The Ultimate RF Transceiver for SDR applications

Sequans Iris is a state-of-the-art family of RF Integrated Transceivers designed for Software Defined Radio (SDR) applications. Engineered for mission-critical use in defense, aerospace, drones, V2X, routers, and other advanced 5G systems, Iris redefines the benchmarks for RF performance, flexibility, and reliability.

The Iris product line stems from Sequans’ strategic acquisition of ACP in early 2025. ACP, a recognized pioneer in RF semiconductor innovation, has shipped millions of transceivers powering cutting-edge applications such as 5G small cells, drones, and V2X systems.
