The Link Labs Cat-M1 Sensor Suite integrates a certified communications
module and host MCU, and ships with an open source software library and
example projects that enable developers and OEMs to quickly add LTE
Cat-M1 communications capabilities to their applications. As part of
Release 13 of the global 3GPP standard, LTE Cat-M1 offers users the
coverage, scalability, and security of LTE, and the low-power of LPWA
networks.
“Link Labs is proud to launch the first carrier-certified LTE Cat-M1
sensor device on the Verizon network, which will be the largest LTE
Cat-M1 network in the US once fully deployed across the United States,
scheduled for end of Q1 2017,” said Link Labs CEO, Bob Proctor. “Verizon
and Sequans are truly at the forefront of the Internet of Things, and
have been incredible collaborators across all aspects of the business.
The ability to launch a battery-powered IoT application wherever there
is Verizon LTE coverage is truly game changing for our customers.”
Additionally, the Link Labs Sensor Suite will offer an open source
hardware and software platform to ease demonstration of the most common
IoT applications, accelerate solution development, and lower costs for
manufacturers and solution providers. The Sensor Suite has been
optimized for low-power applications, and leverages Link Labs’ extensive
experience designing IoT devices. With the LTE Cat-M1 Sensor Suite,
customers can pilot LTE Cat-M1-based solutions in under a day, instead
of the months traditionally needed to build new connected devices.
“LTE Cat M1 technology addresses the battery life, coverage, security,
and cost challenges posed by many IoT use cases and we expect it will be
a game changer for the industry. We are pleased to see Link Labs, is
using Sequans Monarch Cat M1 chipset, the world’s first commercially
available Cat M1 chip, to bring a cost-effective solution to market that
will demonstrate just how profoundly disruptive this new technology is,”
said Chris Schmidt, Executive Director Device Technology at Verizon.
“Link Labs is a true innovator in IoT, and was quick to recognize the
importance of having a fully-optimized, purpose-built LTE Cat M1 chip
for its sensor ecosystem, a use case for which LTE Cat M1 technology is
ideally suited. We are excited to partner with them,” said Georges
Karam, Sequans’s CEO. “LTE Cat M1 technology is vital to the success of
LTE for the IoT market and the new Sequans-powered Link Labs Sensor
Suite will signal the arrival of a new wave of innovative IoT devices.”
