Working closely with Qualcomm Technologies (QTI) the first public demonstrations were featured as a part a recent QTI Redefining Connectivity event in Beijing and a QTI product showcase during Computex in Taipei. The test set up utilized two Rohde & Schwarz CMW500 wideband radio communication testers and CMWC multi-CMW controller.
The demonstrations included:
- The first live demonstration of uplink Carrier Aggregation (CA) on a commercial modem chipset, the Snapdragon X12 LTE modem, showcasing a doubling of LTE TDD upload speeds in UL/DL configuration 1, in which the CMW500 was used as an eNode B simulator. Enhanced uplink throughput supports faster sharing of high-quality photos and videos, and faster file uploads to cloud storage.
- First live demonstration of Category 9 LTE-Advanced three component CA (3xCA) on a commercial device powered by the Snapdragon 810 processor with X10 LTE; demonstration showed peak LTE TDD download speeds of up to 320 Mbps utilizing the CMW500 for real internet connection.
- First live demonstration of the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 425 processor with X8 LTE, showcasing Category 6 LTE-Advanced two component CA (2xCA), doubling LTE download speeds up to 300 Mbps, and bringing premium-tier quality performance to high volume mobile devices.
