QUALCOMM TO SUPPLY MIMO RADIOS AND BASEBAND FOR STARLINK MOBILE'S TERRESTRIAL 5G NETWORK

Summary from the TLDR Hardware newsletter

SpaceX has signed a multiyear deal for Qualcomm's Dragonwing infrastructure platforms: the QRU100 radio unit and QDU100 distributed unit, with 64T64R massive MIMO and physical-layer RAN software. They'll go into base stations at what's planned as tens of thousands of US sites, starting in 2027, to complement Starlink's satellite service. Qualcomm calls this its biggest 5G deal yet.
