Shulou(Shulou.com)12/24 Report--

5G is a new generation of mobile communication technology that can provide high-speed, low-delay and massive connectivity, but the transmission rate of mobile communication is related to power consumption. In some application scenarios that require higher power consumption, the power consumption can be reduced appropriately, so there is lightweight 5G, namely ReducedCapability 5G, which is abbreviated as RedCap in the industry. RedCap joined the 5G standard version of Rel-17 in 2022, in which Qualcomm, which continues to contribute 5G innovative technology, is an important promoter of RedCap technology, standards and applications. Qualcomm also launched the world's first 5G RedCap modem and RF system Snapdragon X35 in February 2023, providing a new choice for 5G innovative terminals to balance delay, throughput, density, complexity and battery life. According to the latest news, the smaller and more cost-effective 5G terminals based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X35 will be available in large numbers in the first half of 2024, which will also contribute to the explosive growth of RedCap.

After the release of Qualcomm Snapdragon X35, Chinese module manufacturers such as Mobile Communications and Mega Intelligence have successively launched 5G RedCap modules equipped with Snapdragon X35. These modules will be used in a wide range of fields, such as industrial Internet, smart energy, smart wear, smart city and so on. According to the forecast of the research organization, the number of terminal connections of RedCap will exceed 10 million in 2024 and more than 100 million in 2026. Qualcomm works closely with Chinese industrial partners to support Chinese Internet of things enterprises to explore overseas markets with Qualcomm's globalized 5G solutions through projects such as the 5G Internet of things Innovation Program. At present, five Chinese manufacturers, including Mobile Communications, rank among the top five in the global cellular Internet of things module market and occupy more than 60% of the market share.

The reason why Qualcomm actively promotes the rapid development of industrial partners is determined by Qualcomm's business model. Qualcomm accumulates technology and inventions through a large amount of investment in research and development, and then shares 5G and other innovative achievements with partners in the form of technology licenses and chips, and applies them on the ground through partners. this model is summed up by Qualcomm as "invention-sharing-collaboration". Qualcomm does not produce end products directly. Only when partners succeed can Qualcomm succeed.

In the future, Qualcomm will continue to work closely with Chinese industrial partners to jointly promote the commercial use of 5G innovative technologies in thousands of industries, promote the transformation and upgrading of more industries, and improve the consumer experience. To contribute to the sustainable development of China and the global digital economy.
