Qualcomm has a strong layout in areas such as drones.
The global drone market will grow from $2 billion today to $127 billion, fuelled by consumer, logistics, defense, photography, agriculture and enterprise markets, where demand for drones is growing sharply.
Qualcomm has long been interested in the drone market and continues to inject fresh vitality into the market. In the second half of last year, Qualcomm completed its own unmanned reference design, the Snapdragon Flight (Snapdragon aircraft, which is said to be superior to other drones in high-definition video, navigation and communications. The Snapdragon Flight is based on the Snapdragon 801 and is the first time Qualcomm has brought its own smartphone chip to drones.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip will play many key roles in Snapdragon Flight UAV. For example, its DSP digital signal processor, as a real-time controller, brings GPS global satellite navigation receiver, supports dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections, and provides wired fast charging support, real-time processing of 4K video, and support for various sensors such as barometers. [Qualcomm's strong layout in areas such as drones] as Qualcomm's strategy is similar to that of the mobile phone market, that is, announcing a complete set of software solutions and SDK development tools, the platform can quickly build its own low-cost drones for both drone enthusiasts and OEM hardware manufacturers, with amazing potential.
In the past few years, the development of drones has skyrocketed, and many fields have started to use drones to do all kinds of crazy things, such as delivering food, fishing, recording aerial shows and catching thieves. Qualcomm's entry into the drone market is undoubtedly a smart move, as the capabilities that drones can provide so far are limited, especially in terms of high-fidelity visual experience or smart technology.
Qualcomm's intervention will not only change the drone market, achieve rapid manufacturing and production of drones with powerful hardware, help drones reduce their size and enhancements, and reduce prices to affordable. Qualcomm is more profitable from it. Intel, MediaTek and other chip makers have not yet seen significant growth in this area, and ironically, Yuneec, Intel, Qualcomm's first drone partner in China, is one of the investors.
