Qualcomm

Qualcomm Ventures is a division of the superconductor powerhouse Qualcomm which provides funding and support for a range of entrepreneurial efforts gaining momentum in 5G in other related wireless endeavors.

Qualcomm is embracing the newest generation of wireless as a way to broaden its reach to a more diverse lineup of devices.

Matt Ellis, Verizon’s CFO, recently spoke about how C-band and mmWave would be a part of Verizon’s home Internet offerings, and the wireless giant also maintains that the relationship between Qualcomm and Verizon is as strong as ever.

Tests were held in Grand Island, Nebraska using 28 GHz band spectrum on UScellular’s network. Download speeds were able to average 1 Gbps thanks to Nokia’s AirScale mmWave radio and 5G CPE using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X55 5G Modem-RF System.

The Snapdragon X65 is a flexible chipset which is one of its most intriguing features. Capable of adding Rel-16 features via upgrades as they become available. This allows for a more custom experience and development among 5G segments.

A company living in secrecy, EdgeQ is finally ready to begin sharing with the world what it is about and how it plans to compete in an insanely competitive market.

Already seeing tremendous success with its Snapdragon 480 that is expected to create a much more affordable 5G device option for consumers, this acquisition will take Qualcomm to the next level for providing powerful devices.

Phones cost a hefty amount to create and manufacture, but thanks to innovative companies such as Qualcomm, the price of these electronic devices could soon be a lot cheaper.

Amon has been the most visible executive at the company as of late making appearances at various industry events to represent Qualcomm. There should be no huge changes to the corporate strategy with the transition and everyone should expect an expansion in 5G devices going well beyond phones.

Testing conducted by Ericsson, Qualcomm, and Verizon was capable of hitting download speeds of over 5,000 Mbps.

The test took place in July in a lab located in Beijing using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X60 Modem-RF system and infrastructure from Ericsson. This test could be the first successful one of its kind in TDD 2.5 GHz band.

The Snapdragon 690 processor was released by Qualcomm and with it, a major step towards mid-tier 5G smartphones becoming available was taken.
