New low-cost modules for LTE Cat 4 and 6
CBRS OnGo networks now available
Telit (AIM: TCM) announced the availability of two new modules
designed and built to support CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio
Service) networks in the USA. The modules are based on Sequans’
(NYSE: SQNS) Cassiopeia LTE Cat 4/6 chipset technology and are
optimized for the design of devices for private LTE IoT and
broadband applications. The collaboration will benefit both
companies by leveraging Telit’s strong position as a module
supplier and Sequans’ expertise in 5G/4G cellular connectivity.
The Telit LTE Cat 4 LE915A4-P CBRS module, based on the Sequans
Cassiopeia SQN3220SC chipset, is pin-to-pin compatible with the
Sequans CB410L module, and the Telit LTE Cat 6 LE915A6-P, based on
the Sequans Cassiopeia SQN3220 chipset, is compatible with the
Sequans CB610L module. Both are the industry’s first cost-effective
LCC (leadless chip carrier) modules designed from the ground up to
enable easy and massive deployment of IoT devices on private LTE
CBRS networks. The modules can support a wide range of applications
— including industrial IoT and M2M devices, gateways, and broadband
consumer devices — and the very small form factor LCC package
enables easy mounting into small and thin devices or mini-PCI or
M.2 NGFF carriers.
CBRS Module Features
- Available in two versions:
- All-in-one standalone module solutions
- 3GPP Release 10
- Small LCC (leadless chip carrier) package, 32 x 29 mm
- Supports CBRS networks in USA on LTE band 48, and MNO networks
worldwide on LTE bands 42/43
- Includes drivers for all major host operating systems
- Includes comprehensive set of interfaces
“Telit has shown leadership in providing the CBRS market with
solutions to accelerate the deployment of IoT devices on private
LTE CBRS networks and we are excited to collaborate with them on
these two new CBRS module solutions,” said Didier Dutronc, chief
marketing officer, Sequans. “Telit has over 20 years’ experience in
IoT with a reputation for innovation and excellence.”
“Sequans has tremendous experience in 3.5 GHz solutions and the
new modules will be of great interest to our customers building
IoT, M2M, or broadband devices for CBRS networks,” said Manish
Watwani, chief marketing and product officer, Telit. “The modules
share the same proven software architecture as Sequans’ other LTE
modules, ensuring easy integration, a fast time to market, and we
can offer them with assurance of high quality.”
According to ABI Research, “as 2G and 3G networks are shut down
and full capability 5G networks are deployed, 4G LTE will be the
workhorse driving IoT applications,” said Dan Shey, VP and IoT
practice director. “In fact, by 2025, LTE devices will comprise
over 65% of the cellular IoT device install base. Private network
deployments will be yet another market contributing to LTE’s market
dominance over the next decade.”
“Following the recent Priority Access Licenses (PAL) auction, it
is clear that OnGo 4G and 5G solutions in the CBRS band appeal to a
large and diverse set of users, which is driving increased market
demand for OnGo deployments,” said Alan Ewing, executive director,
CBRS Alliance. “As valued CBRS Alliance members, Telit and Sequans
are among the leaders in the industry and we’re excited to see them
partner together to continue to expand the depth of the
ecosystem.”
To learn more about the FCC’s CBRS Priority Access License
auction results and the impact CBRS may have on enterprise markets,
