Qualcomm’s ultraBAW filters cover 2.7 GHz to 7.2 GHz, keeping cellular and Wi-Fi in place. Qualcomm explains how the filters work. Each time a government auctions off a slice of spectrum for cellular use, the airwaves get more crowded as users begin occupying the new frequencies. In the days when spectrum wasn’t so scarce, cellular…
Private 5G networks unlock IoT applications
As more industries rely on wireless devices, sensors, and artificial intelligence to connect people and machines, private networks bring the potential to enable more advanced IoT applications while increasing security, bandwidth and speed.
5G, B5G, 6G: A tale of two similar conferences
Two conferences, held at the same time, covered mostly the same topics.
mmWave FWA test reaches 6.5 km
Qualcomm, Ericsson, and TIM demonstrated just how far a line-of-site mmWave connection can reach, which could make fixed-wireless access more practical. Qualcomm’s Gautam Sheoran explains in the video interview.
CES 2021: The engineering perspective
CES isn’t just about the latest consumer gadgets, there’s something for engineers, too.
Envelope tracking improves power amplifier efficiency
RF power amplifiers consume lots of energy, which is a concern associated with 5G. Envelope tracking helps reduce power consumption but has tradeoffs.
5G FWA reaches 5 km: What’s behind it?
In a video interview, 5G Technology World speaks with Qualcomm’s Mohammed Al Khairy on how the company worked with Ericsson and US Cellular to reach that distance.
Key takeaways from 6G Symposium
Despite the intense hype, 5G looks like a stepping stone to the real thing.
Video: 5G NR-Light will serve sensors, wearables, and IoT
5G Technology World interviews Qualcomm’s Danny Tseng on what to expect from 3GPP Release 17.
X60 Modem aggregates mmWave and sub-6 GHz carriers
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X60 5G modem builds on its two 5G predecessors—the X50 and X55—by adding sub-6 GHz and mmWave carrier aggregation, plus other features. According to Qualcomm, the 5 nm process used to fabricate the X60 provides higher power efficiency into a smaller footprint. Additional features include: 5G frequency-division duplex (FDD) and time-division duplex (TDD)…
