Series of modems for mobile devices by Intel
The
Intel XMM modems are a series of
4G
LTE ,
LTE Advanced , LTE Advanced Pro and
5G
modems found in many phones, tablets, laptops and wearables (sans 5g-technology) developed by
Intel Mobile Communications .
[1]
Intel Mobile Communications was formed after
Intel acquired the Wireless Solutions (WLS) division of
Infineon early in 2011 for US$1.4 billion.
[2]
On April 16, 2019,
Apple and
Qualcomm reached a settlement which included Apple paying an unspecified amount, entering into a six-year patent licensing agreement, and a multi-year agreement for Qualcomm to provide hardware to Apple.
[3] Shortly after Intel announced they will exit the 5G smartphone modem business to focus 5G efforts on network infrastructure.
[4]
On July 25, 2019, Apple and Intel announced an agreement for Apple to acquire
Intel Mobile Communications ' smartphone modem business for US$1 billion.
[5] Intel will continue to develop modems for non-smartphones such as
PCs ,
Internet of things and
autonomous vehicles .
On November 25, 2019,
MediaTek and Intel announced a partnership to bring
5G to
PCs in 2021.
