Car manufacturers have been engaged in horsepower wars for years, prompting some of us to brag endlessly about how quick and fast their cars are.
Soon, they’re going to start bragging about a new dimension of speed and power—wireless connectivity. A growing number of cars are now coming equipped with Wi-Fi hotspots.
Whether you love Thy neighbor or not, you will definitely love “Neighborhood small cells!”
Today Qualcomm’s partners began receiving samples of our third generation Qualcomm Gobi LTE chips – our latest and greatest cellular modems. The MDM9225 and MDM9625 will be the first chips to contain new LTE and HSPA+ modems, which are faster and use less power than their predecessors.
As the saying goes, “Challenges bring out the best in us.” And now we’re facing a formidable one: The 1000x challenge.
Quick question for you—what technology do you use when you make a voice call on your shiny new 4G LTE smartphone? Answer - 3G, and in some cases even 2G!
Over the last few months, we were hard at work on envisioning, developing, prototyping and testing the newest enhancements of 3G/4G technologies. And now, we are proud to say that we’re ready to demonstrate them in the flesh. However, you will have to wait until Feb 27th to see them live in action!
Do you know how many radio technologies a modern smartphone or tablet can have in it? Here’s a list of all the flavors of 2G, 3G, and 4G cellular radios plus miscellaneous ones.
Would you believe that meeting data demand can be as easy as child’s play? No? Check out this video (after reading my blog of course)!
During my recent talk about small cells and their evolution toward higher coverage, capacity and reach, a listener asked me, “Isn’t that what today’s picocells offer?” The answer is, “Exactly!” As we move toward femto networks, femtos will be used as traditional picocells, combining the plug and play benefit of femto architecture with larger coverage and capacity of picocells. Our recent announcement of femto chipsets supporting up to 32 users is a major step in that direction.
If you want to know the feeling of coming from behind to win the race, just ask these guys – Mobily and STC. While their bigger cohorts in India and China are still waiting, they launched the world’s first LTE TDD commercial networks in Saudi Arabia.
