Aquantia announced it is working closely with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., to support the design and optimization of next generation 5G NR fixed wireless access broadband equipment for high-speed Internet delivery to the customer premises. The customer premises equipment (CPE) platform will feature the Aquantia AQtion Multi-Gig Ethernet Controllers AQC107 (10GbE) and AQC111C (5GbE), which can be used in conjunction with the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X55 5G modem available from Qualcomm Technologies. Deployment in the United States is slated for the first half of 2020 and Aquantia has supplied samples of the reference design to early customers. By creating a wireless service model using 5G NR technology, this CPE platform provides an alternate method to deliver Multi-Gig Internet service to consumers. The CPE platform offers a cost effective and efficient way to deliver improved Internet service in areas where laying new cables or fiber deployment is not practical. The delivery of 5G connectivity into the home, through the AQC107 and AQC111C will enable Internet-connected devices in the home to access rich media applications at lightning-fast speeds.
