In the coming years, high speed mobile data will become a common occurrence that should be taken to a new level the Internet of things and create new lines of business. As said the head of Qualcomm Steve Mollenkopf, in the near future, 5G will be as ubiquitous as electricity. Today, an American company made a few announcements that will allow it to occupy more advantageous positions in the segment of communications, where he soon expected a bitter rivalry.
Qualcomm Technologies has officially unveiled the Wireless Edge Services – software package, designed for corporate users and users of the industrial Internet of things. This software will provide safety training, connectivity and lifecycle management of billions of smart wireless devices within cloud platforms.
The company expects that the Wireless Edge Services will be available through a new API on a separate chipset Qualcomm: first MDM9206 and QCA4020, and then on some platforms Snapdragon. If wireless technology will continue to evolve in the same direction, in a short operating time from Qualcomm are very much in demand for the development of systems such as smart cities, automated businesses, and much more.
In addition, there were presented new technologies of communication 5G within the development of a global standard 5G New Radio (NR), developed by the 3GPP consortium. After the recent finalization of the first version of the standard 5G NR, implying deploy the first 5G networks in 2019, the 3GPP has approved a new development phase that will determine the future of 5G NR under Release 16 and later.
More details of the developments from Qualcomm will be available during the exhibition MWC, which will be held later this month in Barcelona. There, visitors will see new products, equipped with the latest Snapdragon chipset 845, and become familiar with the capabilities of the new LTE modem, the Snapdragon X24 supporting speed up to 2 Gbit/s.
