Business Wire
LTE chipmaker Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS) and Orion
Labs, a leader in communication technology dedicated to connecting
people and services through the power of voice, today announced
that their strategic partnership to build Orion wearables based on
LTE has resulted in the commercial availability of the first
LTE-enabled Orion smart walkie-talkie, Orion Sync™.
Orion Labs and Sequans have been collaborating over the last 18
months to integrate Sequans’ LTE for IoT chips into Orion’s unique
push-to-talk IoT wearables. The partnership was established to
support Orion Labs’ strategy of developing wearable devices that
can provide voice communications to other devices, people and bots,
without the need to tether to a cell phone. The first Orion Sync
device to become available, and announced today by Orion, is based
on Sequans Calliope LTE Cat 1 technology, with the next devices to
be based on Sequans Monarch LTE-M technology.
“Orion Sync is one of the most exciting new LTE for IoT
wearables available in the market today,” said Georges Karam,
Sequans CEO. “As a smart walkie-talkie, it is in a category all by
itself, with simple, yet extremely useful push-to-talk capabilities
that bring real value to enterprises and small businesses that need
instant access to their team members. Now enabled with
ultra-reliable, everywhere-available LTE, Orion Sync will no doubt
become an indispensable IoT wearable to many enterprises.”
"Our partnership with Sequans, who provides the world’s most
highly optimized LTE for IoT chips, has yielded a powerful and
reliable IoT wearable with unlimited range that will improve the
efficiency and productivity of our customers in many industries,”
said Jesse Robbins, Orion Labs CEO. “We are very excited and proud
to introduce Orion Sync with Sequans inside.”
