BARCELONA, Spain -- (Business Wire)
TCL Communication Technology Holdings Limited and 4G specialist Sequans
Communications S.A. have executed an agreement whereby the two companies
will collaborate on the development of next-generation 5G wireless
technologies. By joining forces, Sequans and TCL Communication aim to
accelerate the development of 5G, focusing on meeting end-user
expectations and requirements. Both companies will benefit from the
technology and Sequans will receive funding as part of the collaboration.
As a leader in consumer devices design, TCL Communication is in a
position to ensure that the new technology meets all end-user
requirements and enables the emergence of more diversified and smarter
devices. By establishing a joint research and development effort with
Sequans, TCL Communication strengthens its innovation efforts and

Sequans is a leader in 4G chipsets and has been bringing innovative
products and technologies to market since the advent of 4G, made
possible by the scientists on its research and development team.
Sequans’ technology is deployed in 4G networks all over the world and
the company is at the forefront of development of LTE chipsets for M2M
and other connected devices for the Internet of Things. Sequans owns
several patents in 4G and has been contributing to key industry
innovation through its involvement with standardisation bodies such as
the 3GPP for more than a decade.
TCL and Sequans joint research will focus on developing the advanced
technologies that have already been identified by the 3GPP in its early
5G framing exercises, such as the optimal use of new or unlicensed
frequency bands and direct device-to-device communications. This
announcement follows an earlier TCL Communication announcement on its 5G
global effort. (Barcelona, March 4th, 2015)
Georges Guo, TCL Communication President, said, “I am very pleased to
reinforce our global 5G program with Sequans Communications as a key
partner. I believe that our combined team is in a unique position to
contribute significantly to industry innovation in the coming years.”

will play a major role in the future connected society and I have high
expectations for a very productive collaboration with TCL Communication
in bringing these new technologies to reality.”
