Sequans and Soracom declared their collaboration expansion. Through the provision of evaluation kits (EVKs) fueled by Soracom’s worldwide IoT connectivity, this partnership seeks to streamline the development of IoT projects.
Now, Soracom’s worldwide connectivity and Sequans’ cutting-edge LTE-M/NB-IoT and Cat 1bis technologies are available to IoT application developers.
The EVKs Are Available in Two Variants:
- LTE-M/NB-IoT (Sequans Monarch2 GM02S EVK): This second-generation LPWA technology from Sequans features ultra-low power consumption and a compact form factor, making it ideal for applications such as smart utility meters, industrial sensors, health and fitness trackers, and more.
- LTE Cat 1bis (Sequans Calliope2 GC02S1 EVK): Featuring Sequans’ leading Cat 1bis technology, certified in North America and Europe. It can operate on any LTE network worldwide, ideal for deployments that require global coverage with cross border connectivity, such as connected vehicles, logistics tracking systems, and telematics.
With a Soracom global IoT SIM card preloaded with connection for a maximum of three months, each kit gives users access to cellular service in +170 territories, including 51 for LTE-M and 35 for NB-IoT.
Additionally, they gain access to the Soracom portfolio of connection solutions, which includes tools for remotely managing IoT devices, securing deployments, and sending data straight to cloud functions.
