Sequans and Fujitsu Enter LTE Partnership

Sequans Communications and Fujitsu Semiconductor announced a technology and marketing collaboration that combines Fujitsu Semiconductor's multimode 2G/3G/LTE RF solution with Sequans' newly announced LTE baseband solutions. The Fujitsu Semiconductor RF transceiver supports all major global bands and modes, including LTE bands, and will be pre-integrated and fully validated with Sequans' LTE chips by Sequans.


The Sequans/Fujitsu Semiconductor combined solution features Fujitsu Semiconductor's MB86L12A 2G/3G/LTE RF CMOS transceiver and Sequans' SQN3110 and SQN3120 baseband chips. The MB86L12A supports all 3GPP LTE-FDD and LTE-TDD bands. The SQN3110 is Sequans' new generation 40 nm LTE baseband chip that is 3GPP R9 compliant, supporting category 4 throughput and providing extremely low power consumption in a very small footprint for handsets and the smallest of mobile devices. The SQN3120 adds an integrated applications processor for portable hotspots, hostless USB modems, and CPE devices. http://www.sequans.com
