  • Siemens will use SQN1130 chips to build WiMAX residential modems and gateways being developed by its Home and Office Communications Device division.

    WiMAX semiconductor solutions provider Sequans Communications introduced the chip recently.

    SQN1130 is WiMAX's third generation chip in the market and includes MAC and PHY features required by 802. 16e. It consumes 280 mw.of power in active mode and delivers throughput of over 30Mbps.

    Sequans said that with SQN1130 it has lowered power consumption by an additional 20 percent as compared to its WiMAX Wave 1 chip. Sequans in a statement said that wave 2 WiMAX profile includes full 2X2 MIMO.

    "The performance of the SQN1130 clearly shows that WiMAX in every mobile device is a present possibility," said Bernard Aboussouan, Sequans VP, marketing and business development.

    SQN1130 is RF-independent and tightly integrated with leading RF solutions, providing equipment manufacturers the ability to address opportunities in any frequency band.

    "The high throughput and low power consumption makes it suitable for even the smallest of mobile devices and shows that WiMAX can be the powerful alternative to 3G that it has been envisioned to be," Aboussouan added.
