According to Qualcomm bandwidth consumption is growing at a significant pace - by 2018 smartphone will consume up to 2.7 GB per month, and the mobile Internet will be three times faster than a conventional wire. In developing regions, 3G / 4G Internet will demand four times more wired into force availability and ease of networking. Currently, more than 500 operators investing in LTE networks in 111 countries, working 318 networks supporting LTE.
It is expected that by 2018, the number of 3G / 4G connections will exceed $ 5 billion, and in 2020 this number will amount to $ 25 billion. This will be possible thanks to the fact that the network will come out more and more devices such as various wearable electronics, automobiles, home appliances, etc., not to mention the transfer of broadcasting in the network.
September 10, we have specially arrived in Hong Kong, where the company Qualcomm Technologies announced a number of new products and technologies to increase productivity and improve data on smartphones and tablets average price. The newest addition to its line of Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 Snapdragon processor 210 will be a complex multi-mode (3G / 4G LTE and LTE Dual SIM) solution for mid-end smartphone segment.
Was also submitted to a reference design tablet that will allow OEM and ODM manufacturers to produce tablets with support for 3G / LTE. The first version of the tablet will be available with a Snapdragon processor 410 and 210 families. Finally, QTI also be showing the latest 28 nm transceivers that are optimized to support LTE and LTE Advanced devices lower and middle price segments; and versatile new generation network chip Qualcomm RF360, which supports all popular combinations of communication standards.
Reference design - a design device, developed by the manufacturer of the chipset. In our case, Qualcomm develops its own platform, which has everything, except for the display, the camera module, some other small things, and of course, the exterior design of the housing. Using this model as a basis, device manufacturers do not spend time and multimillion-dollar budgets for the development of the device, while its Debugging and testing, since all this for them already made in Qualcomm.
Additional features Snapdragon processor 210 include:
- Seamless high-speed LTE connection and full support Carrier Aggregation in 4G LTE-Advanced Cat 4 (combining multiple streams of Handover for greater speed), LTE Broadcast and LTE Dual SIM / Dual Standby - all solutions are presented for the first time in the products in this price category.
- High-quality multimedia files in Full-HD resolution (1080p) with hardware support for HEVC.
- Improved productivity and efficiency in the entry-level quad-CPU and Qualcomm Adreno 304 graphics.
- Supports resolutions of up to 8 MP and advanced computing capabilities cameras, including zero shutter lag, extended dynamic range (HDR), autofocus, auto white balance and exposure.
- Support Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0, that allows you to charge the battery up to 75% faster than the devices which does not support fast charging.
Additional features Qualcomm Reference Design (QRD) with Snapdragon processor 210 is available in configurations for both smartphones and tablets, and to include all the above features of the processor, as well as advanced communications capabilities, including integrated support for 4G LTE-Advanced Cat 4 Carrier Aggregation, RF transceiver WTR2955 and chip Qualcomm RF360 to support popular communication standards.
Additional features QRD with Snapdragon processor 410 is also available for both smartphones and tablet computers, and include:
- High performance with low power consumption and support for 64-bit architecture in the Android devices with quad-core processors.
- Graphics and media capability of the highest level thanks to GPU Adreno 306.
- Seamless, high-speed connectivity at any time and in any place, thanks to the integrated modem (4G LTE World Mode) with speeds up to 150 Mbps (CAT4).
To date, the sale received more than 525 devices based on QRD, which were created more than 40 OEM-manufacturers in 21 countries, including more than 30 QRD devices that support LTE. Besides the development is already more than 160 units on the basis of QRD, supporting LTE. One of the first will be released based tablet reference design 4G LTE Snapdragon 410, which will release FOXDA Technology industrial Co. Ltd. - Supplier of EMS and ODM services for consumer electronics brands worldwide.
Additional features of 28 nm transceivers and a new generation of chips Qualcomm RF360 include:
- Two new 28-nm transceiver (WTR4905 and WTR2955), working in tandem with Snapdragon 410 and 210, respectively, and are optimized to support LTE and LTE Advanced multimode devices secondary and primary levels.
- CMOS power a new generation of Qualcomm RF360 and antenna switch in an integrated and modular architecture designed to address the growing complexity of the use of Carrier Aggregation, allowing device manufacturers to easily customize the LTE-products for use in global or regional networks of operators. In this case, the chip was 30% less, and its performance and energy efficiency have increased in comparison with the previous generation.
- The next generation of Qualcomm RF360 with integrated power amplifier and antenna switch - QFE3320 - is a configurable solution Carrier Aggregation, which can be optimized for a combination of regional frequencies in devices of secondary and primary level, to address the needs of the ecosystem LTE Advanced.
- The new modular system Qualcomm RF360 - an advanced solution based on separate amplifiers - QFE3335 / 3345, and a duplexer QFE1035 / 1045, which adds flexibility and simplifies routing for 2x and 3x Carrier Aggregation with support for third-generation Generation Partner Project (3GPP).
- The next generation of Qualcomm RF360 got tuner QFE25xx - with high linearity and gain control of the modem for a more sustainable LTE connections in the presence of physical barriers such as the head or hands of the user.
Snapdragon processor 210 and a reference design tablet tablet is expected to be available in the form of commercial devices in the first half of 2015, and new products with RF360 - a little earlier, in the second half of 2014.
Well, after the event, Enrico Salvatore (Enrico Salvatori), senior vice president and general manager of Qualcomm Europe, thanked us for attention and asked to give a little hello to all readers iPhoneBul :)
