Imagine a future where your device anticipates your needs, switching between Wi-Fi and cellular networks without a hitch, and where real-time experiences such as video calls and gaming are smoother than ever.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of 5G technology, superior end-user experiences and enhanced connectivity performance is paramount. Qualcomm Technologies has taken a significant step forward with the introduction of AI-enhanced 6 antenna management for 5G smartphones in 2024. This innovative technology leverages six antennas to significantly improve throughput, network capacity and overall user experience.

On the week of June 9th, the cellular ecosystem convened in Prague, Czech Republic, for the 108th 3GPP Plenary meeting to chart the future of cellular technology standards. After a week of intensive and productive discussions, many key decisions and milestones were reached. Perhaps the most significant one was the agreement on the initial scope of 3GPP Release 20, which will pave the way for the next generation of wireless technology advancements.

In a world where mobility defines modern life, mobile broadband is no longer a luxury — it’s a lifeline. From students learning remotely to small businesses running point-of-sale systems in rural towns, the ability to connect reliably and at speed is foundational to progress. That’s why Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. is proud to introduce the Dragonwing Mobile Broadband (MBB) platform family — our latest innovation in mobile connectivity and the first MBB series under the Dragonwing brand.

In today’s interconnected world, ensuring seamless cellular network connectivity is essential for both personal and professional activities. From streaming high-definition videos to engaging in video calls, playing real-time games and using AI applications, users demand fast, reliable and context-aware connections, regardless of their location.

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and e& today announced a strategic collaboration to help drive technological development and commercialization across a broad range of advanced connectivity, 5G and edge AI technologies in an effort to accelerate the digital transformation for the government, enterprise and industrial sectors. Edge computing refers to processing data closer to where it is generated—at the “edge” of the network—enabling faster insights, reduced latency, and enhanced security.

Since the foundation for secure connectivity was established with 3GPP Release 15, 5G security has been continuously enhanced. Each subsequent release strengthened the security of the connectivity we rely on today. With the rise of massive parallel computing, AI tools trained on large datasets and quantum computing, which all make for more capable threat vectors, the importance of securing connectivity, compute and AI has never been stronger. As efforts to shape 6G within the 3GPP ecosystem gather momentum, now is the time to look closer at securing the future of mobile connectivity.

Wireless technology is evolving continuously to improve the way we connect and interact with the world. From facilitating mobile communication to supporting novel applications like environmental sensing and immersive extended reality (XR), the impact of wireless innovations continues to grow. In fact, wireless connectivity is an essential component of our vision to enable intelligent computing everywhere.

Our vision for 6G is an innovation platform connecting an expansive compute and intelligence fabric for the next decade and beyond. It is a new wireless system that builds on the technical foundation and deployment insights from previous generations. Although the commercialization of 6G networks and devices is not expected until 2030, a new wireless generation is not architected overnight and we have been working on advanced 6G research for many years now. With on-going work in radio technology, system architecture and core networks and protocols, we are now approaching a crucial milestone: the official beginning of the global technology standardization effort by 3GPP in June 2025.
