At its CES 2022 conference, Qualcomm chief Cristiano Amon described how 5G will serve homes as well as businesses, and pave the way for wireless fiber.
At its CES 2022 conference, Qualcomm made a ton of announcements. The company is partnering with Microsoft to make chips for smart glasses during the same year that Apple’s own headset is rumored to hit the market. Qualcomm also showed off its solutions for next-gen vehicles that will take in-car infotainment to the next level.
5G as a universal technology Taking to the stage, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon made a self-admittedly bold statement that 5G, including mmWave, is a universal last-mile technology that will go beyond just connecting phones, PCs, extended reality wearables, gaming hardware, and smart IoT devices. Amon shared the example of a small business operating in a confined space.
Say hello to wireless fiber over 5G The Qualcomm chief added that he envisions a world where 5G exists alongside Wi-Fi as a direct broadband access medium. And one of the company’s first partners in achieving that goal is AT&T, as the two are working on something the carrier calls Wireless Fiber. “All around … at home, work, and on the go, customer demand for connectivity is accelerating.
5G streaming, gaming, and yes….metaverse Qualcomm’s faith in 5G does make a lot of sense, especially considering the diverse areas it is now catering to. And 5G, particularly in its mmWave band, opens the doors for high-resolution content streaming and cloud-based gaming facilitated by the likes of Google Stadia, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and Nvidia GeForce Now.
The metaverse, with all its potential immersive internet experiences facilitated by AR and VR devices, will need an enabler like 5G to create those virtual worlds that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has so boldly promised. And then there is the future of connected automobiles, which will certainly tap into the potential of fast cellular connectivity to provide luxuries like a high-resolution, in-cabin multimedia experience.
