LUXEMBOURG - Sisvel International S.A. (“Sisvel”) today announced that Huawei patents will now be available through its Cellular IoT technology patent pool after the company signed up to the programme as a licensor.

The agreement means that more world class IP has been added to a pool which already includes patents from around 25 renowned innovators.

The Sisvel Cellular IoT patent pool offers device manufacturers licences - on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms and conditions - to participants’ patent portfolios essential to the LTE-M and NB-IoT standards.

“We are excited to welcome Huawei, a major contributor to the development of cellular IoT, as a member,” says Sisvel’s Cellular IoT programme manager, Sven Torringer. “LTE-M and NB-IoT technologies are great solutions for anyone who wishes to connect products and services in the IoT arena, and Huawei’s presence further strengthens the pool’s licence offering as a one-stop shop for this market.”

“I am proud to welcome Huawei to this important pool, which is poised to bring unparalleled efficiencies to both implementers and innovators in IoT markets,” says Sisvel president Mattia Fogliacco. “This is more proof of the work we are doing with cutting-edge companies to power innovation and a further sign of Huawei’s confidence in us, after they became a founding member of our Wi-Fi 6 pool.”
