Snapdragon X24 LTE Modem

On the path to 5G: Introducing the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X24 LTE modem, the world’s first-announced modem to support Cat 20 LTE. It’s designed to help operators to fully mobilize their spectrum assets and extend the capabilities of Gigabit LTE as the foundation for multimode 5G devices and networks. And, with our fastest LTE peak download speeds yet—up to 2 Gbps—our third generation Gigabit LTE modem is built in a cutting-edge 7nm FinFET process, allowing for new consumer experiences at blazing-fast speeds.

Breaking the multi-Gigabit barrier.

With fiber-like Internet speeds delivered wirelessly over LTE, the Snapdragon X24 LTE modem can offer incredible mobile experiences such as immersive 360-degree video, and open up possibilities for new generations of applications. By supporting unprecedented 2Gbps speeds, the Snapdragon X24 LTE modem delivers 2x the speed of our first generation of Gigabit LTE modems through 4x4 MIMO on five aggregated LTE carriers—for a total of up to 20 concurrent spatial LTE streams. The Snapdragon X24 LTE modem also provides support for Cat 20 upload speeds up to 316 Mbps.

Small is big.

As if speeds of 2 Gbps aren’t impressive enough, the Snapdragon X24 LTE modem also takes up less space than ever before. The Snapdragon X24 LTE modem is the world’s first commercially announced chipset built in a leading-edge 7nm FinFET process—engineered to provide consumers with better power efficiency on their devices, and provide OEMs with valuable board space that can be utilized for large batteries or superior streamlined designs.

High-precision positioning.

The Snapdragon X24 LTE modem supports concurrent, multi-constellation, multi-frequency GNSS. GNSS is optimized to provide highly accurate location positioning required in many different applications.

Expanding the gigabit footprint.

The Snapdragon X24 LTE modem provides support for up to 7x carrier aggregation, up to 4x4 MIMO on five aggregated carriers, and up to 20 LTE spatial streams. The Snapdragon X24 LTE modem is designed to help mobile operators to fully mobilize their spectrum assets, support Gigabit speeds across a wide range of scenarios, and maximize the capacity of their Gigabit LTE networks.
