As a global technology event, MWC attracts technology companies from all over the world to gather together to jointly promote the innovation and development of mobile communication technology. Qualcomm, one of the world's leading mobile communication technology companies, once again presented its latest achievements in the field of artificial intelligence, WiFi7 and 5G at this conference。This article will delve into the highlights of Qualcomm at MWC2024, focusing on innovations in the fields of artificial intelligence, WiFi7 and 5G, and revealing Qualcomm's leading role in leading the future development direction of communication technology.

Technological innovation in the field of artificial intelligence.

1.Qualcomm's active participation in the AI space.

As the hottest keyword in the field of science and technology in recent years, artificial intelligence has profoundly affected the development of all walks of life. At MWC2024, Qualcomm demonstrated its active participation in the field of artificial intelligence. Qualcomm is committed to extending intelligent computing to devices at the edge, and has played a leading role in PCs, automobiles, smartphones, Wi-Fi devices, and network infrastructure. By driving the adoption of device-side AI, especially in mobile phones and PCs, Qualcomm's Snapdragon series chips provide superior device-side AI capabilities for a wide range of devices, providing strong support for more complex applications in the future

2.Launch of Qualcomm AIHUB.

At MWC2024, Qualcomm is leading the future of artificial intelligence with the launch of the all-new Qualcomm AIHUB. This platform aims to provide developers with a hub for access to development resources, which greatly facilitates the development and promotion of AI applications. AIHub supports more than 75 AI models, including traditional AI models and generative AI models. By optimizing these models, developers can run AI inference up to 4x faster。Not only that, but the optimized model will also consume less memory bandwidth and storage space, resulting in higher energy efficiency and longer battery life. These optimized models will be available through Qualcomm AIHUB, as well as platforms such as HuggingFace and GitHub, making it easier for developers to integrate AI models into their workflows

3.Demonstration of a multimodal large model.

In the field of artificial intelligence, Qualcomm also showcased the world's first multi-modal large model (LMM) running on an Android phone powered by the third-generation Snapdragon 8。The special feature of the multimodal large model is that it can accept not only text input, but also other input data types such as images and audio. In this demo, Qualcomm showcased an LMM with more than 7 billion parameters that supports text, voice, and image input, and is capable of multi-turn conversations based on what is being entered. This technological breakthrough means that future AI systems will be able to understand and process diverse information more intelligently and comprehensively.

4.Innovation in the LoRa model.

Qualcomm also showcased the LoRa model running on Android phones, bringing a whole new innovation to the AI field. The LoRa model has the ability to adjust or customize the content generated by the model without changing the underlying model. By using a very small adapter that is only 2% the size of the model, users can personalize the behavior of the entire generative AI model。This flexibility provides users with a more powerful and customized experience, pushing AI technology to new heights of personalization.

Innovation and progress in WiFi7 technology.

1.WiFi7 is the next generation of WiFi technology standard.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, there is a higher demand for excellent wireless connectivity technology. In this context, WiFi7 came into being as the next-generation WiFi technology standard, providing stronger support for the stable and efficient operation of AI. At this year's MWC Barcelona, Qualcomm unveiled the industry's most powerful Wi-Fi 7 solution, the Qualcomm FastConnect 7900 system.

2.Introduction of the fastconnect7900 system.

Billed as the world's first AI-enhanced Wi-Fi system, the FastConnect7900 system not only integrates Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and ultra-wideband capabilities, but also helps improve mobile phone life with a smaller board area and lower power consumption. By introducing AI technology, FastConnect7900 can analyze the current use of Wi-Fi connections to optimize Wi-Fi parameters, improve overall performance, reduce latency, and improve energy efficiency。When users use some of the most popular apps, the power consumption of the terminal can even be reduced by up to 30%. More importantly, this innovation is carried out on the terminal side, strictly protecting personal privacy and providing users with a more secure and reliable connection experience.

3.Support for multi-terminal experiences.

The introduction of the fastconnect7900 system not only improves the performance of a single terminal, but also enables a better multi-terminal experience. By connecting mobile phones and headphones via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, users can achieve whole-home coverage of audio streaming。At the same time, high-frequency concurrency technology allows the headset and another access point to establish a connection in two 5GHz bands at the same time, helping to reduce latency. The support of the 5GHz band also provides higher data rates and throughput, resulting in lossless sound quality transmission. This series of technological advancements will bring users a smarter and more convenient wireless connection experience.

The latest advances and breakthroughs in 5G technology.

1.Launch of the Snapdragon X805G modem and RF system.

At MWC2024, Qualcomm announced the latest achievements in the 5G field - the Snapdragon X805G modem and RF system. The system combines artificial intelligence with 5GAdvanced performance and enhances 5G capabilities with a number of industry-first, leading-edge featuresYes

2.Innovation in 5G technology.

The Snapdragon X805G modem and RF system is the first system capable of downlink 6-carrier aggregation in the sub-6GHz band. At the same time, it also supports 6RX for the first time, which means that it has 6 channels of reception capability on the RF front-end. This innovation not only expands RF coverage, but also improves connectivity. In addition, the Snapdragon X805G supports the first AI-based multi-antenna management, the first to support AI-enabled extended range communication for CPE, and the first to integrate NB-NTN in a 5G modem to support satellite communication capabilities。These innovations not only improve the performance of 5G technology, but also lay the foundation for the diversity and intelligence of future 5G applications.

Qualcomm's breakthrough in infrastructure processors.

1.Launch of ARM-compatible processors.

Qualcomm has not only made significant achievements in the fields of artificial intelligence, WiFi7 and 5G, but also made important steps in the field of infrastructure processors. The ARM-compatible processors will be designed to support the next generation of open VRAN servers and cost-effective small cells. In the field of server processors, Qualcomm's infrastructure processor portfolio has reduced the total cost of ownership and introduced a new self-developed OryonCPU to better support AI functions on the network side. This family of infrastructure processors not only works with the Qualcomm RAN platform, but also supports standardized interfaces and can work with other vendors' devices, driving the development of the next generation of OpenRAN.
