The IoT wireless chip and module maker to focus on 5G. No changes to those who purchase 4G wireless modules. Sequans, a maker of wireless connectivity ICs and modules has agreed to sell its line of 4G/LTE products to wireless semiconductor giant Qualcomm. Under the deal, Qualcomm grants Sequans a perpetual license to sell the…

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…

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.

Two conferences, held at the same time, covered mostly the same topics.

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 isn’t just about the latest consumer gadgets, there’s something for engineers, too.

RF power amplifiers consume lots of energy, which is a concern associated with 5G. Envelope tracking helps reduce power consumption but has tradeoffs.

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.

Despite the intense hype, 5G looks like a stepping stone to the real thing.

5G Technology World interviews Qualcomm’s Danny Tseng on what to expect from 3GPP Release 17.
