In October 2016, Qualcomm released the first generation of 5g baseband snapdragon X50 and RF system, which is the world's first 5g solution, supporting 5g services based on millimeter wave and 6GHz band.
In February 2019, Qualcomm launched the second generation 5g baseband snapdragon x55 and RF system, supporting 5g SA independent networking, 5g FDD frequency band, dynamic spectrum sharing and other key features, and upgrading the manufacturing process to 7Nm.
Today, Qualcomm officially releasedThird Generation 5G Independent Baseband , 5g network performance is further enhanced to a new level.
The evolution of 4G to maturity of 5G is not achieved overnight, but is a phased process, and there are large gaps in different regions of the world. In 2019, a large number of countries and regions officially began to deploy 5G,2020-2021 year 5G deployment speed will be greatly accelerated, and smooth transition to 5G SA mode.
At present, there are more than 45 operators deploying 5g network in the world, more than 40 terminal manufacturers announce or release 5g terminal products, and more than 340 operators in more than 115 countries and regions are investing 5g.
Of course, with the development of communication technology, the complexity of RF technology is getting higher and higher,In the light of the frequency band alone,5G had more than 10,000 in its early stages of development , and there are obvious differences in different regions, which undoubtedly put forward unprecedented requirements for 5g solutions, and a truly global 5g baseband has become a necessity, which is the advantage of Qualcomm.
Xiaolong X60 5g baseband is the first to be manufactured with a new 5nm technology, which has higher energy efficiency and smaller area. Compared with the previous generation of Xiaolong x55, it focuses on enhancing the carrier aggregation capability. Through a wide range of spectrum combinations, operators can deploy flexibly, including:
In addition, Cellosaurus X60 also supports Vonr (voice over NR), which can provide high-quality voice service through 5g new air portIt is also an important step in the evolution of global mobile industry from NSA independent networking to sa independent networking mode.
However, at the highest speed, Xiaolong X60 has not been further improved, after all, it is as high asDownline rate of 7.5Gbps, uplink rate of 3Gbps It will not be a bottleneck for a long time. Simply increasing the theoretical speed will not help the actual experience.
Qualcomm also launched as a baseband mix Third Generation Millimeter Wave Module for Mobile Terminals , can be used in the new top flagship mobile phone of fashion.
New module support 26 GHz,28 GHz,39 GHz and other global millimeter wave bands , including the United States, South Korea, Japan, Europe, Australia and other places.
Qualcomm is committed to millimeter wave. Compared with other schemes, which are not supported, commercially available or single frequency band, Qualcomm's millimeter wave scheme is the most comprehensive and advanced. It now supports 24GHz, 26ghz, 28ghz, 39ghz and other global millimeter wave bands, including the millimeter wave - 6GHz and below aggregation just mentioned.
Qualcomm is also looking forward to the possible deployment of millimeter-waves in China by 2021, although it also stresses that the deployment of millimeter-waves requires a lot of early testing, that China's network and demand are unique, and that it considers the industry-wide readiness in 2021.
As early as July 2017, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology approved the new millimeter wave test frequency band, including 26 GHz,38 GHz, spectrum resources total 7.75 GHz, are very good spectrum resources.
And under the guidance of the ICT Academy, manufacturers such as Qualcomm United ZTE have carried out long millimeter wave trials and simulation demonstrations, and will continue to advance in 2020 and 2021.
In addition, the earliest deployment of millimeter wave of the United States, as well as the subsequent South Korea, Japan, Russia, Italy, its first experience are worthy of reference and reference.
The Cellon X605G baseband scheme and the QTM 535mm wave module are expected to sample in the first quarter of 2020, while the 5G smartphone with Cellon X60 is expected to launch early in 2021.
