Huawei has selected Sequans chips for the development of several Mobile WiMAX devices, including USB dongles, modems, and CPE in multiple frequency bands. According to Infonetics, Huawei is today the market share leader in WiMAX equipment, with more than 60 deployments worldwide.  

Sequans’ SQN1200 series chips demonstrate singular performance capabilities.  Based on state-of-the-art 65 nm technology and five years of Sequans’ proven field experience, they deliver the highest level of integration yet achieved in a 10X10 package, resulting in dramatically reduced cost, power consumption, and size. The chips include Sequans’ patented dual transmit uplink technology with closed loop diversity that dramatically improves coverage and throughput.  SQN1200 chips deliver throughput of greater than 40 Mbps with extremely low power consumption of less than 350 mW in active mode with fully loaded traffic.  The integrated RF covers all three global WiMAX bands, 2.3, 2.5, and 3.5 GHz.

“We are pleased to support Huawei with the development of numerous Mobile WiMAX devices,” said Georges Karam, Sequans CEO.  â€œHuawei is building next generation Mobile WiMAX networks all over the world that will serve millions with advanced 4G service.”

Huawei is the one of leading WiMAX equipment maker and a major player in Mobile WiMAX market. and currently offering end-to-end Mobile WiMAX solution, comprising end user devices, base stations, ASN gateways, and network management, authorization, authentication and accounting systems.
