Qualcomm 5G NR Solution for Small Cells out
 

FSM100xx industry’s first

Qualcomm has announced the industry’s first 5G NR solution targeted for small cells and remote radio head deployments (FSM100xx).

The FSM100xx 10nm 5G Solution supports both sub-6GHz and mmWave Spectrum Bands and is optimized for Small Cell and Remote Radio Head Deployments. This new small cell product will support 5G NR in both mmWave and sub-6 GHz spectrum building up from the successful FSM Platform for 3G and 4G small cell.
Small cell densification, which is already under way for 4G, is likewise expected to be a critical component of 5G network deployments and FSM100xx readies the industry to develop powerful and uniform 5G user experiences, taking advantage of the full range of 5G spectrum types.

The solution has been designed to let OEMs re-use both software and hardware designs across sub-6 GHz and mmWave products supporting high bandwidth and robust coverage for mobile subscribers around the globe.

It is interesting to mention that the FSM100xx is manufactured in 10nm and Fudzilla has already reported that the Snapdragon X50 5G NR modem comes in the same 10nm manufacturing node. As you should know by now 10nm will enable superior power consumption and performance for the critical outdoor deployment and overcoming challenging indoor scenarios.
