Qualcomm unveils its X85 5G modem-RF, Dragonwing cellular infrastructure platform for 5G O-RAN, and Dragonwing 5G Advanced FWA platform.

Qualcomm is using Mobile World Congress to showcase its growing diversification, and the new Dragonwing brand shows how serious it is about winning in industrial markets.

The rest of the smartphone world doesn’t seem to mind buying Qualcomm’s modems, which hold a dominant market share, especially when you only consider high-end phones like the ones Apple makes.
