Through 5G networking technology, the world is moving towards a more connected world. Now, the latest 5G modem from Qualcomm aims to help boost connectivity in the industrial and agricultural sectors.
The chip making giant recently announced the new 315 5G IoT Modem that aims to connect various machinery and robots and even enable high tech tractors in the fields as well. This new chipset 5G modem was announced earlier this week and is the first chip from the company that aims to link internet connecter devices to the new and faster 5G networking. The new modem is being aimed at industrial and agricultural sectors, and by its extensions, automation, and manufacturing.
Furthermore, the 315 5G Modem also has potential applications in other segments as well, including construction, energy, mining, public venues, and retail. An example being, a stadium owner could simply install the 315 5G IoT to boost connectivity and overall coverage to every person attending. Similarly, tractor manufacturers can also use this modem to enable more precise data collection in the fields.
The 315 arrives as Qualcomm attempts to address the needs of its industrial customers. This modem arrives with a low power processor, which means that machines can run cooler in hot warehouses. Additionally, it also has a smaller size compared to the ones it sells to consumer devices. In other words, it would make it easier for industrial companies to easily switch from 4G chips to the newer 5G modems without having to radically redesign their machines.
