Monarch LTE Platform

Narrowband LTE Single Chip Cat M1/NB1 Solution for the Internet of Things Proprietary Dynamic Power Management (DPM) low power technology Monarch LTE platform is a single-chip LTE Cat M1/NB1 solution designed specifi cally Additional low power capability is enabled by Sequans’ for narrowband IoT applications, including sensors, wearables, and other low data, low proprietary Dynamic Power Management (DPM) power M2M and IoT devices. Monarch complies with the ultra-low-power and reduced technology, which adapts chipset sleep and active state complexity feature requirements of the 3GPP release 13 LTE Advanced Pro standard, power consumption based on use case to minimize power defi ning narrowband, low data rate LTE technology for machine-type-communications consumption for all IoT device types, enabling 10-15 year (MTC). Monarch achieves a very high level of integration whereby baseband, RF battery life for some IoT use cases. transceiver, power management, and RAM memory are integrated into a tiny 6.5 x 8.5 mm package, running Sequans’ carrier-proven LTE protocol stack, an OMA lightweight M2M Simple hardware integration (LWM2M) client for over-the-air device management, and a rich set of AT commands. Host IoT devices can access the LTE network through a simple low power serial interface connected to the Monarch chip. And Monarch’s tiny size facilitates Highlights Monarch LTE platform placement and routing of LTE functions into space- Monarch is extremely cost and power-effi cient, either as constrained applications. Only a single power supply • Validated by Verizon a standalone LTE solution or as a basis for LTE modules. voltage is required, and both active and sleep mode Wireless, AT&T Wireless, Deutsche Telekom, KDDI, Monarch has been highly optimized for cost-eff ective LTE power consumption is optimized to enable long battery NTT Docomo, SoftBank, device design, enabling Cat M1/NB1 LTE module cost to life* on very small battery capacity.
