SQN1130 Reference Design

ExpressCard34 reference design

The SQN1130-EXC is a complete ExpressCard34 reference design, with a removable case and integrated antennas. It is based on the SQN1130 baseband SOC and the SQN1140 RFIC, and covers the 2.5-2.7 GHz band. The design is fully qualified with extensive testing showing significant performance gains over minimum WiMAX requirements.

The SQN1130-EXC connects to the PC in the ExpressCard slot, using the USB interface. Complete host drivers, as well as a connection manager, are provided to OEMs/ODMs for various operating systems (Windows XP, Vista, Linux, MAC OS). In addition, a complete IEEE 802.16e software stack is provided including authentication, and provisioning.

The SQN1130-EXC is delivered together with a docking board, so that it can also be used as an engineering platform, with a number of connectors available for integration.

MiniCard reference design

The SQN1130-MC is a complete PCIe MiniCard reference design. It is based on the SQN1130 SOC and the SQN1140 RFIC and covers the 2.5-2.7 GHz band. The design is fully qualified with extensive testing showing significant performance gains over minimum WiMAX requirements. Like the SQN1130-EXC, the SQN1130-MC uses the USB interface to connect to the PC, and a complete IEEE 802.16e software stack is provided on the host (drivers, connection manager, authentication, provisioning).

Full design files are provided to Sequans’ customers, so that this design can be turned very rapidly in various form factors by OEMs and ODMs.
