Business Wire
Intel today announced substantial advances in its wireless
product roadmap to accelerate the adoption of 5G. Highlights
include the introduction of the Intel® XMM™ 8000 series, Intel’s
first family of 5G new radio (5G NR) multi-mode commercial modems,
and Intel’s latest LTE modem, the Intel® XMM™ 7660. Intel also
announced it has successfully completed a full end-to-end 5G call
based on its early 5G silicon, the Intel® 5G Modem – a key
milestone in its development. Finally, the Intel® XMM™ 7560 modem
unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2017 has achieved gigabit-class
speeds.

“Intel is committed to delivering leading 5G multi-mode modem
technology and making sure the transition to 5G is smooth,” said
Dr. Cormac Conroy, Intel corporate vice president and general
manager of the Communication and Devices Group. “Our investments in
a full portfolio of modem technologies and products are critical to
achieving the vision of seamless 5G connectivity.”
Press Kit: 5G at Intel
5G is more than the device, it requires a cloud-ready,
virtualized 5G network. Intel is unique in bringing the network,
cloud and clients together in a powerful end-to-end 5G
solution.
“Today’s wireless networks are the equivalent of data driving
down a single-lane highway; tomorrow’s will need to serve as a
multilane superhighway as data moves at warp speed with 5G
networks,” said Sandra Rivera, Intel senior vice president and
general manager of the Network Platforms Group. “Our roadmap
progress shows how Intel is moving at gigabit speeds to help the
industry create this superhighway and benefit from the speed,
capacity and low latency that 5G promises.”
A summary of Intel’s wireless roadmap updates includes:
- Intel XMM 8000 series: Intel’s
family of commercial 5G multi-mode modems, operating in both sub-6
GHz and millimeter wave global spectrum bands. The series will
enable a range of devices to connect to 5G networks – from PCs and
phones to fixed wireless consumer premise equipment (CPE) and even
vehicles.
- Intel® XMM™ 8060: Intel’s first
commercial 5G modem is capable of delivering multi-mode support for
the full 5G non-standalone and standalone NR, as well as various
2G, 3G (including CDMA) and 4G legacy modes. Expected to ship in
commercial customer devices in mid-2019, the Intel XMM 8060 will
accelerate deployment of 5G-ready devices prior to anticipated
broad deployment of 5G networks in 2020.
- Intel XMM 7660: Intel’s latest
LTE modem delivers Cat-19 capabilities and supports speeds up to
1.6 gigabits per second. This powerful LTE modem features advanced
multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), carrier aggregation and
a broad range of band support. It will ship in commercial devices
in 2019.
Additionally, Intel is helping set the pace for the industry
with the Intel® 5G Modem. Announced at CES 2017, Intel’s early 5G
silicon is successfully making calls over the 28GHz band. Along
with the Intel® Mobile Trial Platform, Intel technology is at the
heart of dozens of trials around the world, giving Intel and the
industry valuable learnings about the technologies that will make
5G a reality. Wi-Fi will play an increasingly important role for
mobile networks as we move to 5G. Intel will continue its Wi-Fi
leadership by commercializing gigabit Wi-Fi soon and plans to
deliver the next generation of Wi-Fi, 802.11ax starting in
2018.
