Sequans Powers New Ellipsis Jetpack Hotspot for Verizon Wireless
December 29 2014 - 8:20AM
Business Wire
Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE:SQNS) announced that its LTE
chipset is inside the new Verizon Ellipsis™ Jetpack®, an ultra
compact mobile hotspot that allows users to connect up to eight
Wi-Fi devices to the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. The new
Ellipsis Jetpack is an improved version of last year’s model,
delivering higher throughput, longer battery life up to ten hours,
and faster start-up time. It operates on both of Verizon’s LTE
bands, band 4 and band 13, making it compatible with Verizon’s XLTE
service so users can expect faster peak speeds and greater network
capacity in cities coast to coast where XLTE has been rolled
out.
The LTE chip technology inside the Ellipsis Jetpack is Sequans’
Mont Blanc LTE platform that delivers category 4 throughput and
supports other advanced features. Mont Blanc includes baseband with
integrated high performance network and application CPU, an RFIC, a
comprehensive software package, and Sequans AIR™ interference
cancelation technology. Mont Blanc is a member of Sequans’
StreamrichLTE™ family of products for high performance,
feature-rich LTE devices.
“Now that users are conditioned to the high speed of LTE, they
are no longer satisfied reverting to 3G when Wi-Fi is not
available,” said Craig Miller, Sequans VP of marketing.
“Increasingly, device makers are seeing that LTE is all you need in
data devices.”
The Ellipsis Jetpack (MHS800L) is available beginning today at
Verizon Wireless online.
