This solution is already operator-certified and shipping inside leading IoT devices. We have become the world’s first LTE chipmaker to develop and deliver a Cat 1 LTE chipset solution. Beginning with Category 1 LTE, already published, and then moving to Category 0, Category M, and Narrowband IoT, which are all planned for near future publication, Sequans is leading the charge on the chipset side. The evolving 3GPP LTE standards reflect this as we see the coming releases with more and more features and refinements specifically addressing the requirements of LTE for the IoT. Today this evolution has brought us to the place where a huge market is rapidly developing, and on the horizon we see 4G LTE inside nearly every object in the world that requires a wide-area wireless connection. At first we addressed the smartphone market like everyone else, but now we have positioned our LTE technology, not for the smartphone world that needs 2G and 3G fallback, but for the much bigger world of The Internet of Things that needs 4G only. Georges Karam: Since the beginning, the vision for Sequans has always been to be a pure-play 4G chip company and enable 4G on all kinds of devices. What is your vision and strategy for Sequans? On December 15, Connected World magazine announced the 2016 IoT Pioneers, awarded to those CEOs who have “demonstrated outstanding leadership, customer service, corporate stewardship, and unwavering technological vision, all of which have guided their companies to new heights.” Georges Karam, Sequans CEO, was interviewed by Connected World magazine’s editor-in-chief, Peggy Smedley, about his achievement.
