Sequans, a leading supplier of IoT semiconductors and modules, and Soracom , a global provider of cellular IoT connectivity solutions with comprehensive Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) capabilities, announced an expanded partnership. The collaboration aims to simplify the development of IoT projects by offering evaluation kits enabled by Soracom’s global connectivity.
IoT application developers now have access to Sequans’ industry-leading LTE-M/NB-IoT and Cat 1bis technologies, combined with Soracom’s global connectivity. The evaluation kits are available in two forms:
- LTE-M/NB-IoT (Monarch2 GM02S EVK Evaluation Kit): This second-generation Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) technology has very low power consumption and a compact form factor, making it ideal for applications such as smart meters, industrial sensors, and health and fitness trackers.
- LTE Cat 1bis (Sequans Calliope2 GC02S1 Evaluation Kit): Featuring Sequans’ industry-leading Cat 1bis technology, approved in North America and Europe. The kit can operate on any LTE (Long Term Evolution) network worldwide and is ideal for deployments that require global coverage with cross-border connectivity, such as connected vehicles, logistics tracking systems, and telematics.
