GEC NEWS WIREIntroduces 4G LTE Advanced Embedded Data Connectivity Platform
Qualcomm Technologies has introduced 4G LTE Advanced embedded data connectivity platform. It is the world’s first commercial one with Category 6 download speeds of up to 300 Mbps for mobile computing devices, including thin form factor laptops, tablets and convertibles, stated the press release.
The platform builds upon three generations of Qualcomm Gobi 4G LTE modems that have been field tested and proven for consumer and enterprise mobility deployments, extending Qualcomm Technologies’ leadership in enabling 3G and 4G solutions that cover the broadest range of cellular technologies and RF bands worldwide.
“The depth and breadth of our Gobi embedded computing modem portfolio allows PC OEMs and module vendors to pick the best solution for virtually any of today’s most popular mobile computing products – from high-end enterprise laptops to volume consumer tablets,” said Fram Akiki, senior director of product management for Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Qualcomm’s technologies also are making it easier than ever for users to do more of what they want while on the go, whether it’s streaming 4K high-definition video or quickly accessing enterprise applications from the cloud.”
The Embedded Connectivity Platform is based on Qualcomm Technologies’ fourth-generation 3G/LTE modem chipset, the Gobi 9×30, and Qualcomm RF transceiver chip, the Qualcomm WTR3925. The WTR3925 also incorporates the Qualcomm IZat location platform designed for delivery of seamless, global location. Together, these solutions enable a powerful, optimized single platform designed to deliver up to 2X faster LTE Advanced along with dual carrier HSUPA and dual band multi-carrier HSPA+, designed to help enable OEMs to launch LTE Advanced Cat 6 devices faster on a global scale, offer significant improvements in performance and power consumption compared to previous generations, and require less printed circuit board area for thinner, sleeker designs.
