Walk through the history of 5G.
We’ve been working on 5G for 10+ years - inventing, driving standards, proving concepts. and enabling our partners to be successful. See how our milestones have led us to 5G.
Powering the digital economy.
5G will be a major economic driver—spurring the innovation of new industries, products, services and job creation. To better understand and quantify these impacts, Qualcomm commissioned The 5G Economy – a landmark research project.
Unlocking the full potential of 5G.
Today, intelligence is primarily associated with the cloud, but as we start to connect virtually everything around us, intelligence needs to be scaled by distributing to the devices that form the wireless edge. 5G is the unified connectivity fabric in this new distributed computing paradigm at the wireless edge, offering low latency, virtually unlimited capacity, and high quality of service. With 5G commercialization in 2019, we are now transforming the wireless edge to bring many societal benefits and the promise of massive on-device AI.
Mission-critical services
Ultra-reliable, low-latency 5G technology will enable new precision command-and-control services.
Massive Internet of Things
Intelligently connect virtually anything, anywhere with cost- and power-optimized 5G technology.
Everything You Need to Know About 5G.
The R&D engine fueling the 5G industry.
