Sequans Communications (News - Alert) S.A. (NYSE: SQNS), leading provider of chips and modules for 4G and 5G broadband, critical, and massive IoT, has received a multi-million dollar grant from the French government to support technologies the government has determined to be strategic for the national interest. Sequans' proposal was accepted in the ICT and 5G category, aimed at securing national sourcing of strategic technology for critical connected objects in industrial, medical, scientific, and other markets. Sequans will lead a consortium of seven French companies tasked with developing 5G technology solutions for these critical IoT applications. The funding has been made available as part of a nationwide recovery plan to mitigate the economic impact of the global pandemic.
'We are gratified that our proposal was chosen to receive this funding that will strengthen our ability to bring critically important 5G connectivity solutions with advanced capabilities to market as quickly as possible,' said Georges Karam (News - Alert), Sequans CEO. 'This award, together with the funding we have received from private 5G partnerships already in place, will enable us to intensify our efforts on development of the broadband and critical 5G IoT solutions we are currently working on. We are honored to join hands with the excellent companies making up our 5G consortium and we look forward to delivering powerful 5G solutions that will benefit our economy, our industry, and our country.'
The consortium members include Alsatis, a broadband service provider; Amarisoft, a telecom software company; CEA-Leti, France's major technology research institute pioneering micro and nanotechnologies, an aerospace and defense company; AW2S (Serma Group), a specialist in embedded and RF systems and telecom infrastructure equipments provider; SNCF, the French national railway company and its subsidiary ITNOVEM dedicated to digital transition.
SNCF monitors very closely thecurrent development towards a sovereign 5G dedicated to the needs of the company. The CRIIOT project leads by Sequans fits perfectly into this trajectory. 'We are delighted to work with CRIIOT's partners to define, experiment machine to machine solutions and their compatibilities with our industrial constraints coming from our diverse use cases, from predictive maintenance, rail network surveillance to real-time remote operations,' said Sebastien Kaiser, e.SNCF Connectivity and Networks Director.
Antoine Roussel, Alsatis CEO added: 'After a decisive fight to substantially reduce the digital divide, Alsatis now benefits of the tremendous impulse generated by the 5G ecosystem. We intend to put our expertise and our technical infrastructure at the service of French industry's renewed needs and sensitive sectors such as public health. Along with this dynamic, Alsatis contributes to the innovative project CRIIOT and thus helps building a French value chain to meet the specific and professional applications.'
'CEA-Leti is eager to provide its solid expertise on mmWave communications for 5G industrial networks to enable low power and critical 5G IoT solutions and pioneer compact antenna arrays to help the French industry on the road towards the next 5G+ generation in the mmWave spectrum,' said Emmanuel Sabonnadière, CEA-Leti's CEO.
'AW2S/Serma is proud to be an active contributor for this project and to show that 5G ecosystem exists through the different CRIIOT partners in France. Our goal is to provide innovative solutions to address 5G markets and new associated use-cases,' said Nicolas Breant, AW2S COO.

PARIS & BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS) announced an agreement to deliver Sequans’ LTE Cat 1 technology and products to T-Mobile’s (NASDAQ: TMUS) machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) customers. Sequans’ Calliope LTE Cat 1 chipset platform, which uniquely supports VoLTE and enables a wide range of industrial and consumer IoT applications, including asset tracking, alarm systems, telematics devices, retail applications, smart utility meters and more, is now certified and available for use on T-Mobile’s network.
“We are very happy to support T-Mobile’s IoT network strategy as an LTE Cat 1 technology provider,” said Georges Karam, Sequans CEO. “LTE Cat 1 enables 4G solutions to rival 2G/3G in cost while providing much greater longevity. This means T-Mobile’s customers have access to a leading wireless network that is scalable and secure with broad coverage, along with affordable, long-lived connectivity solutions for successful IoT and M2M business models.”
Both companies prepared for the launch of LTE Cat 1 IoT devices on T-Mobile’s network by conducting a successful Cat 1 network and device trial on T-Mobile’s 4G LTE network last year. Sequans was the first chipmaker to launch and commercialize LTE Cat 1 technology, and the Calliope chipset and IoT-ready module are now certified and available for use on T-Mobile’s network.
“Unlike the old guard carriers, T-Mobile’s focus is listening to, and helping solve, wireless customers’ pain points – for our IoT customers that means delivering a future-proof network migration path from 2G to 4G LTE,” said Doug Chartier, senior vice president, IoT, Wholesale and National Retail at T-Mobile. “The Sequans LTE Cat 1 technology, paired with T-Mobile’s fast, nationwide 4G LTE network, helps meet the industry-leading cost and power benefits that our customers demand for the IoT and M2M applications of today and tomorrow.”
