Qualcomm to Demo 2-Gbps X24 LTE Modem

Qualcomm Technologies has announced early commercialization of the Qualcomm Snapdragon X24 LTE modem, the world’s first announced Category 20 LTE modem supporting up to 2 gigabits per second (Gbps) download speeds.

The Snapdragon X24 LTE modem delivers two times the speed of the Company’s first generation Gigabit LTE modem.

The Snapdragon X24 is the industry’s first chipset to support up to seven times carrier aggregation in the downlink, as well as 4x4 MIMO on up to five aggregated LTE carriers.

A total of up to 20 concurrent spatial LTE streams can be supported, allowing service providers to use all spectrum assets, licensed spectrum, or with License Assisted Access (LAA).

The modem also supports Full Dimension Multi-Input Multi-Output (FD-MIMO), a Massive MIMO technology that is foundational to future 5G NR networks. In the uplink, Snapdragon X24 supports Category 20 upload speeds, 3x20 MHz CA and up to 256-QAM.

The Snapdragon X24 LTE modem will be featured in a live demonstration at Mobile World Congress Barcelona in conjunction with Ericsson, Telstra and NETGEAR.
