Sequans Communications S A 's

The wireless semiconductor business is very competitive. We believe that our competitive strengths will enable us to compete favorably in the 4G and 5G markets. The following are the primary elements on which companies in our industry compete:
functionality, form factor and cost;
product performance, as measured by network throughput, signal reach, latency and power consumption;
software maturity and carrier certification coverage
track record of providing high-volume deployments in the industry; and
systems knowledge helping customers to optimize their products.
We face competition from established semiconductor companies such as Huawei HiSilicon, Mediatek, Qualcomm Incorporated, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Sony Corporation, RDA and Unisoc, as well as smaller actors in the market such as GCT Semiconductor, Nordic Semiconductor and uBlox.
The larger competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater resources and name recognition, and a larger base of existing customers than us. In addition, some of them may provide incentives to customers or offer bundled solutions with complementary products, which could be attractive to some customers, or adopt more aggressive pricing policies to offset what we believe are the performance and cost advantages of our solutions.
