COVID-19: Qualcomm India commits USD 1.5 mn to support India's efforts against pandemic

According to a recent study done by <keyword id="104695" type="CITY" weightage="40" keywordseo="Qualcomm">Qualcomm</keyword>, India has emerged as one of the biggest economies, which has an untapped market of female <keyword id="28168" type="TECHNOLOGY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Smartphone">smartphone</keyword> users. India is the second largest developing market in the world for mobile broadband devices. Much of it comprises of men, who use a smartphone. The study states only 30% of the working <keyword id="624" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Women">women</keyword> interviewed were using a smartphones. 
 
Women in India are still using older and outdated techniques of communication according to the study. More than 57% of Indian women purchased a mobile phone more than 2 years ago. This leaves a large gap to be covered that mobile phone vendors can quickly grab by producing women centric smartphones and services. 
 Qualcomm <keyword id="44451" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="report">report</keyword> also says “Among feature phones owners, 36% report they have no plans to buy a smartphone. These women view smartphones as either too complicated (44%) or too expensive (39%). However, many women indicate they would be more inclined to purchase a smartphone if they received lessons on how to use it”. 
 Now the onus of carrying out the task to teach the women and bringing female friendly phones lies on the retailers as well as the makers. DOT should also take note of <keyword id="818773" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="40" keywordseo="The-situation">the situation</keyword> and promote the smartphone culture within Indian working women. It definitely is an extended process, but once subjugated would reap excellent results.

Let’s face it, <keyword id="6354741" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Apps">apps</keyword> are the new gadgets. The Indian developer community is growing rapidly, especially in the mobile segment. There are two dozen new app companies that have come up in the last 9 months in cities like Hyderabad, Noida and Bangalore in India. That is probably why companies like <keyword id="104695" type="CITY" weightage="40" keywordseo="Qualcomm">Qualcomm</keyword> have made it a point to support and explore the opportunities here. We got a glimpse of how the company is supporting the developer community at Qualcomm’s yearly event called Uplinq, which takes place in San Diego every year. 
 
Quite a few Indian developers were at the event, people who had some really good innovations up their sleeves. One of them was the Apalya group, who deals in video-on-demand and live television on the mobile platform. Backed by the Qualcomm developer initiative, heads at Apalya are nearly ready with a ‘video and movies on demand’ module for your television set that can be ordered using your mobile phone. 
 Similar proposals are being taken up and <keyword id="355914" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Qualcomm-India">Qualcomm India</keyword> wants to bring the community closer to their finished products. Talking about the initiative, <keyword id="1632325" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="40" keywordseo="Sandeep-Sibal">Sandeep Sibal</keyword>, Country Manager of Qualcomm India, emphasised that the company is constantly looking for new talent in the developer community and providing them with Qualcomm equipment and chipsets to help them achieve their goals. In turn, <keyword id="818742" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="40" keywordseo="The-move">the move</keyword> will bring a more aggressive and determined workforce to the table who can develop new apps and software for various segments. 
 We hope to see a developer event soon in India where Qualcomm will invite various such groups to participate and bring new ideas to the <keyword id="236732" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Kingdom">kingdom</keyword> of apps and more. This will be a good platform for like-minded people to meet and exchange ideas.

Qualcomm announces a new Internet of Things suite, aimed at smart cities and connected spaces

New Delhi, Jan 21 () US-based Qualcomm on Tuesday said 4G will continue to be relevant over the next few years and unveiled a new lineup of mobile chipsets for 4G smartphones in the country.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G, 662 and 460 promise to offer enhanced user experiences across connectivity, gaming and entertainment. 
"While we see a fast adoption of 5G across geographies globally, we do recognise the phenomenal boost that 4G has given towards enabling broadband connectivity for Indian consumers. 4G will stay relevant for quite sometime," Rajen Vagadia, vice-president and president, Qualcomm India, said.
He added that for regions like India, 4G will stay a key technology for connectivity.
"Our goal is to enable our partners to continue creating solutions that offer seamless connectivity access and exceptional mobile experiences," he said.
Asked about 5G, Vagadia said smartphones powered by the latest technology should make their way into the Indian market in the first half of this year. 
While these smartphones are expected to be available in the mid and premium range, they would become more affordable as they get more affordable, he said adding that roll out of 5G networks would also be an important factor. 
The new chipsets unveiled on Tuesday - which will be deployed by handset makers on smartphones across various price points - are designed to enable fast 4G connectivity speeds, deliver key Wi-Fi 6 features and integrated Bluetooth 5.1 with advanced audio via the Qualcomm FastConnect 6-series subsystems and support Dual-Frequency (L1 and L5) GNSS to improve location positioning accuracy and robustness.
These are also the first system-on-chip solutions to support Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC).
Developed by Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro), NavIC is the Indian version of GPS. Apart from popular GPS, there are other satellite navigation systems like GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou. 
Chinese smartphone brands Xiaomi and Realme said they will soon launch devices with NavIC support, based on these new Snapdragon chipsets.
 "The availability of NavIC across multiple mobile platforms will help enhance the geolocation capabilities of smartphones in the region and bring the benefits of this indigenous solution to Indian consumers for their day-to-day use," ISRO Chairman K Sivan said. SR MR
