Advanced mmWave
The sheer available bandwidth and corresponding capacity of 5G mmWave has positioned it as the long-term workhorse for otherwise capacity-constrained, user-dense locations like stadia and transit hubs. To facilitate further deployment, Qualcomm is focused on extending the reach of 5G mmWave through the use of repeaters and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces.
Qualcomm Senior Director of Technology Ozge Koymen talked through enhancements to the company’s mmWave network at its California headquarters and called out feature enhancements like multi-user MIMO that increase system capacity to support emerging use cases like Extended Reality (XR). “But on top of that,” he said, “we want to make this cost-effective.”
