Verizon has launched Monarch Go and Monarch GPS, two Verizon-certified LTE-M products ideal for companies looking to fast-track commercial deployments of wireless-IoT connected devices. The Operator is the first carrier in the world to certify these Sequans all-in-one modem components.
The plug-and-play Verizon-certified devices - Monarch Go and Monarch Go-GPS - are based on Sequans Communications’ Monarch GM01Q LTE-M module. Embedded with an optimized LTE antenna and a pre-installed ThingSpace-enabled IoT SIM, the products are certified by Verizon, offering device makers the shortest possible route to market by eliminating the need for additional lengthy design and testing cycles. Monarch Go and Monarch Go-GPS come with optional Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Bluetooth capabilities. Monarch Go can be activated online instantly. All a customer has to do is simply select a ThingSpace IoT connectivity plan and pay via credit card.
The Monarch Go family of devices is now available in the U.S., with global availability planned for later this year.
