Cellular IoT solutions company Sequans Communications is showcasing a number of new innovations at the Mobile World Congress 2026.

They include its third‑generation low‑power semiconductor platform, featuring two new chips – Monarch 3 and Calliope 3 – that extend its flagship cellular IoT product families. These new solutions give customers using 4G Calliope 2 (LTE Cat 1bis) or Monarch 2 (LTE‑M/NB‑IoT) a smooth, future‑proof evolution path to 5G NR eRedCap, enabling longer device lifecycles and sustained network compatibility.

Monarch 3 integrates 5G NR eRedCap Half Duplex (HD) with 4G fallback, making it ideal for 5G networks operating in HD mode and delivering ultra-low cost with exceptional energy efficiency. The Monarch platform continues to be optimised for applications such as smart metering, healthcare, asset tracking, and low-data-rate industrial devices.

Calliope 3 supports 5G NR eRedCap Full and Half Duplex (FD/HD) and covers both FDD and TDD bands, with 4G fallback. It extends the Calliope family’s track record of reliable, cost-effective solutions for higher-end IoT devices and is described as the ideal choice for fleet management, security systems and 5G networks operating exclusively in FD mode.

Sequans is also highlighting its newest Iris RF transceiver, engineered to deliver high performance, exceptional flexibility, and a high degree of integration for a wide range of software‑defined radio (SDR) applications. Iris enables scalable and efficient architecture for advanced connectivity devices across many markets.

Sequans says it offers a powerful portfolio of licensable technology IP, including advanced RF transceiver and analogue silicon IP, modem and SoC IP and carrier-grade 5G protocol stack – IP offerings that enable semiconductor vendors, device manufacturers and infrastructure providers to accelerate the development of high-performance solutions for 5G and other next-generation wireless connectivity.
