Key Benefits of SQN2130
Flexible, Total Solution
The SQN2130 is a highly integrated, MAC and PHY baseband solution. The combination of small size, low-cost, and low-power consumption, provides maximum flexibility to build base stations in various sizes, in TDD or FDD mode, with no compromise in features or functionality. The SQN2130 interfaces with a range of RF solutions from Sequans partners, from low power RFIC solutions for pico base stations, to high power remote RF heads with OBSAI / CPRI interfaces. SQN2130-based base station products are easily integrated into existing deployed networks via standard interfaces to ASN gateways.
Low Cost and Low Power Ideal For Pico Base Stations
The SQN2130’s high level of integration and built-in dynamic power optimization techniques are ideal for base stations with strong constraints on cost, power consumption, and footprint. A low cost host/network processor may be used to run S3MAX™, Sequans’ software package, along with customer applications.
High Throughput Serves Large Number of Users
The SQN2130 can support several thousand subscriber stations and operates at the full line rate, translating to throughput of more than 40 Mbps. In addition to advanced MIMO techniques, the SQN2130 supports hybrid-ARQ up to category 6 to enhance RF link robustness.
Full-featured MAC Layer
Sequans’ extremely efficient MAC implementation is strategically partitioned between hardware accelerators and software to maximize throughput and minimize power consumption. Complete support for mobility is provided, in particular for optimised handover, sleep and idle modes, and uplink/downlink adaptation methods. Additional Sequans features include cell range extension (up to 40 km), flexible uplink/downlink ratios for applications such as video surveillance services, dynamic frequency selection (DFS) for unlicensed frequency bands, and automatic MIMO A/B switch.
