Sumitomo Electric Networks will use Sequans Communications’ Mobile WiMax semiconductor to develop an ultra small CPE. The device will be called the SWiM WS2000/2001 and is targeted towards home security, M2M and automotive markets. It will be used for video, remote controlled cameras, home controllers and tracking devices as well as in-car navigation, remote diagnostics and security for vehicles.
“Sequans’ technology has enabled us to build a state-of-the art solution with very high performance, providing unique value for our particular applications,” said Takashi Suzuki, director, Suminet. “Sequans offers the most advanced and powerful WiMAX chip solutions available today.”
The SWiM WS2000 is an embedded device that measures 2.7 cm-by-4.3cm-by-0.6 cm. The SWiM WS20001 is a standalone module measuring 10.8cm-by-4.0cm-by2.6cm. Both CPEs include an Ethernet PHY and USB interface along with a complete network software suite.
Sequans unveiled its newest generation of 65 nm chips integrating baseband and triple band RF in a single day. The chips deliver the highest level of integration achieved while reducing costs and power consumption. The integrated RF covers all three global WiMax bands and supports TDD and H-FDD.
