Qualcomm Building An Intelligent Wireless Network; Launches Snapdragon 710!

The American chip-making giant Qualcomm is working on building an intelligent wireless network that can transform the world. The company is trying to develop devices which can talk to each other for a seamless transition, configure and protect itself against any threat.

The company also launched its latest Snapdragon 710 mobile platform which will come with neural processing capabilities and a multi-core AI engine on board. Being the first mobile platform in the 700-tier portfolio, Snapdragon 710 will have neural networking and AI features to boost up entry-premium and mid-range Android flagships.

Intelligent Wireless Network: The Future Of WiFi

Qualcomm is helping to build an intelligent wireless network where all the content can be delivered wirelessly, anytime and anywhere. A wireless network which will take care of itself and will need no user intervention. The intelligent Wi-Fi network will come with self-configuring features within the routers, extenders and other supported devices.

This network can auto-discover and can configure itself without any management. The company is trying to build a network with performance optimisation and self-control which will automatically reconfigure when a problem arises, by defending itself against any threat.

The network will learn on its own and will adapt to the user’s behaviour with the use of IoT and AI.
