Sequans Communications recently announced that its Cassiopeia CA410 module has received certification from regulatory agencies PTCRB and GCF and has successfully completed field testing with a major electricity provider in California.
The Cassiopeia CA410 module was developed in partnership with Anterix, the largest holder of 900 MHz spectrum in the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. This module supports 900 MHz, CBRS, and public MNO bands in a single solution, allowing utilities to operate private LTE networks while seamlessly connecting to public networks.
This ensures secure, reliable, and continuous service. The field tests demonstrated the module’s capability to transmit on private LTE bands, Anterix band 106 and CBRS band 48, with mobility, reliable handover, and instant failover, without service interruptions.
“The Sequans’ CA410 module is purpose-built for utilities and now it is ready for prime time,” said Steve Ryan, Vice President, Ecosystem and Partnerships, Anterix. “Successful field testing demonstrates the power of the Anterix Active Ecosystem in bringing together industry leading innovators like 4RF, GE Vernova, RAD, and Sequans to develop solutions for utilities that enhance the value of their private wireless broadband network investments.”
“In developing the Cassiopeia CA410 module, we leveraged our years of experience working with USA mobile network operators and utility companies,” said Olivier Pauzet, EVP, Marketing and Strategy, Sequans. “Now fully certified, field tested, and in mass production, the CA410 is ready to take its place as a key component in smart meters, gateways, and routers in utility AMI/DA applications, with the required flexibility, reliability, and security.”
The Cassiopeia CA410 module delivers LTE Cat 4 throughput and is available in two form factors: LCC, a compact surface mount form factor for easy integration into small and thin devices; and M.2, a standard form factor for immediate integration into devices with M.2 sockets.
