DENVER and PARIS -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --
4G chipmaker Sequans Communications (NYSE:SQNS) and Ubee Interactive, a leading manufacturer of broadband wireless devices for the global service provider market, announced that Ubee is building new LTE devices based on Sequans' second-generation LTE chip technology. Ubee is building several new Sequans-powered LTE devices, including USB dongles, mobile routers and desktop CPE, first for US LTE operators.
"We chose Sequans' LTE technology because of its efficiency and high performance capabilities," said Charles Kuai, CSO, Ubee Interactive and president, UbeeAirWalk. "We are building our LTE device portfolio, and Sequans' technology enables us to design and deliver the highest performing LTE devices possible."
"The Ubee-Sequans collaboration will bring excellent end user LTE devices to market," said Georges Karam, Sequans CEO. "Ubee is a leading edge designer of 4G mobility solutions with some impressive designs in its portfolio. We are pleased that our technology enables Ubee's hostless design strategy, and we are pleased to work with Ubee to expand their portfolio with these new LTE designs."
Ubee Interactive continues its growth in mobile broadband, expanding into 4G LTE as a complement to its successful 4G WiMAX deployment. First launched in the United States and now going global, Ubee is bringing to market LTE devices in USB, mobile router and residential service form factors. Ubee's industry leading "hostless" software is also part of the Ubee LTE device roadmap, which allows users near instant access to the Internet without the use of a traditional hosted connection manager.
Sequans' second-generation LTE semiconductor solutions support global LTE networks, FDD and/or TDD, and are delivered with comprehensive software and reference designs for multiple device types for a truly universal solution. Sequans offers two LTE platforms: Mont Blanc, optimized for the design of hostless USB modems, CPE, and mobile routers or hotspots, and Andromeda, optimized for handsets and tablets. Sequans' LTE chips are compact and powerful; delivering category 4 throughput up to 150 Mbps in a very small 10x10 mm package that includes SDRAM.
