The Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 5G modem was expected to be found in next-generation handsets, but the company has found a way to make use of in other ventures. In short, it has announced a solution that will allow non-smartphone devices to take advantage of 5G speeds too. Introduced today, the new home gateway reference design will make use of the ultra-fast Snapdragon X55 modem to make it possible for internet service providers to deliver speeds that beat those offered by fiber optics.

The new solution integrates 5G and Wi-Fi 6 to provide Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) home gateways. It will now be possible to configure the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 modem and the Networking Pro 1200 platform to support sub-6GHz networks and enable longer range communication and high speeds. So far, most of the 5G development has been focused on smartphones, but with Qualcomm’s new solution, it will be possible to enjoy 5G speeds on other devices such as televisions and PCs wirelessly.
