Qualcomm was an early proponent of millimeter wave (mmWave), doing the engineering work that has brought high-band 5G support to cellular devices. CEO Cristiano Amon remains bullish on mmWave adoption based on comments at the Snapdragon Tech Summit this week. And, in his opening keynote, Amon stressed the importance of multi-Gbps uplink speeds which were demonstrated in a live mmWave-based 8K, HDR video call from Hawaii to Verizon CTO Kyle Malady at the carrier’s headquarters in New Jersey.
