In its second-quarter earnings call, Qualcomm
revealed it started sampling gigabit LTE chips. The first 4G devices with 1Gbps connectivity are expected to hit the market later this year, with more products to follow in 2017.
Cristiano Amon - EVP, Qualcomm Technologies:
To your question on gigabit LTE; gigabit LTE I think we already sampled some of the first products of gigabit LTE, you are going to see this in product throughout next calendar year, maybe some of the early products could come as early as this calendar year. And you need a three or four carrier aggregation to be able to do this. One important thing is, you have a lot of carriers today doing three carrier aggregation today. I think that plus four carrier aggregation, you can get to gigabit speeds.
