SQN1130 mobile station: a generation ahead

MOBILE WIMAX WAVE 2 READY BASEBAND SOC

Sequans' SQN1130 system-on-chip (SoC) is the industry's lowest power, highest throughput chip solution for WiMAX mobile stations. The SQN1130 is an advanced baseband chip based on the IEEE 802.16e standard, implementing MIMO, hybrid ARQ Category 1-4, plus all MAC and PHY features required for WiMAX Forum™ Wave 2 certification. It is delivered with S3MAX, Sequans' comprehensive and flexible software package.

Highlights

  • Superior receiver sensitivity
  • Full 2X2 MIMO (2Tx / 2Rx)
  • Highest performance maximum likelihood decoder
  • mimoMAX™ patented technology
  • High throughput >30 Mbps
  • Low power < 280mW
  • Supports hybrid ARQ Category 4

Applications

The SQN1130 delivers wireless broadband connectivity for fully mobile WiMAX applications as well as for portable, nomadic, and fixed applications. Its low power consumption enables it to fit into the smallest of mobile devices such as mobile handsets, smartphones, and PDAs. It is also suitable for fixed devices such as desktop modems and residential gateways, and portable devices such as PC cards, ExpressCards, PCI Express MiniCards, USB dongles, and SDIO modules.

Total solution

Sequans' SQN1130 enables the delivery of wireless broadband services directly to the fully mobile end user. It provides manufacturers with a full-fledged, self-contained WiMAX access solution and a solid foundation for the development of high performing, low power-consuming WiMAX mobile and fixed terminals.

Advanced MIMO

SQN1130 implements mimoMAX™, a patent-pending Sequans technology that delivers the highest theoretical performance possible while minimizing power consumption. Learn more

Low power

SQN1130 fits into a small and thin VFBGA package and uses power optimization techniques to deliver an integrated solution that is high performing, yet small in size, low-cost, and low power.

Full-featured MAC layer

SQN1130's extremely efficient MAC implementation is strategically partitioned between hardware and software to maximize available throughput and reduce power consumption. The software runs on an ARM9 processor, providing flexibility, while the MAC hardware acceleration greatly enhances system performance and throughput. Complete support for mobility is provided, including handover, sleep mode, and idle mode.
