Qualcomm introduces two more modem chipsets
One of the biggest names in the mobile processor world, Qualcomm, continues to make moves to increase its power in the industry.
Semiconductor and telecommunications equipment titan, Qualcomm, has recently unveiled its launch of two modem chips, specifically the 212S and 9205S. Developed to address the escalating needs of both the enterprise Internet of Things (IoT) and the blossoming satellite industry, these chips provide more than what is typically expected from Qualcomm's repertoire. They bring hybrid connectivity to the table, while maintaining ultra-low power consumption. Complying with the 3GPP Release 17 standard, they prove ideal for ground synchronous orbit (GEO/GSO) satellite communication and offer support for global positioning capabilities (GPS).
The 9205S chip has already made its way to the market, promoting uninterrupted connectivity between IoT devices and an amalgamation of cellular and satellite networks. This synergy enables the delivery of precise positioning data through the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Thus, it is anticipated to have numerous applications across various sectors, ranging from tracking maritime containers and supervising agricultural equipment and livestock, to managing global fleets and goods transportation within supply chain operations.

Conversely, the 212S chip, scheduled for release later in the year, is crafted for applications stationed at long distances with fixed locations. Qualcomm indicates that this chip excels in optimizing battery use, extending the lifespan of the device, and is adept at tasks such as gathering telemetry data from water and fuel reservoirs, meters, and other crucial infrastructure equipment. It is also ideal for tasks like public grid monitoring and early fire detection reporting.
Both chips employ the Qualcomm Aware platform, a tool that offers real-time asset tracking and device management services in remote regions. Collaborating with the NTN service provider Skylo, the Qualcomm Aware platform ensures an optimized integration for these chips, amplifying their functionality and performance.
