Industry-leading AirPrime® EM7455 module
supports LTE-Advanced network connectivity
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW) today announced its
AirPrime® EM7455 embedded module has been selected by Lenovo to
provide fast and reliable LTE-Advanced cellular connectivity in
next-generation notebooks, tablets, and 2-in-1s.
The AirPrime® EM7455 is the industry’s first embedded module to
support LTE-Advanced – the latest 4G LTE standard aimed at
improving network capacity, throughput, and operational efficiency.
Designed for mobile computing and enterprise networking, the EM7455
represents the fourth generation of LTE modules from Sierra
Wireless. The new AirPrime module is based on the Qualcomm®
Snapdragon™ X7 LTE modem, a product of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.,
a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated.
“We have been integrating Sierra Wireless modules into our
mobile products for more than 10 years and have always relied on
the company to deliver leading edge cellular technologies that
improve product performance,” said Luis Hernandez, Vice President
and General Manager, ThinkPad at Lenovo. “We are continually
striving to increase throughput technology to enhance user
capability.”
“As the Internet of Things continues to grow and more devices
are added to cellular networks, the additional capacity and
throughput that LTE-A offers is essential to providing superior
mobile computing and M2M communications,” said Fram Akiki, Senior
Director of Product Management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “We
know this is a priority shared by Sierra Wireless, and we’re
pleased to continue our longstanding collaboration to bring LTE-A
devices to our customers.”
“The new AirPrime EM7455 module allows OEM customers to deploy
solutions for LTE-A networks in North America and Europe with a
single device, making it easy for them to provision and change
mobile networks,” said Dan Schieler, Senior Vice President of OEM
Solutions for Sierra Wireless. “On-board mobile network switching,
which is unique to Sierra Wireless LTE-A modules, can help
customers drive efficiency in their inventory management,
manufacturing, and deployment processes.”
The EM7455 is pre-certified for European and North American
networks, and is commercially available today. As previously
announced, Sierra Wireless will be launching the MC7455 (PCI
Express MiniCard) for North American and European markets, as well
as the EM7430 (PCI Express M.2) and MC7430 (PCI Express MiniCard)
for Asia-Pacific networks, in 2016.
