While initially not heavy, IoT will contribute more and more to the density of the internet traffic magnifying the need for 5G. Qualcomm is working on the IoT and the 5G side to deliver quality mobile communications

Don Witt of The Channel Daily News speaks with Kiva Allgood, VP of Business Development with Qualcomm, about their installation of IoT on premise in commercial facilities to provide the information needed to accurately allocate convention center for costs, for example, to trade/entertainment show customers. Both have different requirements and can now be billed based on actual usage of utilities, internet, facilities and more. Qualcomm has installed the technology internally to Alpha test the solutions. Kiva goes on to discuss announcements with GE where they will be implementing their current technology on the Qualcomm campus. Using Verizon for communications, data is collected from the IoT devices for evaluation and future changes. Billions, maybe trillions of times a day… We often do what many thought was impossible. That’s how often people around the world touch something made better by Qualcomm. It could be the smartphone in your pocket, the tablet on your coffee table, that wireless modem in your briefcase… it could even be that navigation system in your car or that action camera strapped to your chest. Who is Qualcomm, and what do they do? They are engineers, scientists and business strategists. They are from many different countries and speak many different languages. They come from diverse cultures and have unique perspectives. Together, they focus on a single goal—invent mobile technology breakthroughs.
