Qualcomm unveils purpose-built IoT modem
Last year Qualcomm Technologies unveiled its first , purpose-built IoT modem solution equipped with 5G connectivity and optimised for IIoT applications . The Qualcomm ® 315 5G IoT Modem-RF System is a comprehensive modem-to-antenna solution designed to support the IoT ecosystem in building upgradeable LTE and 5G devices for IoT verticals , accelerate the adoption of 5G connectivity for IoT , and expand the overall opportunity for 5G in the IoT industry .
Another tie-up has seen Telefónica Tech and Grupo Álava sign a strategic agreement to launch jointly a predictive maintenance solution that will provide industrial companies with an advanced data platform with which to optimise their activity by being able to anticipate possible faults or defects in machinery through a predictive maintenance plan .
The solution will allow industrial companies to digitise their maintenance processes by mass wireless and / or traditional sensing of all their assets in the production chain , not only those of high value ( rotary engines , reciprocating machinery , electrical transformers ).
The data generated will be collected by sensors , connected through Telefónica Tech ’ s LTE and 5G mobile networks , stored and processed in Industrial Edge Computing technology , and will be accessible through a platform , from which operators will have indications based on artificial intelligence capabilities to better manage the health of production process machinery , extending its useful life and optimising maintenance costs .
Yago Sanchez , Director of Alliances at Grupo Álava , said the combination of 5G technologies and predictive technology allows different industries to take a giant step forward in the digitisation of industrial processes .
“ We understand that this union offers guarantees to our current and future customers to improve their competitiveness in the international market , thanks to the adoption of process digitalisation solutions , predictive maintenance of assets , digital twins , improvement of end product quality and a large number of other contributions that we can make to their business ,” he said . miningglobal . com 81
