Qualcomm Technologies and Aramco Digital have announced a groundbreaking collaboration to develop the world's first AI-enabled industrial 5G smartphones with native support for the 450MHz spectrum. This partnership aims to revolutionize industrial applications with advanced connectivity and AI capabilities.
The new smartphones, powered by Qualcomm's QCM8550 and QCM6490 processors, will provide ubiquitous connectivity to intelligent edge devices, enabling superior communication and data transfer in industrial settings. The 450MHz support will allow 5G IoT devices, edge computing, and end-users to connect to a new generation of AI-enabled industrial applications.
This collaboration is expected to drive industrial transformation across various sectors, particularly in Saudi Arabia, where Aramco is headquartered. The new smartphones will support Aramco's existing Generative AI industrial IoT solutions, which are already improving operational safety, efficiency, and sustainability at Aramco sites.
"At Aramco Digital, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of technological innovation. This collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, introducing the world's first AI-enabled industrial smartphone with 450MHz support, represents a significant milestone in our journey to empower industries with next-generation connectivity," said Eid Alharbi, Connectivity President, Aramco Digital.
