“Technology. But the fact that we're moving to our interconnected society, there's no going back. We are a fully interconnected society. But there is opportunity to think about how the digital to win should people and government should think about it so that we get the best of a technology without any downside.”

“Right to have obligations, and there's a lot of things that protect your integrity. I think as a rule, we're going to see the Of people in things. And I think it's just natural. It's just natural. It's just a natural path. And you started to see things like that. For example, the Europeans has done a lot in this area. I would say the Europeans probably ahead in the United States, thinking about privacy loss, digital privacy law, most recently the DMA, the Digital Markets Act, which I think is a great thing. I think we believe there's incredible thought into enable ability to regulate the digital market so that there's innovation and competitions and not a single company can control all the data and then decide how things are going to work on the digital realm. And even if we think about the potential of things like the metaverse as we're connecting physical and digital spaces. So I think it's a natural evolution. Of course, regulation and laws always follow.”

“It's a great topic of conversation, actually. So let me give you my perspective on this. And you started to see some things actually happening right now. So let me step back and let's talk about the fact that we are in a fully interconnected society. When you look at the situation today, we talk about smartphones, largest development platform, so much now of our life. connected to the smartphone and we are all connected and we're connected and then we're building digital twins of everything right so so when you look at that picture when you look at the picture this connected society you started to have the following thoughts which i think are very healthy which means in the same way that in the physical world you are entitled to some”

“And 4G has shown that a lot of the initial concerns were not valid. We look at 5G even though it's new. It's just less power. So we look at from a physics standpoint.”

“Power radiated from the phone and from the tower. As you get closer to the tower, you don't need that much power to reach the tower. So as we move from 4G to 5G, I think we see a reduction in the amount of powers required to close the radio link. Now also you have a number of organizations, the FCC for example, has rigorous programs, which they do a lot of tests to validate the safety of those devices. And I think we have has been a model for other countries also to adopt the same things. Seller's been around for a number of decades now. I think smartphones are a beloved device today. And I would argue how it's difficult to answer those questions because I'll argue that the data to date have we seen in...”

“Look, I have a very simple answer to this question. We built new capabilities such as 5G. Power is going down, especially when you think about reducing the number of base stations, the networks becoming more dense. So as you do that, the power becomes lower.”

“From a qual constant standpoint, but answering the question about what it takes to build all this technology, I think regulators across the board understood the importance of 5G. I have not met a regulator that said it's really important to be late on 5G. I don't think anybody wants to be late on 5G. And as a result, we've seen enormous amount of progress in getting spectrum allocated to 5G. I think the real issue is the time that it takes to build infrastructure. Investment in 5G infrastructure, special millimeter wave is like building roads and ports. It's critical infrastructure. And those things take time. Like one of the number one obstacle you're going to hear from operators is site permit. You know, sometimes they have to negotiate municipality by municipality about permits to get new cell sites. But the networks will be densified and you're going to need all of that capacity for the promise of”

“If I will say, for example, Verizon, the United States has had a leadership in building millimeter wave. It takes time. I'll say cities like Chicago, Manhattan starting to get coverage, it will be a process over a number of years as you build those different access point type networks, but is inevitable. There's not enough spectrum. Every 5G operator is just a matter of time will have millimeter wave as well.”

“Into sub six, you see bands being auctioned across the globe into 3.5 GHz. There's nothing special about the band. Is it the only one that was available because everything else being used for 4G? And you can deploy on that going to existing cell towers and just put a new equipment without having to build new towers. But when we go to technologies such as millimeter wave, then you have to build more dense networks. You need to build more stations because a deployment in that case looked like a Wi-Fi deployment. It's almost like Wi-Fi access points. When you need to build more stations, you need permits. You need to build fiber. So it takes more time to densify. So what you see happening is coverage has been built fast with sub6 across the globe. Now the United States also have the sub six. So that gets you the coverage very fast. But millimeter wave, it's moving.”

“Of that, you may be able to get one or two channels max of sub six, which is a channel that's about 100 megahertz or 200 megahertz. And that's it. So we need more spectrum. So 5G has been designed to work across every spectrum. From the low frequency bands, that's we call the sub six, but you needed more. You needed to go to the millimeter wave. So that's why 5G is a technology that you can deploy from 450 megahertz as an example or 600 or 700 all the way to in the 42 gigahertz. And that's where millimeter wave comes into the picture. Now, let's now connect this to your question about coverage of 5G. The easiest thing to do is to deploy 5G in the new spectrum you can get, which is”

“Great topic of conversation. So let's talk about this When I meet with regulators across the globe, I tell them. Resistance is futile. I locate every spectrum to wireless. Every spectrum needs to be allocated to wireless. The reality is when we start moving from CDMA to OFDMA, we knew that this industry has done a lot to get more bits per Hertz. But the reality is the massive amount of improvements that is required in capacity and in speed, you need more spectrum. not so much we can rely on more bits per Hertz who just need more spectrum. And if you look, for example, what carriers institute the 2G era, they participate in different license and auctions in every spectrum they accumulate.”

“Ability to see was terrible. So it's about really providing processor connectivity, artificial intelligence to everything. And I think that's one of the largest addressable markets we have for technology because you can't really define everything.”

“Full space of everything is it's maybe going back to where you start defining Qualcomm. Qualcomm is about communications and advanced computers for low power devices. And can we make everything smart? You know, it can range us from the robot you have right now on the floor to your refrigerator to a camera to machines and manufacturing to retail, et cetera. I can give you some examples. When we think of something as simple as going to the grocery shop, we see technology now with something this stuff we've been working with companies like Walmart, electronic shelf labels, the ability for you to have smart cameras, they can look at shelves and the camera is smart enough to say some product needs to be replenished.”

“Is provide this fabric that will allow us as a society to look at things that are not connected and say that's the exception. That's why we made a comparison in the early days of 5G, that that's going to be like electricity. Right now, you don't have a discussion about what are the use cases for electricity. You don't talk about that anymore. You just assume it's there. And that's how we're thinking about everything connected to the cloud. That's what 5G is and that's the role of 5G.”

“How do we build a technology for a society that is going to be 100% connected to the cloud? How do we provide a technology that is going to be the last mile connectivity for everything? So 5G has basically been designed to eliminate all issues with data congestion, whether you are in stadium, we talk about soccer, you were in a stadium and everyone should be able to have access to broadband. So deal with congestion. Deal with the fact that not only people, but billions of things need to be connected. Create a technology that for the first time in wireless, you could deliver mission-critical services. Up to 4G is its best effort. In 5G, it can guarantee that you're connected with the cloud. And then the last point of that,”

“When we set ourselves to develop 5G, and we look at this, every generation of technology had a problem to be solved, right? So you mentioned 2G, 2G challenge, the challenge of CDMA was can we give every person on Earth a cell phone? Can you get to a technology that you can basically allow everyone to have a mobile phone? 3G was about the ability to connect that to the internet, I think 4G was broadband, and with 4G was about having the ability for you to have a computer in the palm of your hand. We'll just talk about that. 5G, the challenge was a little bit different.”

“What I'm going to tell you is you have this contrast of incredible development of technology, but then you see some of the things that are happening right now, which is probably we don't expect them to happen on the 21st century, just what happened in Ukraine. So I think that will be a more puzzling question for the aliens, I would imagine.”

“Live an interesting times. In one time we see incredible development of technology for mankind just what happened in the last century. From 1900 to 2000, it was incredible development. Just look 2000 or 22 years ago how far we're coming and where we're going with technology. It's incredible.”

“Absolutely. Look, one of the reasons I think I love this company is we know that the technology we develop can change the world. And I'll tell you one more thing. Beyond the amount of processing power that you have now in the palm of your hands and being everyone in the world that's connected with broadband technology, the smartphone is also mankind largest development platform. There's nothing like it.”

“Everybody's going to say Pele, and actually I was born during the game of Brazil and Italy, the Pella gave Brazil the championship. Actually, it was my dad tells me that the doctor had a TV on at the delivery room. So everybody will say Pilet, but I really like Ronaldo. The first Ronaldino, the first Ronaldo, I really like him. That's my favorite player.”
