IoT Company Sequans Communications

Sequans Communications S.A. is a leading developer and supplier of cellular IoT connectivity solutions, providing chips and modules for 5G/4G massive and broadband IoT. We are a fabless designer, developer and supplier of cellular semiconductor solutions for massive, broadband and critical Internet of Things (IoT) markets. We offer a comprehensive set of 5G/4G chips and modules that are fully optimized for non-smartphone devices. Massive IoT refers to applications with lower data transmission needs, but where the technology must be extremely optimized in power consumption and cost to enable massive deployment. It covers applications such as smart mobility and logistics, smart cities, e-health and wellness, and smart homes, to name a few.

For 5G/4G massive IoT applications, Sequans provides a comprehensive product portfolio based on its flagship Monarch LTE-M/NB-IoT and Calliope Cat 1 chip platforms, featuring industry-leading low power consumption, a large set of integrated functionalities, and global deployment capability. For 5G/4G broadband IoT applications, Sequans offers a product portfolio based on its Cassiopeia Cat 4/Cat 6 4G and high-end Taurus 5G chip platforms, optimized for low-cost residential, enterprise, and industrial applications. Founded in 2003, Sequans is based in Paris, France with additional offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Israel, Hong Kong, Singapore, Finland, Taiwan, South Korea, and China.

For broadband and critical IoT applications, the technology is optimized to provide to homes, enterprises and industrial sites, the highest possible throughput and the lowest latency. While this requirement is similar to what smartphone requirements, our solutions focus on providing better trade-off in cost and performance optimized for broadband IoT devices such as enterprise routers and home gateways. Our product portfolio is composed of chips, or integrated circuits (IC), of baseband processors and radio frequency (RF) transceivers, as well as machine-to-machine (M2M) modules that incorporate these chips along with the radio front end subsystem, and rich software that includes advanced modem and signal processing code as well as protocol stack and higher-layer applications.

Our goal is to deliver an advanced set of features with technology optimized to meet the IoT requirements of power, cost and size to enable massive IoT, and the requirements of throughput, cost and latency to enable broadband and critical IoT. And for both, to deliver high reliability with advanced security algorithms at a competitive price.
