4G chipmaker Sequans Communications S.A. has announced the results of a technical trial in which the interference-mitigating capabilities of the company’s AIR (advanced interference rejection) technology were tested. The trial took place in a laboratory environment and was completed in cooperation with Japanese mobile operator Softbank.
According to Sequans Communications, a receiver equipped with AIR delivered performance gains above that of a default receiver when tested across a wide range of interference levels in both high mobility and low mobility scenarios.
“In the low mobility case, we showed that a Sequans AIR receiver can handle about five times as much interference as a non-Sequans AIR receiver, and for the high mobility case, the Sequans AIR receiver can handle about eight times as much interference,” Georges Karam, Sequans CEO, said.
