Today, Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon X65 5G modem and radio frequency system (“Snapdragon X65” for short) – the 4th generation 5G modem-to-antenna solution. What’s more interesting, we are dealing with the world’s first modem and radio frequency system that supports 10Gbps 5G rate and conforms to 3GPP 16 specifications.
The Snapdragon X65 is the company’s biggest leap in 5G solutions. The system is designed to support the fastest 5G transmission speed on the market through wireless performance comparable to optical fiber, and to make full use of the available spectrum to achieve ultimate network flexibility, capacity and coverage. In addition to the Snapdragon X65, Qualcomm Technologies also launched the Snapdragon X62 5G modem and radio frequency system (“Snapdragon X62” for short), a modem-to-antenna solution optimized for the mainstream mobile broadband application market.
