5G is much more than higher peak rates—it needs to enable new classes of services, connect new devices and industries, and empower new user experiences while fully leveraging 4G investments. The envisioned unified platform needs to support all spectrum, below 6 GHz as well as above 6 GHz and mmWave.
Members of the 5G team at Qualcomm Research describe how they are designing a 5G unified air interface that will meet the significantly expanded connectivity needs of the next decade and beyond.
Much more than just faster peak rates, Qualcomm is building a unified, more capable 5G platform to connect new industries, enable new services and empower new user experiences.
Qualcomm is paving the path to 5G today with a rich roadmap of advancements called LTE Advanced Pro that will not only further enhance your smartphone experience, but also proliferate LTE to connect the world around you.
LTE Advanced Pro (3GPP Release 13 & beyond) delivers many optimizations for connecting the Interenet of Things (IoT), significantly reducing cost/complexity, increasing battery life, and enhancing coverage. LTE IoT introduces two new IoT-optimized technologies, eMTC and NB-IoT, that will enable a wide range of use cases, providing ubiquitous coverage, scalability, high reliability, and robust security.
Perhaps the most exciting thing about 5G is that we're designing a new wireless network fabric, unlocking potential for a host of services that we haven't even imagined yet. John Smee, VP of Engineering explains.

The next step in cellular technology, 5G, is demonstrated here by Qualcomm. It is in the research phase, and the current application shown involves the broadcasting of RF power to a moving target at a frequency of 28GHz. A major limitation of 5G is the easy dissipation of the signal when faced with even minor obstructions, which Qualcomm aims to overcome by installing multiple towers and handing over users between them.
