Sequans Communications S.A. unveiled its third-generation low-power semiconductor solutions, Calliope 3 and Monarch 3, at Mobile World Congress 2025 on March 3, 2025. These new chips are designed to enable a seamless transition from 4G low-speed modem categories to 5G eRedCap.
Calliope 3 adds 5G NR eRedCap to LTE Cat 1bis, offering enhanced data rates and robust connectivity for applications like fleet management and wearables. Monarch 3 integrates 5G NR eRedCap with LTE-M, providing ultra-low power efficiency for cellular LPWA applications such as smart metering and healthcare.
These new chips feature significant improvements in power consumption, integration, and cost efficiency, benefiting from a French 2030 government grant awarded in 2024. Sequans plans to begin providing samples of these advanced chips to customers in 2026.
