Semtech recently unveiled two additions to its 5G broadband module portfolio: the EM9492 module, the first 5G module powered by the Qualcomm X85 Modem-RF latest generation platform; and the EM9295 module, a cost-optimised 5G solution powered by the Qualcomm X61 5G Modem-RF System. These latest solutions represent Semtech’s and Qualcomm’s advancement in 5G technology, addressing diverse performance and cost optimisation needs.
“Our customers are architecting the future of a smarter, more connected planet – and we are strengthening our commitment to their success. By advancing our high-performance semiconductors, IoT systems and Cloud connectivity services, we are working shoulder-to-shoulder with industry partners to transform their boldest ideas into reality. These partnerships, combined with our continued investment in sustainable technologies, is how we are creating a better-connected tomorrow,” commented Hong Hou, President and CEO, Semtech.
“We are excited to collaborate with Semtech on their new 5G broadband modules through integrating our Qualcomm X85 and X61 in their EM9492 and EM9295,” added Gautam Sheoran, Vice President and General Manager, Wireless Broadband and Communications, Qualcomm Technologies. “Semtech is delivering cutting-edge 5G capabilities and cost-effective solutions contributing to the acceleration of deployment of advanced 5G solutions across various industries.”
The newly unveiled EM9294 module is Semtech’s third-generation 5G broadband solution and brings to market the first 5G module based on the Qualcomm X85 5G Modem-RF. This platform is based on 3GPP Release 18, supporting 5G Advanced, the next step in the evolution of the technology.
It is designed to enable 5G applications for routers, gateways and video surveillance, with features such as dual-SIM dual active (DSDA) and artificial intelligence (AI) on-chip processing.
The EM9295 module, powered by Qualcomm X61, offers cost-optimised 5G connectivity designed for broader 5G adoption. Supporting 3GPP Release 16, the module delivers download speeds of up to 2.5Gbps over sub-6GHz bands. This solution is designed for use cases that require an optimised balance of cost, performance and functionality, making 5G technology accessible for value-focused applications.
