Qualcomm eyes mmWave rollouts in Korea,Janan in 2020

摘要

Investors continue to question the viability of millimeter wave (mmWave) technology, as evident during Qualcomm's earnings call on Wednesday, but the chipset behemoth expects further adoption of mmWave technology in more regions beginning as early as next year. Asked about mmWave performance, Qualcomm President Cristiano Amon said as new technology is launched, it comes with a Iot of features but not all on Day One. Some of the initial battery life issues in the first-generation mmWave chipsets already have been addressed through software updates, and "we've seen a full day battery life" on existing first-generation chipsets, he said. In the second-generation Snapdragon, there will be further evolution of the technology and significant improvements in battery life and other features, according to Amon.
