According to a recent press release, “Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, today announced two new critically important elements of the Qualcomm® Network designed to deliver simple, consistent and seamless connected experiences. As network complexity and expectations skyrocket at the hands of insatiable consumer demand, Qualcomm Technologies is introducing a suite of features, for deployment across IoT devices, IoT hubs, and network gateways, that centralize and manage the complex and diverse connectivity technologies and ecosystems – the Qualcomm® Network IoT Connectivity platform. Additionally, Qualcomm Technologies is further broadening the capabilities of its award winning Qualcomm® Wi-Fi Self Organizing Network (SON) solution to help ensure the best managed network possible.”

The release goes on, “The growth of IoT services and smart home devices has, until now, created islands of products rendered incompatible by conflicting connectivity technologies, communication protocols, and software frameworks. Building upon the success of Qualcomm Technologies’ device-focused IoT solutions, such as the QCA401x and QCA4531, the Qualcomm Network IoT Connectivity platform is designed to help ensure, for the first time, compatible and simultaneous use of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, CSRmesh™ connectivity, and 802.15.4-based technologies across a network. The Qualcomm Network IoT Connectivity platform also supports previously announced communication protocols, cloud services and software frameworks, allowing it to act as a universal translator. By connecting previously disparate product portfolios and ecosystems, the Qualcomm Network IoT Connectivity platform significantly minimizes complexity and eases fragmentation challenges for manufacturers, developers and consumers.”
