Luxembourg, 5 March 2026 – Quectel, the world's leading provider of end-to-end global IoT solutions, has agreed a deal that will allow its customers to secure streamlined access to the standard essential patents (SEPs) underpinning LTE-M and NB-IoT technology offered through the Sisvel Cellular IoT patent pool.

Under the terms of the deal, IoT device makers that source modules from the Shanghai-based company can obtain a one-stop licence to SEPs owned by the 37 world class innovators which participate in the Sisvel pool. Such a licence, covering their end-products, will deliver significant peace of mind to businesses by reducing legal risk, so freeing them up to focus on growing their operations.

Quectel’s customers range from SMEs to multinationals and operate across the full range of IoT verticals including agriculture, healthcare, point of sales, smart cities and smart meters.

“This deal is a major step forward for the Sisvel Cellular IoT pool and we thank Quectel for the leadership it has shown in taking the decision to work with us,” says programme manager Sven Törringer. “By addressing a critical need in the IoT ecosystem, the agreement will deliver significant benefits to Quectel’s customers around the world, while also ensuring the R&D investments the pool’s patent owners have made are fairly rewarded. This win-win will power innovation in the IoT sector – to everyone’s benefit.”
