Sequans Ships its Millionth WiMAX Chip

Sequans Communications says that it has shipped its one millionth WiMAX chip. Sequans was founded in 2003 and over the years since has brought nine WiMAX chips to market, including chips for base stations and subscriber stations for both fixed and Mobile WiMAX, and two RFICs. Sequans newest generation of chips, its 65nm series of baseband and triple band RF single die solutions, introduced early this year, features the highest level of integration yet achieved in the WiMAX industry.

“This achievement represents a milestone for us and also for the WiMAX industry,” said Georges Karam, Sequans CEO. “In spite of the global recession, WiMAX is growing steadily and is now firmly established worldwide as a key technology delivering broadband service to many in both developed and emerging markets.”

Sequans chips are powering WiMAX networks in India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Russia, Korea, and the USA.
