Sequans Communications Monarch 2 GM02S LTE-M/NB-IoT

The first module based on our second generation, 5G-ready, Monarch 2 platform, the industry’s most advanced global multi-mode LTE-M/NB-IoT chip with lowest industry leading power consumption of 1µA. The new Monarch 2 GM02S with a form factor of 16.3x17 mm features 23 dBm transmit power and a very high level of integration, stripping out complexity and cost. Monarch 2 GM02S also delivers ultra-low power consumption.
