Qualcomm drives 5G expansion to enhance broadband access in India

Qualcomm is leading the deployment of 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) in India, powering nearly 80% of connections. This technology is improving broadband access in underserved areas, addressing the country's low fixed broadband penetration. The company anticipates significant growth in wireless data consumption and internet subscribers over the next five years, driven by 5G expansion. Key advancements, including the use of the 3.5 GHz spectrum, are making broadband deployment faster and more cost-effective. Qualcomm's Chennai design center is crucial for developing wireless connectivity solutions, including Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7. This facility supports global innovation and aligns with India's "Make in India" initiative, enhancing Qualcomm's role in the digital economy.
