Business Wire
Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS) and IoT intelligent
services provider Connected Holdings today announced the
availability of the Arrow M vehicle-tracking unit, designed for the
transportation industry. The Arrow M is powered by Sequans’ Monarch
Platform, the industry’s most highly optimized LTE-M/NB-IoT chip
for IoT applications. Sequans and Connected Holdings have been
collaborating closely on the development, testing, and integration
of Monarch into the new Arrow M, which is now available to trucking
and freight companies across the United States.
“Arrow M is a powerful solution and it is one of the very first
available production-ready transportation tracking solutions with
LTE-M connectivity inside,” said Georges Karam, Sequans CEO.
“Utilizing the ultra-low power consumption of Sequans Monarch LTE-M
solution means Arrow M enabled products do not have to be connected
to power and can be placed anywhere on a container or chassis,
offering new flexibility and freedom to supply chain managers.”
“Sequans’ Monarch technology allows the new Arrow M enabled
product family to run for multiple years on an embedded battery,”
said Eric Collins, Connected Holdings CEO. “Also, Monarch’s support
for a +23 dBm power amplifier, which allows it to reach MCL
(maximum coupling loss) of 164 dB, ensures reliable, cost-effective
service all across the USA, even when the Arrow M enabled solution
is placed deep inside a trailer or container. Sequans is a leader
in LTE for IoT and Monarch provides the technical advantages and
simplicity we wanted in Arrow M.”
Arrow M solutions use an ultra-reliable LTE-enabled sensor
package designed for monitoring and tracking of trailers and
containers, vehicle recovery, trailer management, lot management
and other asset utilization applications. They require no
programming skills to use and come with easy-to-use software for
configuration and reporting. Reports can be created periodically or
in response to events, such as motion, speed, harsh acceleration or
braking, geo-fence violations, temperature, altitude, and much
more.
Arrow M is powered by Sequans’ Monarch Platform, the world’s
most highly optimized LTE-M/NB-IoT chip. The Monarch LTE Platform
provides full support for power saving mode (PSM) and extended
discontinuous reception (eDRX) to enable the long battery life
needed IoT applications. It supports transmit power of 23 dBm and
provides the enhanced coverage needed for deep-indoor and/or remote
deployments. Monarch comprises baseband, RF, power management, and
RAM, all integrated into a single, tiny 6.5 x 8.5 mm package. In
addition, the chip supports advanced features such as programmable
RF filtering for global band support in a Single-SKU™, and
proprietary dynamic power management technology enabling rock
bottom low power consumption of 1 micro amp for battery life of at
least 3 years. Sequans’ Monarch is certified by leading operators
in the USA.
See the Arrow M solution on display this week at Mobile World
Congress Americas, September 12-14, Los Angeles Convention Center,
South Hall, at Sequans’ stand S.3146.
