What you should know:

• Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. introduces the Qualcomm Dragonwing Mobile Broadband Multimedia (MBM) Family, a new family of broadband platforms designed for interactive, multimedia-rich experiences.
• The platforms prioritize responsiveness, immersion and personalization to support how users connect, create and consume content.
• The family includes the Dragonwing MBM7 Series offering premium 5G and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, advanced multimedia capabilities and integrated AI.
• The family also has the Dragonwing MBM4 Series which includes 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity, and high-end multimedia capabilities.

As broadband devices continue to evolve, users expect more than raw performance or fast connectivity alone. Rich, intuitive display and experiences that adapt to individual needs are becoming essential to delivering truly premium broadband solutions.

Qualcomm Technologies has a long legacy of providing premium broadband products including the Dragonwing MBB and Dragonwing FWA platforms. Today, Qualcomm Technologies is introducing a new class of broadband platforms: the Dragonwing MBM Family — a new product line designed for personal, interactive multimedia broadband experience through premium 5G and Wi‑Fi connectivity, advanced integrated multimedia capabilities and flexible configurations.

What are the Dragonwing MBM7 and MBM4 Series?

The MBM Family features three products across two tiers, with higher tier MBM Series and mainstream tier MBM Series.

The MBM7 Series today includes the MBM715 for premium 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity, high-end multimedia capabilities and integrated AI for quality user experience.

With support for 5G NR sub‑6 GHz, including standalone (SA) and non‑standalone (NSA) modes, the Dragonwing MBM Series enables fast, reliable broadband performance across environments. Advanced Wi‑Fi, including Wi‑Fi 7, 320 MHz channels and 4K QAM, enables low‑latency, high‑throughput connections that feel immediate and responsive. Bluetooth® 6.0 wireless technology, including Bluetooth LE Audio and Bluetooth Channel Sounding, further supports proximity‑aware and more intuitive user interactions.

It also has support for high‑resolution, high‑refresh‑rate displays for smooth, engaging visuals, while advanced camera capabilities powered by the Qualcomm Spectra Image Signal Processor (ISP) enable sophisticated imaging, including triple 12‑bit ISPs and support for up to 200‑megapixel photo capture. Combined with integrated Qualcomm Adreno GPU capabilities, these features enable visually rich, responsive experiences that adapt to user behavior and input.

The MBM4 Series includes the MBM415 for 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity, advanced multimedia features and flexible memory options.

Built for seamless, always‑on broadband connectivity

At the core of the Dragonwing MBM Family is industry‑leading connectivity that enables responsive, always‑on broadband experiences. By integrating advanced cellular, Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth technologies, the series provides the foundation for real‑time interaction — supporting how users connect, communicate and engage with content throughout the day.

Rich, interactive multimedia experiences

The Dragonwing MBM Family is built to power rich, interactive multimedia experiences that bring broadband usage to life. Advanced integrated multimedia subsystems support display, camera and graphics pipelines simultaneously — enabling immersive visual experiences designed around how users watch, create, collaborate and interact.

Flexible platform configurations

No two broadband experiences are the same. The Dragonwing MBM Family supports flexible memory configurations with options for LPDDR4x and LPDDR5x. It also supports Android and Linux software, allowing device makers to tailor performance, power efficiency and design to specific user needs and usage models.

Purpose‑built for personal, experience‑driven broadband

With the introduction of the Dragonwing MBM Family, Qualcomm Technologies expands its broadband portfolio with platforms designed to support interactive, personal and premium user experiences. This series brings together premium 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity, advanced multimedia and platform flexibility into a cohesive family focused on experience‑level outcomes. By prioritizing responsiveness, immersion and personalization, the series enables broadband devices that feel fast, intuitive and engaging — built around how people actually use them.
