(Business News & Technology News, 21 May 2008)

Sequans Communications has won the Best of WiMAX World EMEA 2008 Award for chip design for its SQN2130 Mobile WiMAX base station ASIC. The annual awards program recognizes leaders in the development and deployment of WiMAX technologies. Nominations were open to exhibitors, sponsors and speakers of WiMAX World EMEA Conference and Expo, May 19-21, in Munich, Germany, and selected by a judging panel of experts from the WiMAX community.

Sequans' SQN2130 chip received the chip design award May 20 at a ceremony following the close of the WiMAX World expo floor. Berge Ayvazian, conference co-chair and chief strategy officer for Yankee Group, along with Mike Saxby, group publisher of xchange, presented the awards in six categories.

The SQN2130 is WiMAX Forum Wave 2 ready. Its low cost and low power consumption design supports the manufacture of any size base station—femto, pico, micro, or multi-sector macro—in TDD or FDD duplexing mode with no compromise in feature functionality, even at the low end. The SQN2130 can sustain the full line rate even with small packet sizes, translating to throughput of more than 35Mbps, and can support several thousand subscriber stations. Sequans' SQN2130 disclosed customers include Alvarion, Aperto, Soma Networks, Tecom, Telsima, and WiNetworks.
