MTC

LTE chipmaker Sequans Communications S.A. introduced Monarch, the industry’s first LTE Cat M chip, compliant with the 3GPP Release 13 LTE Advanced Pro standard that defines new narrowband capabilities of LTE for machine-type-communications (LTE MTC).

CEVA, Inc. provider licensor of signal processing IP for smarter, connected devices, introduced The NEW CEVA-X architecture framework, redefining performance and power efficiency for the processing of the control and data planes in baseband applications.

Cellular wireless has evolved from 2G through to 2.5G and on to 3G, but the technology employed in LTE is significantly different to those earlier generation networks and the result is a quantum jump in performance and efficiency.

Telit has introduced the first in a new series of modules based on Altair chipsets, designed to support LTE Category 1 enhancements for Machine-Type Communications (MTC).
