Fujitsu, Qualcomm Partner on 5G Smartphone Reference Design

摘要

Fujitsu Connected Technologies Limited (FCNT) has developed the thinnest 5G smartphone reference design (Photo 1) that supports both sub-6GHz and millimeter wave (mmWave) technologies utilizing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 5G Modular Platform. As commercial 5G service begins and local 5G is deployed at scale around the world in 2020, FCNT will utilize and apply this reference design to inexpensively develop and quickly commercialize 5G-enabled smart devices and solutions, meeting the needs of customers who are considering developing products or providing services that utilize 5G. 5G is a next-generation communications technology that offers ultra-high speed, high capacity, and low latency. It is expected to be used in a wide range of industries, including not only the ICT field, but also mobility and healthcare, among others. In order to further promote the use of 5G and increase the speed of 5G uptake, FCNT has combined the technology and know-how cultivated by FCNT and Qualcomm Technologies to develop the thinnest 5G smartphone reference design, with a thickness of just 7.6mm. At the same time, it also supports technically challenging mmWave communications, utilizing the Snapdragon 865 5G Modular Platform, in which the radio frequency (RF) front-end, the application processor, and the modem are all modularized.
