Nationz, Sequans Collaborate on Dual-mode TD-SCDMA/LTE Devices
Sequans PR, 4/18/12
Chinese security and telecommunications chip manufacturer Nationz Technologies (300077.SZ) and Sequans Communications, a Paris-based manufacturer of 4G baseband chips, have established a partnership to develop TD-SCDMA/LTE solutions and products for LTE bands 7, 38, 39 and 40, specifically for the Chinese marketplace. The collaboration will yield multi-band, multi-mode devices of several types, including mobile routers, CPE, and USB dongles. Initial products will become available at around mid-year.
Sequans' LTE semiconductor solutions support global LTE networks, both TDD and FDD, and are delivered with comprehensive software and reference designs for multiple device types for a truly universal solution. Sequans offers two LTE platforms: Mont Blanc, optimized for the design of host-less USB modems, CPE, and mobile routers or hotspots, and Andromeda, optimized for handsets and tablets. Sequans' LTE chips are compact and powerful, delivering category 4 throughput of up to 150 Mbps in a very small 10×10 mm package that includes SDRAM.
Nationz Technologies offers core RFIC transceivers (TRX) for next generation wireless technologies in the 1.2~2.8 GHz frequency range, covering dual-mode LTE/TD-SCDMA technologies. The RF chip solution integrates ADC/DAC and provides convenient digital I/Os for baseband chip connections. The chip shows very competitive performance, typically 1.8% of EVM at TX and 2.5% at RX with the MIMO feature enabled. Nationz provides the RF chip and the total solution including both evaluation boards and RF software drivers.
