QCOM• Qualcomm sets 6G strategy around AI-native networks
- Qualcomm set a 6G strategy centered on AI-native networks, targeting “AI everywhere” use cases across devices, networks, and edge computing.
- Planning calls for 6G connectivity to build on 5G NR foundations, aiming to protect standards-essential IP value through the transition.
- Development focus targets measurable gains in uplink, bandwidth, coverage, and energy efficiency to support AI-driven services at scale.
- Research agenda emphasizes three pillars—connectivity, computing, sensing—positioning networks to process data and support AI workloads.
- Qualcomm expects foundational connectivity IP to remain central to licensing economics as 3GPP Release 21 shapes the 6G baseline.
