At CES 2022, Sr. Director of Product Management Gajinder Vij discusses Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and powerline communication in the Snapdragon Digital Chassis.
Qualcomm has a strong legacy in wireless communication, with over 30 years in cellular leadership, 20 years in Wi-Fi, and about 10 years in powerline communication.
What exactly is powerline communication? When it comes to automotive, it’s used for electric vehicle charging communication. Powerline communication allows your charger to connect to the car, communicate with it, and decide how much current to push to the vehicle.
Qualcomm has a comprehensive portfolio of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth solutions, including Wi-Fi 6 and 6E, that’s now being extended to automotive. The premium Wi-Fi experiences you see in your office or living room are now offered inside your vehicle. This includes web browsing and email, wireless phone projection, video streaming, gaming, video chat, and more. Our Bluetooth solutions enable hand-free voice calling, music streaming through car speakers using Qualcomm aptX HD Audio, and wireless headsets.
Inside the Snapdragon Digital Chassis, you’ll find the Qualcomm QCA6698AQ, a Wi-Fi 6E 4-Stream Dual Band Simultaneous plus Bluetooth version 5.3 combination chip for automotive applications. Designed to address the challenges of today’s automotive ecosystem, the Qualcomm QCA6698AQ is engineered to deliver rich in-vehicle entertainment, exceptional audio experiences, and to dramatically increase bandwidth for concurrent Wi-Fi applications.
More bandwidth available means more to do with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in the car, like faster downloads, more devices, and higher audio fidelity with Bluetooth 5.3 and aptX.
