Sequans and Soracom Accelerate Global IoT Development with New Evaluation Kits
Sequans, a leading provider of cellular IoT semiconductors and modules, and Soracom, a global provider of cellular IoT connectivity with full MVNO capabilities, today announced the expansion of their partnership. This collaboration aims to simplify the development of IoT projects by offering evaluation kits (EVKs) powered by Soracom’s global IoT connectivity.
IoT application developers now have access to Sequans’ leading LTE-M/NB-IoT and Cat 1bis technology, combined with Soracom’s global connectivity. The EVKs are available in two variants:
- LTE-M/NB-IoT (Sequans Monarch2 GM02S EVK): This second-generation LPWA technology from Sequans features ultra-low power consumption and a compact form factor, making it ideal for applications such as smart utility meters, industrial sensors, health and fitness trackers, and more.
- LTE Cat 1bis (Sequans Calliope2 GC02S1 EVK): Featuring Sequans’ leading Cat 1bis technology, certified in North America and Europe. It can operate on any LTE network worldwide, ideal for deployments that require global coverage with cross border connectivity, such as connected vehicles, logistics tracking systems, and telematics.
Each kit comes with a Soracom global IoT SIM card preloaded with connectivity for up to 3 months, allowing users to benefit from cellular coverage in +170 territories, including LTE-M coverage in 51 territories and NB-IoT coverage in 35. This also gives them access to the Soracom suite of connectivity solutions, which offers features that can help secure a deployment, transmit data directly to cloud functions, manage IoT devices remotely, and more!
"At Soracom, we are focused on helping developers and enterprises bring their IoT projects to life quickly and efficiently," said Takashi Serizawa, Head of Europe Region at Soracom. "By expanding our collaboration with Sequans and offering these EVKs with Soracom connectivity, we’re removing friction from the development process and enabling our customers to test, iterate, and scale their IoT solutions with ease."
“We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with Soracom and provide developers with the tools they need to launch their IoT solutions quickly and efficiently,” said Olivier Pauzet, Sequans EVP of Marketing and Strategy. “The combination of Sequans’ hardware and Soracom’s connectivity creates an effective and efficient solution that can make scaling an IoT deployment easier by ensuring a smooth transition from the evaluation stage to full deployment.”
These EVKs are available through Sequans’ presence on global distribution channels such as Digikey and Mouser.

(“SES” or the “Company”), today issued the following statement in response to the SES Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) March 14, 2025 announcement. “The satellite industry is evolving rapidly and, as the SES Board’s announcement makes clear, even glacial change at SES requires strong shareholder advocacy. The initial steps the SES Board is taking to modernize its structure are long-overdue and only came following shareholder pressure. However, much more can, and must, be done -- with a greater sense of urgency than is evident from the Board’s incrementalism. “Specifically, adding a director with capital markets experience should be a priority as we believe such an appointment could prompt SES to finally begin addressing its underperforming capital investment practices and return value to shareholders.
