Qualcomm at the MWC 2019 has announced the Qualcomm Snapdragon Mobile Platform with 5G integrated into a System-on-Chip (SoC) which is based on the Snapdragon X50 and X55 5G modems and RF front-end (RFFE) solutions. It also announced its first 5G customer premise equipment (CPE) reference design for sub-6 GHz and millimeter wave (mmWave) 5G fixed wireless broadband (FWB) products. The new integrated mobile platform is the first in a roadmap of software-compatible 5G mobile platforms and takes advantage of the newly announced second-generation 5G mmWave antenna module and sub-6 GHz RFFE components and modules. The new 5G platform features Qualcomm 5G PowerSave technology to enable smartphones with impressive battery life. Qualcomm 5G PowerSave builds on a connected-mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX, a feature in 3GPP specifications) along with additional techniques from Qualcomm Technologies to enhance battery life in 5G mobile devices. The new integrated Snapdragon 5G mobile platform's samples will be available in Q2 of 2019, with commercial devices expected in the first half of 2020. As for the reference design, it features the newly announced second-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 5G modem and next-generation Qualcomm RF front-end (RFFE) components and modules for sub-6 GHz and mmWave deployments. It provides a comprehensive 5G modem-to-antenna solution. ...
