Qualcomm’s leadership in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth continues to be an integral part of its mobile platforms via the Qualcomm® FastConnect™ 6900 sub-system which is included in the recently announced flagship Snapdragon® 8 Gen 1 mobile platform. But this expertise developed for mobile is applicable to a range of evolving categories, including new types of PCs, devices that support Extended Reality (XR) experiences, and mobile gaming, which has surpassed desktop and console gaming in terms of market share.
In this podcast, Qualcomm Atheros Inc.’s Tim McCarthy, senior director of product management, discusses the importance of FastConnect to the company’s current portfolio of products as well as how it figures into a recently -articulated 10-year growth plan that applies mobile technologies to new market areas like compute, XR, gaming and more.
