At Mobile World Congress, LTE for IoT chip leader Sequans introduced Monarch 2, which is the second generation of its world-leading LTE-M and NB-IoT chip platform, Monarch.
Monarch 2 is built on three years of Sequans’ exclusive and field-proven experience with first-generation Monarch, which has...
Sequans works with aerospace and defense contractor Lockheed Martin to adapt LTE chips to communicate with satellite systems
Sequans is modifying its LTE chipsets to be able to directly communicate with satellite systems, in a partnership with Lockheed Martin.
Lockheed developed an LTE-to-satellite specification, and Sequans...
Sequans Communications has introduced a new version of its Monarch chip platform, combining LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity. The backward-compatible Monarch 2 chip brings a new secure element, a 60-percent boost in power efficiency, higher levels of integration, and lower costs.
Sequans called it the “most...
SEQUANS | Four new LTE-M / NB-IoT trackers for supply chain, vehicle industries
French chipmaker Sequans is releasing four new IoT trackers for asset and vehicle tracking, among other use cases. The trackers use modules from Shanghai-based Asiatelco, running Sequans’ own Monarch LTE-M and NB-IoT...
French IoT chipmaker Sequans has announced it will embed ‘cloud location over cellular’ (C-LoC) software to its LTE-M and NB-IoT Monarch platform, creating a IoT location solution that does not require GPS/ GNSS, or other radios for positioning. It has worked with C-LoC Polte...

Connecting flying objects has been discussed in documents describing the uses and evolution of LTE networks, both in 4G and in the future 5G. Moreover, a dedicated report entitled: Study On Enhanced Support for Aerial Vehicles, was approved by the 3GPP in March of...
Integrated RF front end and certification from operators like Verizon and AT&T creates powerful development platform
The internet of things (IoT) space is a dynamic market that lends itself to disruption given the relatively low-cost and collaborative development community. To take advantage of the myriad...
Verizon has introduced a new ‘internet of things’ (IoT) programme, ThingSpace Ready, to help IoT module makers to build, certify and manage IoT devices more easily and cheaply. Quectel, Sequans and u-blox have already joined the scheme; cellular design houses Bittium and Mobilogix and...
AT&T has certified Sequans' Monarch IoT chipset, which supports both LTE Category M1 (Cat M) and narrowband IoT in a single device. AT&T customers who deploy modules that use one IoT protocol will be able to convert the devices to the other protocol in...
This white paper explains how Sequans’ Single-SKU technology works through a design technique that eliminates the need for surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters in the radio front-end architecture of an LTE system, thereby enabling a single hardware design to work in any LTE band...

Learn how Sequans leverages LTE connectivity to support vertical applications
The internet of things is a crowded market challenged by proprietary and standardized connectivity, as well as long-term interoperability of devices being connected to global networks. But, as the space crystallizes and continues to grow,...
Almost everyone has heard the projections about billions of connected devices, but we hear less about the billions of dollars (or even millions of dollars) that companies are investing in the internet of things. When companies do invest, they are often looking at use...
LTE-only chipmaker Sequans has announced another key carrier partner. The company said its LTE Category 1 module has been certified for the AT&T network. The module supports AT&T’s LTE bands 2, 4, and 12.
The news marks a milestone for Sequans, which to date has...
Asset tracking is one of the most important use cases for cellular IoT, because following cargo from one place to another requires a network that supports mobility. LTE Category M1 supports mobility at a much lower price point than higher bandwidth cellular technologies, and...
Huawei is one of the driving forces behind narrowband IoT, but the company may also capture a piece of the market for LTE Category M1 solutions. Its newest internet of things module uses Sequans' Monarch chipset, which supports both NB-IoT and Cat M1.
Unlike NB-IoT,...
The intersection of LTE and the internet of things has the potential to be a major market, and no one is more aware of that than Georges Karam. Karam founded chipmaker Sequans Communications in 2003, and for the past several years the company has...
IoT module makers Sierra Wireless and U-Blox have both announced modules that support two different cellular standards for low-power wide area connectivity. Both companies are bringing solutions that support LTE Category M1 (Cat M1) and narrowband IoT (NB-IoT).
LTE Cat M1 uses 1.4 megahertz of...
