Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS) announced that
Withings, pioneer of the connected health movement, has selected
Sequans’ Monarch 2 LTE-M/NB-IoT technology as the basis for its
next generation of IoT connected health devices. Withings builds a
wide range of health monitoring devices, including activity
trackers, body weight and cardio monitors, blood pressure monitors,
and advanced sleep analyzers.
“We have selected Monarch 2 as the basis for our next generation
of connected health solutions because we believe that Monarch 2 is
the most advanced cellular LTE-M/NB-IoT connectivity technology
available today,” said Xavier Debreuil, product director, Withings.
“Monarch 2 provides everything we were looking for --- LTE-M
cellular connectivity with unmatched low power consumption,
advanced integrated features, and a very small form factor. We are
especially pleased with Monarch 2’s exceptionally low power
consumption that enables extended battery life even using simple
batteries, which makes these devices easier to manage and
encourages regular usage.”
“Withings’ is dedicated to transforming the relationship between
people and healthcare professionals and we are proud to provide the
connectivity for their truly innovative ehealth devices,” said
Didier Dutronc, EVP and GM, Massive IoT, Sequans. “Monarch 2 was
developed with companies like Withings in mind—companies who are
dedicated to providing powerful IoT services in the most advanced
and efficient way possible.”
Withings is using Sequans’ recently announced Monarch 2 GM02S
module that delivers ultra-low power consumption with a 60 percent
improvement over the already industry-leading low level of
first-generation Monarch. Also, Monarch 2 GM02S is the world’s only
cellular IoT module supporting a certifiable EAL5+ secure enclave
for integrated SIM (ieUICC) capability that is compliant with GSMA
standards. The module also supports a single rail power supply
starting at 2.2 V, the lowest level in the industry, allowing for
better efficiency of the internal power management unit, further
reducing power consumption and lowering battery and BOM cost. For
