Qualcomm Technologies has announced a new world record for 5G performance with its Snapdragon® X75 5G Modem-RF System. The system achieved an impressive downlink speed of 7.5 Gbps on sub-6 GHz spectrum. This accomplishment further demonstrates Qualcomm’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of 5G performance and flexibility.

The speed was achieved through device testing using a 5G standalone (SA) network configuration. It leveraged 300MHz of spectrum and utilized 4x carrier aggregation (4xCA) with 4 TDD channels in one downlink connection, along with 1024 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).

The aggregation of 4 TDD channels allows operators to combine their spectrum assets to achieve higher data rates. Additionally, 1024 QAM improves spectral efficiency, enabling more data to be transmitted in each transmission compared to 256 QAM. This results in increased data throughput and improved spectrum efficiency.

In addition to this new speed record, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X75 5G Modem-RF System also boasts ten other world firsts. These advancements empower better user experiences, faster download speeds, increased network capacity, and improved spectrum efficiency. The system ensures that future devices can handle demanding data applications, such as video streaming, online gaming, and more.

The Snapdragon X75 is currently being sampled to customers, and commercial devices featuring the modem are expected to launch in the second half of 2023. Qualcomm is dedicated to working with industry leaders to enable best-in-class connectivity experiences and transform industries across various sectors, including consumer, enterprise, and industrial use cases.
