Qualcomm is showing off a new platform that may improve the reliability and availability of 5G home internet service.
The Ultra Gen 3 Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) platform is based on Snapdragon X75.
All the benefits of Snapdragon X75 are included in Ultra Gen 3 FWA.

Artificial intelligence is also at the core of the Ultra Gen 3 FWA platform.
Interestingly, Ultra Gen 3 FWA supports both 10GbE and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity by default.
It also uses a simpler design than the previous, non-ultra Gen 3 FWA platform.
The Qualcomm Ultra Gen 3 FWA platform should have a substantial impact on wireless communications.
Yes, the Snapdragon X75’s enhanced carrier aggregation capabilities may provide a small boost in speed.
But substantial improvements in 5G speed will always be limited by carriers and their infrastructure.
Carriers should begin offering Ultra Gen 3 FWA-powered 5G modems by late 2024.
The underlying Snapdragon X75 platform is already used by some smartphones, such as theSamsung Galaxy S24.
