LA JOLLA, CA — (Marketwired) — 03/17/16 — , a semiconductor and telecom company, today announced that (NYSE: SQNS), a 4G chipmaker and leading provider of single-mode LTE chipset solutions to wireless device manufacturers worldwide, has licensed the company–s hellaPHY for LTE. Sequans Communications is considering hellaPHY for use in future products.
“We are always exploring techniques to improve performance and power efficiency as we look to meet future 3GPP standards requirements and the needs of a diverse range of IoT applications. Acorn Technologies has developed a collection of IP blocks that are helpful in this regard,” said Bertrand Debray, COO, Sequans.
“Our hellaPHY IP cores will help to enable features such as indoor location services in a power efficient manner for IoT to CAT 15 devices that are compliant with FCC E-911 mandates as well as provide spectral efficiency enhancements that improve network throughput. We–re delighted to be working with Sequans,” said Tom Horgan, CEO, Acorn Technologies.
Acorn–s hellaPHY is a suite of advanced receiver IP cores that make the wireless experience better and significantly improve spectral efficiency. The hellaPHY suite includes unique channel estimation and parameter estimation algorithms that are well suited for LTE advanced features and beyond. These features include accurate OTDOA positioning, eMBMS, CoMP and Massive MIMO. The accuracy these algorithms provide in increasingly challenging operating environments will have benefits well beyond 4G and address critical needs for the upcoming 5G standards.
