Open and virtualized wireless access networks (open vRANs) are experiencing strong development momentum in commercial design and deployment, and the importance of intelligent computing innovation and AI for 5G infrastructure is also rapidly increasing. As a leading enterprise in communication and AI technology, Qualcomm Technologies has always been at the forefront of the industry to drive the future development of modern 5G networks.
Qualcomm Technologies is adding intelligent computing products to its 5G RAN product portfolio to revolutionize processing, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. This series of Arm compatible processors is designed for next-generation open vRAN servers and cost-effective 5G small base stations.
Launch intelligent computing solutions for 5G infrastructure
The launch of Qualcomm's infrastructure processors marks a new era for mobile network operators (MNOs) in terms of high performance and lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and will empower new market participants. The company's new product lineup is a processor combination specifically designed for diverse use cases: in addition to small base station processors used to reduce the cost pressure of 5G deployment in residential, small office, and home office (SOHO) locations, Qualcomm fully utilizes CPU, NPU, and GPU technology expertise to launch vRAN server processors for AI computing. Next, we will provide a detailed introduction to Qualcomm's work on all the important infrastructure scenarios mentioned above.
