BARCELONA–Qualcomm is a major force in not just the modems and other components that power smartphones but also in the processes that gives us standards like Wi-Fi, LTE and 5G NR. Given that pedigree, coupled with the massive opportunities associated with supporting the expansion of the internet of things, it’s only natural the San Diego-based company is leveraging its mobility expertise to drive digital transformation in high-value verticals.
This week during Mobile World Congress Barcelona, Qualcomm made a number of announcements that speak to its increasingly diversified products and market reach, including a research partnership with German industrial giant Bosch, a new platform for industrial robotics, and new Wi-Fi and cellular-based products for in-vehicle connectivity.
