EZLinkLTE Monarch
NB02S Module
NB-IoT Module Enabling Next-generation 5G Massive IoT
The Monarch NB02S is an LTE Cat NB1/NB2 module based on Sequans’ second generation
Monarch N chip platform. NB02S leverages Sequans’ 15-plus years of experience in 4G and 5G
technologies and incorporates Sequans’ carrier-proven LTE protocol stack and a software suite
that is one of the most mature in the industry. The NB02S is the first member of Sequans next
generation “S” family of modules, featuring a very small yet cost-effective form factor that requires
no external components.
The NB02S inherits Monarch’s already certified NB-IoT stack and delivers the significantly improved
performance and lower power consumption enabled by Sequans’ second generation Monarch
N chip and the new module architecture. NB02S is a total module solution, including a complete,
Single-SKU™ RF front end for deployment in any band worldwide, and an integrated EAL5+ Secure
Element (SE) enabling the integration of the SIM inside the module with zero compromise on
security while lowering cost and reducing complexity. Sequans technology, both hardware and
software, is 100-percent owned by Sequans, ensuring fast time to market and lowest total cost of
ownership for device makers. Highlights • Supports 3GPP LTE Release 14/15 Cat NB1
and NB2 with up to 120.7 kbps DL and
21 kbps UL • Tiny “S” series LGA module
• Single-rail power supply supporting 2.2-5.5 V allows for direct connection to
low-cost batteries • Programmable RF filtering for global band
support in a Single-SKU™ design
(617 MHz to 2.2 GHz) • Supports LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, …
