Qualcomm Unlocks 5G for Mobile Devices with mmWave, Sub-6GHz Modules

摘要

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, has unveiled the first fully integrated 5G New Radio (NR) millimeter wave (mmWave) and sub-6GHz radio frequency (RF) modules for smartphones and other mobile devices. The Qualcomm QTM052 mmWave antenna module family and the Qualcomm QPM56xx sub-6GHz RF module family pair with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 5G modem to deliver modem-to-antenna capabilities across several spectrum bands, in a very compact footprint that is suited for integration in mobile devices. According to Cristiano Amon, President, Qualcomm Incorporated, the first commercial 5G NR mmWave antenna modules and sub-6GHz RF modules for smartphones and other mobile devices represents a major milestone for the mobile industry. Qualcomm Technologies' early investment in 5G has allowed the company to deliver a working mobile mmWave solution that was previously thought unattainable, as well as a fully integrated sub-6GHz RF solution. With this development, such modem-to-antenna solutions that span both mmWave and sub-6 spectrum bands, make mobile 5G networks and devices, especially smartphones, ready for large-scale commercialization. "With 5G, consumers can expect gigabit-class Internet speeds with unprecedented responsiveness in the palm of their hands, which stand to revolutionize the mobile experience," Amon said.
