SQN1010: comprehensive, integrated

WIMAX FORUM CERTIFIED(TM) FIXED WIMAX SUBSCRIBER STATION SOC

The SQN1010 System-on-Chip (SoC) provides system manufacturers with a comprehensive and integrated IEEE 802.16-2004 compliant baseband solution to develop cost-effective WiMAX subscriber stations. Implementing in a single chip all MAC and PHY features required for WiMAX Forum Certified™ subscriber stations, it offers features beyond IEEE 802.16 standard requirements for increased performance. Included with the SQN1010 is a complete software package running on the embedded processor, enabling easy integration into customer designs and reducing time-to-market.

Highlights

  • Highly Integrated baseband SoC
  • Full PHY & MAC layers
  • Key optional WiMAX features
  • Support of high bandwidths
  • Low cost and low power

Advanced PHY layer

Sequans offers unique RF capabilities via a fully digital front end, integrating A/D and D/A converters, operating with any channel width from 1.25 to 28 MHz. The SQN1010 enables superior RF performance through advanced digital signal processing techniques:

  • Robust synchronization algorithms for operation at very low SNR
  • Very low implementation margin
