Qualcomm, the world leader in wireless technology, has unveiled its innovations for 5G and 6G in view of MWC Barcelona 2024, which will be held from 26 to 29 February. The company showcased new solutions for wireless broadband, Wi-Fi 7 for cars and technology demonstrations for the future of connectivity.
La banda larga wireless con il 5G Fixed Wireless Access Ultra Gen 3
Qualcomm has launched its new 5G Fixed Wireless Access Ultra Gen 3 platform, offering wireless broadband connectivity for homes and businesses. The platform supports both sub-7 GHz and mmWave bands, ensuring optimal coverage and capacity. Additionally, the platform integrates Wi-Fi 7, the next generation of Wi-Fi that offers greater speed, efficiency and security. Thanks to this solution, Qualcomm wants to make 5G a valid alternative to fiber optics, with comparable performance and greater flexibility.
Wi-Fi 7 for cars: a smart and secure connection for connected vehicles
Qualcomm also announced its first Wi-Fi 7 chipset for cars, offering a smart, secure wireless connection for connected vehicles. The chipset supports advanced Wi-Fi 7 features, such as multi-user MIMO, beamforming and OFDMA, which improve connection quality and reliability. Furthermore, the chipset supports Wi-Fi Aware, a technology that allows Wi-Fi devices to communicate with each other without the need for a network, facilitating the exchange of information between vehicles and with the road infrastructure. This can increase traffic safety and efficiency, as well as create new opportunities for location-based services and applications.
Technology demonstrations for 5G Advanced and 6G
Qualcomm also showed off its technology demonstrations for 5G Advanced and 6G, the next evolutions in wireless technology. 5G Advanced will bring new features and improvements to networks and devices. 6G is Qualcomm’s vision for 2030 and beyond, enabling ubiquitous, intelligent connectivity that supports new experiences and applications. Among the technologies demonstrated by Qualcomm, there are Giga-MIMO, a solution that exploits the new frequency bands between 7 and 24 GHz to increase the capacity of networks, and 6G AI, a technology that integrates artificial intelligence into networks and devices, to optimize performance and efficiency.
