Keen to talk about its 100 other design wins

While the Tame Apple Press has made a big thing about Intel’s winning of a slice of the iPhone modem production, Qualcomm is keen to talk about all the other orders it has won this year.

Qualcomm is announcing that they have “secured more than 100 design wins” of their IoT-focused chipsets that are being used by more than 60 different original equipment manufacturers around the globe.

These chipset designs are based on Qualcomm’s MDM9x07-1 Modem, which are made up of two separate modems including the Qualcomm Snapdragon X5LTE Modem and the MDM9207-1 Modem that is used for the Internet of Things.

Qualcomm states that these modems were designed to offer a flexible use case with a focus on security, but are also optimized for “cellular connectivity and edge processing,” and that they can be used for a wide range of different IoT connected devices and systems across smart cities, commercial applications, and industrial designs.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X5LTE modem is capable of support for LTE Category 4 as well as download speeds of up to 150Mbps. The other modem which makes up Qualcomm’s MDM9x07-1 modem, which is the MDM9207-1, is capable of support for LTE Category 1 and up to 10Mbps downlink speeds.

Qualcomm said it will be showing off its latest modems at the Mobile World Congress Shanghai between 29 June and 1 July.
