Qualcomm has officially revealed what they have been cooking for 2025 and beyond in terms of mobile processing and connectivity.
The first big thing is the X85 5G Modem-RF which is 8th-gen 5G modem-to-antenna solution and 4th-gen AI-powered 5G platform capable of pushing download speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps while supporting both sub-6 GHz and mmWave frequencies for seamless connectivity in streaming, downloads, and gaming.
It also comes with a better Qualcomm 5G AI Processor with hardware tensor accelerator that optimizes speed + efficiency + coverage + power consumption. They also offering a lower tier of X82 5G Modem-RF for a more affordable price.
Additionally, they are going to offer brand new 4G IoT modems integrated with the industry-first SIM (iSIM) model designed for ultra-low-power connectivity across a range of IoT applications, from smart meters and healthcare devices to wearables and point-of-sale terminals.
On the other hand, Qualcomm’s 5G OpenRAN solutions have been adopted by various major network operators and infrastructure providers around the world including Vietnam’s Viettel deploying live 5G O-RAN Massive MIMO network powered by Dragonwing Cellular Infrastructure, and Japan’s NTT DOCOMO utilizing Dragonwing X100 Accelerator Cards into O-RAN virtualized Distributed Units (vDUs) to enhance the efficiency of its nationwide 5G vRAN rollout.
FWA Gen 4 Elite
For fixed wireless access solution, the new Dragonwing portfolio also includes the Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Gen 4 Elite Platform which is Qualcomm’s 5G Advanced FWA solution.
it can do broadband speeds of up to 12.5Gbps with AI-enhanced traffic classification and 40 TOPS edge AI processing, improving network performance while enabling advanced generative AI applications at the edge.
Under the hood, it has a 4-core processor that supports hardware acceleration, integrated 5G Modem-RF, GNSS, Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7, and broad carrier middleware support.
Looking into the Future
Aside from all of these soon-to-be-released offerings, Qualcomm is also actively researching 5G Advanced, 6G, and UWB with focus given to coverage expansion and capacity, optimize networks through AI and digital twins, and develop new applications related to immersive experiences and integrated sensing.
