If it was n’t for the cancellation of MWC, we might be sitting on the stage at the What ’s Next in 5G Qualcomm press conference. However, across the constraints of time and space, watching the live broadcast of the conference through radio waves only shows the true meaning of wireless network technology. p>
In the past 2019, in just one year of 5G commercialization, more than 50 operators in more than 20 countries have launched 5G networks, and more than 45 terminal manufacturers have launched or announced the launch of 5G commercial terminal equipment. As you can see, most of these terminal devices use Qualcomm Snapdragon 5G mobile platform. p>
p>
Regarding the future of 5G, some people predict that by 2023, the number of global 5G connections is expected to exceed 1 billion.Perhaps we can look further, and by 2025, the number of 5G connections is expected to reach nearly 3 billion (30% of the total global connections). p>
p>
Of course, it is better to create the future than to predict the future. p>

After the two generations of Snapdragon X50 and X55 5G modem-to-antenna solutions, Qualcomm ’s third-generation 5G solution, the Snapdragon X60 modem and RF system, are officially released. It has 2 “first” laurels: the world’s first 5nm process technology5G baseband is also the world’s first solution that supports millimeter wave and aggregation below 6GHz. The former gives it high performance and low power consumption, while the latter allows global operators to maximize the use of their available spectrum resources. p>
The Snapdragon X60 supports download speeds of up to 7.5Gbps and upload speeds of 3Gbps, which means that we can even cache the full HD episode of Qing Yu Nian in less than a minute. p>
p>
The Snapdragon X60 supports all the main frequency bands, deployment modes, frequency band combinations, and 5G VoNR required by the 5G standard. In addition, the Snapdragon X60 will also employ the “Northern Magic Skill”, which is the dynamic spectrum sharing technology (DSS technology), which allows operators to use existing 4G spectrum to quickly deploy 5G services. A classic analogy is that mobile network signals are like running on highways. Carrier aggregation technology is to broaden roads and further increase data throughput. Dynamic spectrum sharing technology is more like transforming old roads, which can help operators use existing 4G spectrum resources quickly deploy 5G services. p>

Qualcomm also introduced Qualcomm ultraSAW RF filter technology for 5G / 4G mobile terminals. This RF filtering technology is targeted at 5G / 4G terminals, which can separate radio signals transmitted and received by mobile phones from different frequency bands, and can greatly improve performance in the frequency band below 2.7GHz. Mobile network technology is quite difficult, but sometimes it can be analogous. For example, this RF filter technology is a bit like the signal’s mother-in-law is in charge of the mobile phone. Before the signal is sent from the operator’s base station to the mobile phone baseband, the RF filter All those inappropriate signals have been shut out. And Qualcomm’s new technology can greatly improve the ability to find and reject errors between mobile phones and signals, and make signal and battery life better. p>
The advent of high-performance mobile platforms and 5G is expected to make the smartphone experience better than ever. Since the release of the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform in December 2019, there have been more than 70 models using the Snapdragon 865. 5G terminal designs have been released or are under development. For example, the recently released and popular Xiaomi Mi 10 series uses Snapdragon 865 with Snapdragon X55 5G modem and RF system. In terms of performance, photography and 5G and Wi-Fi 6 Breakthroughs in areas such as network connectivity. Other announced and forthcoming smartphones equipped with the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform are also coming in droves: Tencent Black Shark Gaming Phone 3, iQOO 3, Savior Gaming Phone, Nubian Red Devils 5G, OPPO Find X2, realme X50 Pro 5G, Redmi K30 Pro, ASUS ROG gaming phone 3, Samsung Galaxy S20, S20 + and S20 Ultra, vivo APEX 2020 concept, ASUS ZenFone 7 and ZTE Axon 10s Pro, etc. p>

2020 is the year of 5G acceleration and expansion. In addition to smartphones, Qualcomm has brought more forms of mobile terminals to new opportunities through its 5G technology innovations, such as extended reality (XR) devices and PCs. p>
For this reason, Qualcomm also launched the Snapdragon XR2 5G reference design platform as an example for terminal manufacturers. This reference design platform Snapdragon XR2 5G reference design platform leverages 5G high-speed, low-latency and other features to provide outstanding performance, immersion and interactivity, plus high-definition display, 6-DOF tracking, and 7-way camera With the support of the past, the rough and shackled VR experience is moving towards “Boundless XR”, which will greatly change our entertainment, social and work experience. p>
In addition to playing, XR’s application may also be extended by companies like Facebook to the social field, making virtual social networks more real. In short, the Snapdragon XR2 5G reference design is more of a jewel, and its imagination can even extend to education, training, medical care, etc. If you have experienced almost a month’s home experience, you must also start thinking Already. p>

A very urgent problem at the moment is that many students who can only access online classes at home are facing the dilemma of slow network loading at home. Being able to support the Snapdragon computing platform that is always online and always connected makes it all easy. p>
Qualcomm took the lead in launching the 5G-enabled Snapdragon computing platform 8cx in 2018, and last year launched several new Snapdragon computing platforms to bring users a long battery life, always connected, out-of-the-box experience . p>
There are two developments regarding Qualcomm’s 5G PC. First, 17 mobile operators have already planned to support 5G PCs equipped with Snapdragon computing platform. Then, Qualcomm is also working with Microsoft to promote equal access to education opportunities in remote areas of Africa that do not have a good Wi-Fi network deployment and coverage through the “Snapdragon Book” that can connect to cellular networks all the time, enabling more students to use the Internet for Learn. You know, there are still more than 1 billion students worldwide who still do n’t have access to broadband / Internet. p>

Some technical terms at the Qualcomm conference are still a little distant to the public, such as the Qualcomm 5G RAN platform that allows 5G to cover a wider range and support the deployment of 5G small base stations, and why Wi-Fi 6E complementary to 5G is worth having . But for the general public, Qualcomm’s technology is omnipresent. As the shadow goes, we can’t do without network connection. Just as Qualcomm CEOAt the end of the conference, An Anmen said: A company cannot complete everything, and the development of 5G requires the sincere collaboration of the entire ecosystem to work together for a win-win situation. Where there is 5G, there will be Qualcomm. p>
