Qualcomm has teamed up with Telstra, Ericsson, and NETGEAR, for world’s first Gigabit Class LTE mobile device and network. The device is the NETGEAR Mobile Router MR1100, which uses the Snapdragon X16 LTE modem designed to deliver Gigabit Class LTE connectivity as well as Qualcomm Wi-Fi solutions designed to achieve Gigabit Wi-Fi.
The NETGEAR Mobile Router MR1100 takes advantage of several LTE Advanced technologies, including 3x carrier aggregation, 4×4 MIMO, and 256-QAM to boost download speeds up to a peak of 979 Mbps. It also uses the Qualcomm 802.11ac solution with 2×2 MIMO and dual-band support for overall Wi-Fi throughput of up to 1Gbps. The dual-band support is designed to allow the router to serve devices on both 2.4- and 5-GHz bands simultaneously, so that more Wi-Fi devices can take advantage of the fastest speeds available.
Moreover, Qualcomm said the next-generation Snapdragon 800 SoC will feature the X16 modem, making it compatible with gigabit-class networks. The SoC is expected to be introduced in the first half of 2017. Telstra is expected to make the NETGEAR MR1100 available to its leading customers in the next few months. The mobile router will operate on Telstra’s Gigabit-ready network, which is enabled by Ericsson.
