For connectivity performance, SC153 supports both 5G standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) network architectures, delivering maximum downlink speeds of 2.3 Gbps in SA mode and 2.5 Gbps in EN-DC mode. These capabilities enable stable, efficient data transmission for applications including high-definition video, industrial equipment and smart devices.

Flexible Design Meets Diverse Device Requirements

To support the rapid evolution of smart devices, customers need not only communications performance but also greater flexibility in hardware design and software development.

SC153 uses an LGA package and provides a wide range of interfaces, including MIPI display, MIPI camera, USB 3.1, UART, I²C and SD, while flexibly supporting Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 configurations to meet the design requirements of different device form factors.

SC153 also supports the Android operating system, providing a more flexible platform for software development, application expansion and device customization.

With its high-speed connectivity and development flexibility, SC153 can help customers develop a new generation of wireless products for smart devices, industrial equipment and high-speed data applications.

Working with Ecosystem Partners to Advance Device Innovation

Edward Ai, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Qualcomm Technologies, said:.

"5G and application processing capabilities are converging at an accelerating pace, creating more opportunities for product innovation in next-generation smart devices. Qualcomm Dragonwing platforms are designed to provide device manufacturers with platform capabilities for intelligent edge devices. We look forward to further strengthening our collaboration with Fibocom and extending advanced platform capabilities to more smart device applications."

Thales Zhang, Vice President and Head of the Global Marketing and Computing Business Group at Fibocom, said:

"As smart device form factors become increasingly diverse, customers are placing greater demands on 5G connectivity and device development efficiency. SC153 is an important addition to Fibocom's portfolio for next-generation 5G smart devices. We aim to leverage Qualcomm's advanced platform to translate new connectivity capabilities more quickly into devices that customers can deploy."

Looking ahead, Fibocom will continue working with industry ecosystem partners to accelerate the deployment of 5G connectivity across a broader range of smart devices.
