Qualcomm builds superfast modems to bring better Mobile VR experiences. The new Snapdragon X16 LTE modem is capable of reaching download speeds up to 1 Gbps.
Virtual reality brings a unique experience for consuming visual content like no other medium. Viewers can totally immerse themselves in different places, or situations they haven’t been into before. But everything comes with a cost. Higher quality of visual content needs higher data speeds to be transferred over the internet.
At the 4G/5G Summit in Hong Kong today, Qualcomm announced a joint project with Telstra, Ericsson and Netgear on the world’s first commercial LTE device Snapdragon X16 LTE modem, capable of reaching download speeds up to 1 Gbps.

Higher data speeds mean better VR experiences for mobile devices
Gigabit Wi-Fi connectivity removes the barrier of bandwith and enables use cases like bringing high quality 360-degree videos for both smartphone and VR consumption. Such high level connectivity is also considered as a key component that paves the way for 5G technology — speeds up to 10 gigabits per second.
