Sequans adopts Imagination's MIPS Aptiv CPUs for next-gen LTE products

LONDON, UK: Imagination Technologies announced that Sequans Communications S.A. is leveraging its MIPS Aptiv CPUs in the creation of next-generation low-power, cost-effective single-mode LTE solutions targeting a broad range of markets including tablets, M2M, Internet of Things (IoT), wearables and other consumer products.

Sequans' MIPS-based 4G products are already shipping to OEMs globally, and its MIPS-based EZLinkLTE VZ20Q, VZ20M and VZ21M LTE Release 9 Category 4 modules are certified by Verizon. Now, thanks to using Imagination's MIPS interAptiv cores with hardware multi-threading,

Sequans will deliver a new generation of highly-efficient single-mode LTE solutions.

Imagination's MIPS interAptiv CPUs provide leading performance efficiency in their class. Hardware multi-threading technology within the interAptiv cores enables better overall throughput, quality of service (QoS), and power/performance efficiency for a wide range of applications.

Imagination has demonstrated that multi-threaded MIPS CPUs can achieve as much as 45 percent performance improvements compared to single-threaded platforms for LTE and LTE Advanced baseband processing.
