PARIS, France and CUPERTINO, Calif.

SEQUANS Communications, a leading developer and provider of fixed
and mobile WiMAX silicon and software, announced that it is now
sampling its WiMAX mobile station chips to select customers.
Supporting the recently ratified 802.16e-2005 broadband wireless
access standard, the chip provides equipment makers with a fully
integrated physical layer and media access control (MAC) layer
solution and the lowest power consumption for developing low cost
and high performance WiMAX mobile stations.

"The results of our tests so far exceed our expectations and we are
now confident in releasing the mobile station chip to our key
customers and ODM partners," said Bertrand Debray, Sequans VP of
engineering. "The team executed brilliantly in developing a high
performance chip in record time."

Sequans' SQN1110 system-on-chip (SoC) is a highly integrated, low
power 802.16e-compliant, baseband solution. Its high level of
integration and ultra-low power consumption make it suitable for use
in mobile devices¯handsets, smartphones, PDAs, PC cards, USB dongles—
as well as fixed devices.

Sequans new mobile station chip was designed to include all MAC and
PHY features required to attain WiMAX certification, expected later
this year. The SQN1110 mobile station chips are sampling now along
with evaluation kits for the SQN2110 base station chipsets; general
availability for both is scheduled for September 2006.
