CEO Dr. KARAM :

Dr. Georges Karam, President and CEO of Sequans Communications, was emphatic on the opportunities presented by the emerging data landscape. “For the first time in IoT, we are able to observe the whole, and almost in real time. This is the path I see to increasing profitability: where you can see all the parts making up the whole, and generate data from them, you can be more efficient, create better services, and ultimately generate more revenue.” The technology is now truly here, and available upon relatively straightforward conversion of existing infrastructure; where initiatives a few years ago were limited by technology not designed for IoT solutions, such as 2G, the advent of LTE-M and NB-IoT standards has made low-cost, extended coverage an immediate option.” Operators are alive to the opportunities here: “If you look at where carriers are with implementation, while they’re at different stages, I’m 100% confident that by mid-2018 all carriers worldwide will be offering these solutions.”
