Business Wire
LTE chipmaker Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS) announced
an upgrade to its Cassiopeia LTE-Advanced platform, extending the
lower end of its frequency coverage down to 170 MHz from the
previous low of 700 MHz. Now providing support for 170 MHz up to
3.8 GHz, inclusively, the new Cassiopeia enables device designers
to address new regions and operators in the evolving global LTE
landscape. New addressable markets now include LTE networks
operating at 450 MHz and 600 MHz in addition to those at the upper
end, such as the former CBRS bands, now allocated to LTE and
operating at 3.5 GHz.
“The range of operators and regions that can now be addressed
with our powerful Cassiopeia technology has significantly widened,”
said Hugues Waldburger, VP of Sequans Broadband Business Unit. “We
are responding to market demand and making it possible for LTE
device designers to address the 600 MHz LTE spectrum band, recently
allocated by the FCC, and the 450 MHz spectrum band where network
operators are migrating from CDMA to LTE.
“Cassiopeia is one of the most flexible and versatile LTE
platforms in the industry. In addition to its newly extended
frequency coverage, it also delivers high throughput and carrier
aggregation as necessary for broadband CPE or mobile routers, or
other high performance LTE devices.”
Sequans’ Cassiopeia platform is part of the global LTE ecosystem
and has been adopted by a wide range of industry-leading
device-makers to build devices including broadband data devices,
indoor and outdoor customer premises equipment (CPE), mobile
routers, and customized data devices for vertical markets.
Sequans will be present at MWC Shanghai, June 27-29. Sequans’
CEO, Georges Karam, will be speaking at the GSMA Mobile IoT Summit
on June 28. To set up a private meeting, please contact us at
events@sequans.com.
Sequans’ Cassiopeia LTE-Advanced platform is compliant with
3GPP Release 10 specifications. Cassiopeia supports highly flexible
dual-carrier aggregation that allows the combination of any two
carriers of any size up to 20 MHz each, contiguous or
non-contiguous, inter-band or intra-band. Cassiopeia also supports
other Release 10 enhancements such as new MIMO schemes, enhanced
inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC) schemes for
heterogeneous networks (HetNets), and improvements to eMBMS
(evolved multimedia broadcast multicast service) or LTE broadcast.
Cassiopeia features Sequans’ advanced receiver technology for
improved performance. Cassiopeia can support additional optional
features, including envelope tracking and secure boot, at customer
request.
