LTE
Boosting data capacity with broadband spectrum.
Using new, wider bandwidth or TDD spectrum, operators today are employing LTE technology to augment the data capacity of their 3G/Evolved 3G networks, and provide customers with an excellent mobile broadband experience. Thanks to Qualcomm’s industry-first and most advanced LTE/3G multimode chipsets, users have access to a wide variety of LTE devices, ranging from USB dongles to smartphones and tablets.
Augmenting 3G and boosting capacity
Augmenting 3G and boosting capacity
LTE will initially be deployed in densely populated urban areas—overlaid on the 3G and Evolved 3G networks—to boost data capacity and deliver seamless, high-speed mobile data to subscribers with LTE/3G multimode devices. Voice services will continue to be delivered via 3G, and 3G will also provide data service when subscribers move outside LTE coverage areas.
Leveraging new wideband spectrum
Leveraging new wideband spectrum
LTE is well suited to leverage new, wider (10 MHz or more) bandwidth as well as TDD spectrum. For existing and smaller bandwidths, 3G and its evolutions offer cost-effective software and hardware upgrades that drive up performance.
LTE-TDD: The global solution for unpaired spectrum
LTE-TDD: The global solution for unpaired spectrum
In areas where unpaired (TDD) spectrum is available, LTE-TDD is the ideal solution. Like its FDD relative, LTE-TDD is fully interoperable with 3G. Furthermore, it leverages LTE-FDD’s core network and a vast LTE/3G ecosystem.
Industry’s first and leading LTE/3G multimode chipsets
Industry’s first and leading LTE/3G multimode chipsets
Qualcomm was the first in the industry to introduce LTE/3G multimode chipsets in 2009. We currently offer a range of chipsets that support everything from data modems, USB dongles to powerful smartphones and tablets. All of our LTE/3G multimode chipsets support FDD and TDD modes.
