VANCOUVER, British Columbia, October 31, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, today sent a cease-and-desist letter to Renesas Electronics Corporation of Tokyo, Japan, demanding that it immediately stop making false accusations about Quectel and its IoT modules and renounce a September 2023 PowerPoint presentation titled "Attacking Quectel Sockets" that Renesas sent to Quectel customers.

"It has recently come to our attention that a number of competitors are propagating false and defamatory rumors and distributing material containing false and defamatory statements to Quectel’s customers and potential customers," said Norbert Muhrer, President and Chief Sales Officer of Quectel.
