Qualcomm has announced that it will provide SpaceX with Dragonwing solutions for cellular infrastructure. These include the QRU100 and QDU100 platforms, designed for radio signal processing and base station operations.

The network is set to utilise Massive MIMO technology with 64 transmit and 64 receive channels. This technology enables increased throughput, improved coverage and more efficient use of the radio spectrum.

Starlink Mobile states that it is building an integrated nationwide network combining satellite and ground-based infrastructure to provide mobile phone connectivity across the widest possible range of conditions.

Elon Musk praised the technology partner, writing: “Qualcomm’s technology is superb.”

Qualcomm also noted that the collaboration with SpaceX creates a commercial foundation for the further development of 6G infrastructure using artificial intelligence. However, the initial phase of the project is focused on the roll-out of a 5G network.
