Introducing 5G eRedCap to Address Longevity Challenges for IoT
Barcelona, Spain--(Newsfile Corp. - March 3, 2025) - Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS), a pioneer in cellular IoT technology, proudly unveils its third-generation low-power semiconductor solution, which consists of two new advanced chips added to Sequans' flagship Calliope and Monarch IoT product families. By enabling a seamless transition from 4G low-speed modem categories to 5G eRedCap, these chips address the longevity challenges faced by most IoT applications. Additionally, they feature a significant leap in innovation, delivering major enhancements in power consumption, integration, and cost efficiency. The development of these chips benefits from the French 2030 grant awarded to Sequans in 2024 by the French government.
Calliope 3: Building on the success of the leading Calliope 2 Cat 1bis solution, Calliope 3 adds 5G NR eRedCap to LTE Cat 1bis, offering longevity with improved data rates and robust connectivity. This makes the Calliope product line an ideal solution for IoT applications requiring reliable and cost-effective connectivity, including fleet management, wearables, and security devices.
Monarch 3: Completing the best-in-class LTE-M/NB-IoT Monarch 2 solution, Monarch 3 adds 5G NR eRedCap to LTE-M, providing longevity and ultra-low power efficiency for a wide range of cellular LPWA applications. The Monarch product line is designed to meet the growing demand in industries such as smart metering, healthcare, and asset tracking.
Users of Calliope 2 (LTE Cat 1bis) and Monarch 2 (LTE-M/NB-IoT) now have a clear roadmap to manage their transition to 5G NR eRedCap. Calliope 3 and Monarch 3 modules will be footprint and software compatible with Calliope 2 and Monarch 2 modules. Sequans plans to begin providing samples to customers in 2026.

Anthropic Unveils Claude Gov for US Security Clients
Anthropic recently unveiled Claude Gov, a new set of AI models tailored just for U.S. national security agencies. With backing from Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), these models are already in use at top-security clearancesand only those with the right credentials can access them. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with AMZN. Built with direct input from defense and intelligence teams, Claude Gov goes beyond standard Claude models by handling classified materials more smoothly (fewer automatic refusals) and understanding sensitive documents in context. It's also been optimized for critical languages and dialects, plus it can tackle complex cybersecurity data for real-time threat analysis. While Anthropic hasn't shared contract details, winning government business could provide steady revenue and set it apart from bigger AI rivals. If you're following AI stocks or industry moves, keep an eye out for any announcements about new agency deals or feature upgradesespecially since Anthropic just rolled out Opus 4 and Sonnet 4 for coding and advanced reasoning. But there's more on Anthropic's plate: Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) filed a lawsuit in California this week, accusing Anthropic of using Reddit user data to train Claude without a license or permission. Reddit says it tried to negotiate a licensing agreement, but when talks stalled, Anthropic's bots allegedly kept hitting Reddit servers over 100,000 times. This lawsuit raises questions about Anthropic's data practices and could invite closer legal scrutinyno small thing now that it's working on classified government projects. Keep your ears open for how this lawsuit unfolds, because its outcome could impact Anthropic's reputation and future partnerships. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
