Approved LTE for IoT connectivity solutions
ensure reliability and fast time-to-market for new IoT
devices
Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS), leading provider of
LTE for IoT chips and modules, announced that its Monarch SiP
(system-in-package) and Monarch GM01Q module, have been approved
for use by Japan’s three largest mobile operators. Both devices are
based on Sequans’ Monarch LTE-M/NB-IoT chip. Monarch SiP is
co-designed with Skyworks and integrates the multi-band RF front
end module of Skyworks into a tiny package using conformal
shielding that enables it to meet the size requirements of the
smallest IoT devices. Both Monarch GM01Q and Monarch SiP are
designed to be total solutions for device makers to build IoT
devices with the ultra-low power consumption and enhanced coverage
capabilities that are needed for successful IoT business cases.
According to industry analysts, IoT in Japan is booming and IoT
devices are being deployed in market sectors including metering,
agriculture, transportation, e-payment, surveillance, and digital
signage. Statista Research predicts the value of the Japan IoT
market will reach 1.83 trillion yen by 2024.
“IoT in Japan is a huge market opportunity and we are pleased to
provide the certified Monarch GM01Q module and Monarch SiP as
complete and proven solutions for IoT device makers who can now
launch their products anywhere in Japan with total confidence,”
said Georges Karam, Sequans CEO. “The certification of Monarch SiP
and GM01Q follows the earlier certification of our Monarch chip on
which these modules are based, showing that Monarch has become an
integral part of Japan’s important LTE for IoT ecosystem.”
Sequans’ Monarch GM01Q module comprises Sequans’ Monarch chip
and other elements necessary for a complete LTE modem system. These
include an LTE-optimized transceiver, a complete Single SKU™ RF
front-end to support LTE bands worldwide, and key interfaces, all
in a single compact LGA package (20 x 21 x 1.5 mm) that can
cost-effectively support numerous IoT application types.
Sequans’ Monarch SiP, similar to GM01Q, includes the universal
radio front-end of Skyworks along with specialized packaging,
resulting in the world’s smallest and thinnest LTE connectivity
solution (8.8 x 10.8 x 0.95 mm), designed for
ultra-space-constrained IoT devices, such as healthcare wearables
and personal trackers.
Both Monarch SiP and Monarch GM01Q provide full support for
power saving mode (PSM) and extended discontinuous reception (eDRX)
to enable the long battery life needed by many IoT use cases, and
they provide the enhanced coverage modes necessary to extend
coverage for deep-indoor and remote deployments. Monarch GM01Q and
Monarch SiP feature Sequans’ proprietary Dynamic Power Management
and eco-Paging™ technologies that result in industry-leading, rock
bottom low power consumption of 1 micro amp and eDRX power
consumption in the tens of micro amps.
Monarch SiP and Monarch GM01Q have also received compliance
certifications from Japanese regulatory agencies JATE (Japan
Approvals Institute for Telecommunications Equipment) and TELEC
(Telecom Engineering Center).
In addition to Japan, Monarch GM01Q is certified in USA, Europe,
Australia, and Monarch SiP is certified in USA.
