Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 adds Category 9 Carrier Aggregation
The Category 9 support makes the Snapdragon 810 processor the first Qualcomm Technologies premium-tier processor to feature a fully-integrated 64-bit multicore CPU and LTE-Advanced multimode modem to support up to 3 x 20 MHz Category 9 Carrier Aggregation, as well as aggregation across FDD and TDD carriers. This brings the latest advances in performance and connectivity to mobile computing for superior user experiences supported by faster downloads, quicker application performance and improved power efficiency. The Snapdragon 810 processor with Category 9 support is anticipated to be available to our customers in early 2015.
Category 9 capabilities have been validated with Snapdragon 810 processor-based tests conducted with multiple commercial network and test equipment companies, as well as an over-the-air demonstration in a commercial network environment. Utilizing devices powered by the Snapdragon 810 processor, each test successfully demonstrated the support of 3x Carrier Aggregation with three LTE component carriers, each with a bandwidth of up to 20 MHz, allowing for Category 9 peak data rates of up to 450 Mbps in the downlink.
The LTE-Advanced modem is backwards compatible with all major cellular standards and technologies supported by 4G LTE including GSM/EDGE, CDMA1x/EVDO, TD-SCDMA and WCDMA/HSPA+.
