges Karam, CEO, Sequans. “Our
collaboration extends the reach of our combined LTE solutions to a
full range of devices from broadband to narrowband IoT.”
Several types of CPE devices, with various form factors –
especially around the internal/external antennas subsystem – are
under design and qualification phase to address various challenging
environments. These devices will be deployed in all regions (EMEA,
APAC, NA and LATAM).
