MWC2022 Mobile World Congress officially opened today, this year's MWC is the year of full return to offline since the beginning of the epidemic, attracting more technology companies to participate in the exhibition in a comprehensive and in-depth manner, including Qualcomm.
This evening, Qualcomm held an hour-long press conference at the show site, where Mr. Mike Roberts, Vice President of Qualcomm Technologies and Head of Global Product Marketing, shared the company's latest developments and released a number of new products, covering the new Snapdragon X70 modem and RF system, the world's first and fastest Wi-Fi 7 commercial solution FastConnect 7800, and two new audio platforms.
The Snapdragon X70 is Qualcomm's 5th generation modem-to-antenna 5G solution, introducing the world's first 5G AI processor in modem and RF systems, leveraging AI capabilities to achieve breakthrough 5G performance, including 10Gbps 5G download speeds.
The Snapdragon X70 introduces the Qualcomm 5G AI Suite, which is designed to leverage AI-optimized Sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G links to improve speed, network coverage, mobility, link robustness and energy efficiency and reduce latency, support all 5G commercial frequency bands from 600MHz to 41GHz, support millimeter wave standalone networking, and enable mobile network operators (MNOs) and service providers to deploy fixed wireless access and enterprise 5G networks without using the Sub-6GHz spectrum.
The Snapdragon X70 introduces the new 3rd Gen Qualcomm 5G PowerSave, which combines a 4nm baseband process with advanced modem and RF technology to dynamically optimize transmit and receive paths in a variety of user scenarios and signal conditions, significantly reducing power consumption and extending battery life. Samples to customers are expected to begin in the second half of 2022, and commercial mobile devices are expected to be available later in 2022.
The FastConnect 7800 is a client connectivity solution that supports the latest Wi-Fi 7 specifications, brings high-speed networking and ultra-low latency Wi-Fi, and supports a range of bluetooth audio advanced features to meet consumers' higher expectations for sound quality.
High-frequency multi-connection concurrency is a signature Wi-Fi 7 feature in the FastConnect 7800 mobile connectivity system, which enables high-frequency connectivity of four data streams in the 5GHz and/or 6GHz bands using two Wi-Fi radios simultaneously. Based on high
With multi-connection concurrency technology, the FastConnect 7800 supports all multi-connection modes, allowing users to experience the lowest latency and interference by using the increasingly popular 320MHz channel in the 6GHz band, or the 240MHz channel in the 5GHz band available worldwide, and enjoy jitter-free connectivity and peak speeds.
For example, a mobile terminal connected to a Wi-Fi 6/6E access point (using a 2x2 backhaul channel in the high-frequency band) can simultaneously connect an XR headset (using a 2x2 transmission channel in the high-frequency band) to avoid being affected by the low bandwidth and network congestion in the 2.4GHz band.
With a new generation of Smart Dual Bluetooth technology, two RVs with optimized connectivity, the FastConnect 7800 brings powerful support for Snapdragon Sound Snapdragon Listening, Bluetooth LE Audio and Bluetooth 5.3, enabling bluetooth accessories to nearly 1x more signal connectivity range and halve pairing times, making it easy for users to instantly
Adjust the Bluetooth connection between the smartphone and the computer or between the earbuds and the hands-free system in the car.
At the same time, Qualcomm brings two new audio platforms Qualcomm S5 Audio Platform (QCC517x) and Qualcomm S3 Audio Platform (QCC307x), both of which support Snapdragon Sound Snapdragon Listening Technology.
James Chapman, Vice President and General Manager of Voice, Music and Wearables Business, Qualcomm, said: "By leveraging the Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, the Qualcomm FastConnect 6900 and the newly released FastConnect 7800 connectivity system, as well as Snapdragon Sound Snapdragon Listening technology, we will deliver the ultimate wireless audio experience. For example, in addition to being the first to provide support for lossless audio, we've added an ultra-low latency game mode with in-game voice chat, as well as the ability to record stereo content for earbuds, which we believe will bring tremendous value to a new generation of creators. ”
Both of these new platforms provide audio OEMs with broad flexibility to enable them to productize at multiple tiers
Audio devices using the above two new platforms can support more features, including: CD-level lossless Bluetooth sound quality at 16-bit 44.1kHz, Ultra HD Bluetooth sound quality at 24-bit 96kHz, audio latency as low as 68ms in game mode and support for voice synchronization backhaul, easy and seamless switching between audio source devices, and natural transmission mode of Qualcomm Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation Technology in the 3rd generation.
Currently, the Qualcomm S5 Audio Platform (QCC517x) and Qualcomm S3 Audio Platform (QCC307x) are being delivered to customers
Commercial products are expected to be available in the second half of 2022.
Today, Qualcomm also comprehensively sorted out the situation of participating in MWC Barcelona, the purpose of which is also to better convey Qualcomm's theme at MWC, that is, Qualcomm will continue to empower richer terminals through the "unified technology roadmap", cooperate with a wider range of industrial partners, and accelerate the realization of the future of intelligent interconnection through technological innovation and ecological cooperation.
