"Sequans' excellent
performance in fixed WiMAX, its support organization, and its mobile
WiMAX roadmap led us to select Sequans' chipset for our mobile WiMAX
equipment development," said Manish Gupta, Aperto VP of marketing and
alliances. "Their chips offer the features and flexibility we need to
meet the demands of our customers in various markets around the world."
"Aperto is successful in addressing the needs of large carriers in high
growth markets such as India and Russia and they have an excellent
reputation as a leading global WiMAX equipment supplier," said Bernard
Aboussouan, Sequans VP of marketing. "We are pleased to contribute to
their WiMAX system development." Sequans' base station chipset, SQN2110,
is a flexible, high performance baseband solution suitable for macro
base stations. It integrates in a 3-FPGA chipset all MAC and PHY
features required for WiMAX Forum certification and enables WIMAX system
manufacturers to develop powerful, feature-rich base stations with
advanced functionality for managing quality of service, link adaptation,
and handover management. In Q2 2007 Sequans will release SQN2130 for
micro and pico base stations. See Sequans (booth 308) and Aperto (booth
