Qualcomm announced today at their 4G/5G Summit in Hong Kong specific products their 1 Gigabit Snapdragon X16 LTE modem will ship inside of. In February, the company announced, and we wrote here,  that they had achieved speeds of up to 1 Gbps using this newly-announced Snapdragon X16 modem. Many questioned when we would see real products using a modem of such capabilities, but the doubters now have an answer. At their 4G/5G Global Summit in Hong Kong which Moor Insights & Strategy associate analyst Anshel Sag is attending, Qualcomm announced two major product developments using the Gigabit-class LTE modem known as the Snapdragon X16 LTE modem. Both announcements involve actual product announcements that utilize the X16 LTE modem and bring us into the “LTE Advanced Pro” era.

Regardless of what part of technology you come from, the entire tech industry has been talking about 5G. 5G will reshape the way we will use mobile devices, deliver self-driving cars and smart cities, and even the way get content delivered to our homes. Some companies talk about it to be part of the conversation, while others lead and set the way. Many wireless companies have been jostling for a position within the upcoming 5G wireless world and Qualcomm has shown incredible leadership in 5G. The company showed significant strength in 3G and even more in 4G and doesn’t look to be letting up any time soon. Because of Qualcomm’s CDMA heritage and 4G expertise, it only seems natural that the company would also want to have a leading place in 5G. This is further exemplified by their exhaustive R&D in 5G as well as industry wide-partnerships with operators, infrastructure vendors and device makers. Qualcomm is looking to extend their leadership in 5G today at the 4G/5G Summit in Hong Kong today by announcing the world’s first 5G modem, the Snapdragon X50.
