Sequans Collaborates with Lockheed Martin on LTE over Satellite

Sequans Communications and Lockheed Martin are reportedly working together to develop new 4G LTE for satellite technologies for worldwide deployment. The two companies are working to enable LTE end user devices to connect directly to geostationary satellites in this achievement with wide application. “Sequans has expertise adapting LTE technology for special purposes such as this one,” said Scott Landis, director, Lockheed Martin. “Sequans engineers modified their existing LTE chips to enable a new LTE-to-satellite communication specification developed by Lockheed Martin. LTE to satellite represents an important breakthrough in mobility and connectivity.”
