Sequans Monarch 2 GM02SP Module

Sequans Monarch 2 GM02SP Module is LTE Cat M1/NB1/NB2 and GNSS capable, based on Sequans’ second generation Monarch 2 chip platform. The GM02SP is a pin-to-pin compatible variant of Monarch 2 GM02S, combining a low-power GNSS ideal for Internet of Things tracking. The GM02SP provides significant performance and power consumption advantages and is based on the most mature and field-proven LTE-M/NB-IoT protocol stack.

The Sequans Monarch 2 GM02SP Module includes Sequans’ Single-SKU™ RF front end, enabling deployment in any band worldwide, and an integrated Common Criteria EAL5+ secure enclave, enabling secure key storage and crypto applications and incorporated SIM (iSIM). Added GNSS capability allows for tracking and positioning using various satellite constellations. An open SDK environment will facilitate customers to develop applications into the module with low power consideration. Monarch 2 GM02SP utilizes a single rail power supply starting at 2.2V, unlocking battery and eBOM savings. Sequans designs and owns the chipsets and software used in all its modules, thus ensuring fast time to market and a low total cost of ownership for device makers.
