Monarch 2 GMO2S Module

Sequans’ Monarch 2 GMO2S module features a small, cost-effective form factor that requires no external components

Image of Sequans Monarch 2 GMO2S ModuleSequans’ Monarch 2 GM02S LTE Cat M1/NB1/NB2 module is based on the second generation Monarch 2 chip platform. It provides significant improvements in performance and power consumption while providing seamless migration because it is based on Sequans’ existing LTE-M/NB-IoT protocol stack, one of the most mature and proven in the entire LTE ecosystem. Monarch 2 GM02S is the first member of Sequans next generation “S” series module family, featuring a very small yet cost-effective form factor that requires no external components.

Monarch 2 GM02S includes Sequans’ Single-SKU™ RF front end, enabling deployment in any band worldwide, and an integrated EAL5+ secure enclave, enabling secure key storage and crypto applications and integrated SIM (iSIM). A low-power application MCU allows customers to port their own code into the module via a feature rich SDK. The Monarch 2 GM02S utilizes a single rail power supply starting at 2.2 V, which promotes battery and eBOM savings. Sequans designs and owns the chipsets and software used in all its modules, thus ensuring fast time to market and low total cost of ownership for device makers.
