Qualcomm QCOM -1.02%↓ last week announced two chipsets that support its recently announced Qualcomm Aware platform that provides real-time asset tracking and device management in remote areas.
The chipsets, 212S Modem and 9205S Modem, are tailored to off-grid industrial use cases that require non-terrestrial network (NTN) connectivity or hybrid connectivity alongside terrestrial networks, the company said. Typical users include and IoT companies, developers, ODMs, and OEMs.
“Earlier this year Qualcomm Technologies announced the Qualcomm Aware platform, a revolutionary solution that allows companies to better monitor and track valuable assets virtually anytime and anywhere around the world,” said Jeff Torrance, Qualcomm’s senior vice president and general manager, connected smart systems, in a statement.
Applications include accessing telemetry and data from water and gas tanks, meters, and other infrastructure equipment, the company said. The modem chipsets, which integrate GNSS for location data, also can be used for utility grid monitoring, early fire detection reporting, on-shore and off-shore mining installations, livestock tracking, global and fleet management.
