EZLinkLTE Monarch NB02S Module
NB-IoT Module Enabling Next-generation 5G Massive IoT The Monarch NB02S is an LTE Cat NB1/NB2 module based on Sequans’ second generation Monarch N chip platform. NB02S leverages Sequans’ 15-plus years of experience in 4G and 5G technologies and incorporates Sequans’ carrier-proven LTE protocol stack and a software suite that is one of the most mature in the industry. The NB02S is the first member of Sequans next generation “S” family of modules, featuring a very small yet cost-effective form factor that requires no external components. The NB02S inherits Monarch’s already certified NB-IoT stack and delivers the significantly improved performance and lower power consumption enabled by Sequans’ second generation Monarch N chip and the new module architecture. NB02S is a total module solution, including a complete, Single-SKU™ RF front end for deployment in any band worldwide, and an integrated EAL5+ Secure Element (SE) enabling the integration of the SIM inside the module with zero compromise on security while lowering cost and reducing complexity. Sequans technology, both hardware and software, is 100-percent owned by Sequans, ensuring fast time to market and lowest total cost of ownership for device makers.
Monarch N LTE Platform Integrated Security and iSIM Highlights
At the heart of NB02S is Monarch N, Sequans’ The secure element in Monarch N is Common • Supports 3GPP LTE Release 14/15 Cat NB1 second generation LTE Cat NB1/NB2 platform. Criteria EAL5+ certifiable and enables the iSIM and NB2 with up to 120.7 kbps DL and The new generation Monarch technology function to operate within the module with no 21 kbps UL improves on the size, cost, and power additional components, reducing operational • Tiny “S” series LGA module consumption of first-generation Monarch and complexity and cost for customers. The security • Single-rail power supply supporting includes new, powerful features such as an grade of the NB02S is the highest in the cellular 2.2-5.5 V allows for direct connection to EAL5+ Secure Element, usable as an iSIM, industry, enabling government-grade security low-cost batteries and a low-power MCU that is fully available for and allowing the provisioning of MNO or MVNO • Programmable RF filtering for global band running customer applications.
