Andes Technology Corporation (TWSE: 6533) today celebrated ten years of collaboration with Sequans Communications, with the latest licensing of Andes’ A25MP and N25F RISC-V CPU intellectual property (IP) cores for Sequans’ next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) chipsets featuring 4G and 5G eRedCap cellular network technologies.

Sequans, a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in France, operates globally with offices around the world. Founded in 2003, the company specializes in wireless 4G and 5G cellular technology for IoT and offers a comprehensive portfolio that includes integrated circuits (IC) of baseband processors and radio frequency (RF) transceivers, modules, software, and protocol stacks. Delivering breakthroughs in wireless connectivity, power efficiency, security, and performance.

Andes Technology, founded in 2005 in Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan, recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. Dedicated exclusively to the development of innovative 32-/64-bit embedded processors, Andes has achieved remarkable growth – including its IPO in 2017 and a nearly sevenfold revenue increase since then. Andes is the global leader of the RISC-V processor IP market share with over 30% according to SHD Group’s market research report in January 2024 and April 2025. Its worldwide customers shipped more than 17-billion Andes-Powered SoCs.

Since adopting Andes’ V3 architecture cores in 2015, Sequans has successfully developed three generations of IoT SoCs, widely recognized for their performance, power efficiency, and commercial success in global markets. The recent transition to RISC-V-based V5 architecture—featuring the A25MP and N25F cores—not only reflects the growing momentum of RISC-V in wireless communications, but also underscores the enduring partnership between Andes and Sequans in delivering advanced connectivity solutions to leading telecom operators and solution providers worldwide.

We are honored to celebrate over a decade of collaboration with Andes Technology, whose unwavering support and continuous innovation in CPU IP have been instrumental to the success of our cellular IoT solutions,” said Dr. Georges Karam, President and CEO of Sequans Communications. “For more than 10 years, Andes has consistently delivered high-quality, power-efficient processor technology that has empowered us to build best-in-class LTE-M, NB-IoT, and 4G/5G NR eRedCap chipsets. Their commitment to enhancing their CPU products through advanced features has enabled us to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market. We deeply value our partnership and look forward to driving continued innovation together.”

“We are proud to have partnered with Sequans Communications for over a decade, supporting their rise as a global leader in cellular IoT with deployments spanning Europe, North America, and Asia,” said Frankwell Lin, Chairman and CEO of Andes Technology. “Sequans’ global presence and leadership in LTE and 5G connectivity reflect their deep commitment to innovation, quality, and scale. Their continued trust in Andes is a strong endorsement of the long-term value and technical excellence we provide. As a trusted RISC-V CPU partner, we are committed to delivering evolving, power-efficient solutions that meet the demands of next-generation IoT worldwide.”
