 So we're here at Qualcomm here at the Embedded World 2019 and who are you? I am Susan Palazado, Senior Marketing for Product Marketing at Qualcomm. So what are we looking at here? Well we announced earlier on Monday this is the Qualcomm Robotics RB3 platform and it is based on the SDA845. So this is a Snapdragon 845 development board system kit for the Embedded World? Yes, so the 845 platform consists of the RB3 development kit and it consists of the Dragon board 845C and it is 96 boards compliant on top of that there is also 96 board compliant navigation mezzanine as well as an optional communication or cellular connectivity board as well. So what is this one here? This is actually the optional communications mezzanine. So this is if developers want to consider cellular or CBRS band 48. This would be a board that they could purchase for that development. So you do mezzanine this mezzanine for the 96 boards that connect to the main board and then everything just adds and adds them that's why you have three layers. Exactly so this is the 845 Dragon board this is the navigation board and then this is the communication board. Nice and the chip is right here? Yes underneath here is the SDA845 so that is the heterogeneous computing solution that powers the robotics RB3 platform. And this is also with memory and everything? Yes exactly. And where do I see a logo of the Thundersoft right here? You can actually buy the development kit from Thundercom and if you go to qualcomm.com and search Robotics RB3 you can find the link to purchase the development kit for this on Thundercom. Thundercom is a partnership between Thundersoft and Qualcomm? Correct. And it can be ordered right now? It can be ordered right now. For like $99 or how much? The base solution the base kit is for $449 and then you can add optional time of flight camera tracking camera you can also have the optional communications board as well. So you said there's a tracking? So there's a time of flight? This is time of flight this is a tracking? I'm just making this like I don't know exactly who thinks that. And then this one? This is a tracking camera? To track how? It has to do with robotics and sending information back and forth so that it knows as a robot moves around it knows exactly where it is. And this case is included? Yes, everything is included. Yes this is all included in the kit. How soon can people get it? You can buy it right now. It's available in shipping? Yes probably in the next week or two it will start shipping. And there's a Gigabit Ethernet right there? There you go yes. So on the $449 you get all three? No $449 you get the first this bottom layer and the second layer. So you get the chipset one and you get the one? Navigation. Navigation but it has a Gigabit Ethernet? Yep. And then the third one is the one that does LTE or something? Yes this has the Sierra Wireless module that has the 4G LTE as well as the support for CBRS band 48. And for the third one is there a price on that one or? Yes I believe that one's like $249 possibly. And how about there are different potential future options for that third layer right? Well actually there might be a option for yes third layer or fourth layer. Eventually we plan to support 5G as well. 5G. Yes. Cool did Jay announce some new modems at the show? You have some what over here you have all the what do you call LTE for IoT? Do you have some new stuff going on here? Yes so back in December 2018 we announced the next generation LTE IoT modems. So that's the Qualcomm 9205. The first generation was the Qualcomm MDM9206 and then with the 9205. So that was the first this one? Oh yeah these all these are module makers and so they can see the various different sizes by the different module makers and as we introduce the next version where we have better integration. So your chip is one of those? It's inside these modules yes. Which does puts everything in the module? Yes. And this now the new one is this one? So the new ones are all inside these first two rows which enable the module makers to make smaller form factors because it's tighter integration of the development and so there even lower power smaller size and lower cost. So in here how about performance is even better also? Yes so better performance meaning that it will have lower power for those IoT devices that are battery operated. And there's even a tiny one here this is got this done this little one does LTE. Yes this one does the same same thing as all the others. All right this is and this previous one right here. So it's important to connect the IoT to the internet right? Yes for special if you want IoT devices that are connected to the internet. LTE IoT is one option for you to have small bandwidth. And maybe we can we can introduce some of the boards that are on here. Yeah let's go get my call again. Very happy and hopeful. So who are you? I'm Anna Schaefer I am a director of marketing with Qualcomm. And right here you have a lot of cool looking boards with all the partners that you have making them? Absolutely so one of the great things about embedded world is being able to show off our hardware ecosystem so not only in our booth but so many of them also exhibiting here with lots of demos we have a variety of Psalms, SBCs, development boards all to help customers evaluating and then integrating our processor into their their commercial solutions. So Geniotech is doing this one? Yes Geniotech has a couple here. We have the developer board and then here you see the the Psalm that they make available. So you know start your evaluation with the developer board and then have these off the shelf or custom modules and SBCs that you could integrate into an end device. So there's a lot of boards on this board. There's a lot of boards on the board. There's a lot of things happening with Qualcomm in the IoT. Yes there is in the embedded world. Exactly and and one of the things that that we're excited about is you know with these processors the APQ8016E and the APQ8096SG is we we do support the 96 boards specifications. Like this one right here? Like this one right here lots of great options for prototyping different things. Bush sensor and I wanted to point out this solution in particular from Basler which won the embedded vision award at the show this week. What does it do? This is a Mipi camera that is supported on top of the APQ8096 processors. So customers have a great solution with all the software support that they need to be able to integrate that into a variety of use cases. Nice and what are those reference designs over there? So these reference designs we just went and talked about a lot of the Psalms and SBCs that are available for multiple use cases. We also have targeted very specific use cases where we see a lot of interest in our technology. So here you have a variety of reference designs that are targeting smart cameras. So that support for dual ISV heterogeneous commuting to be able to do on device AI. Like this one with standard comm what does this one do? Oh this is the inside of their AI development kit their TurboX AI development kit which is designed to help engineers create computer vision applications with on device AI. Is this the one you showed before? This is the one we showed before yes. That has a lot of things happening there? Absolutely another 96 ports compliant mezzanine there. And this is like a Qualcomm thing? Yeah so here you're going to some voice solutions that we have so for smart speaker that lets you do supports Alexa as well. So a lot of voice UIs that are in the connected home and with our audio solutions. Right here Genutech is doing a hub so this is like a hub goes... Exactly so the idea you could use this as a gateway media player we see a lot of applications from that perspective. And this is with the microphone array? Yeah this microphone array is for our smart speaker reference platform. So that has the intelligence on the audio platform so you can do things without necessarily having to have that cloud connectivity and doing all that processing on device. So Qualcomm is a big company with a lot of engineers you're providing long-term support for some of this stuff? Yes there are a variety of products that do have extended life support. It's a big deal to do that right? It is a very big deal to do that for the embedded world so very different requirements that we have from you know what is typical in a smartphone where there's such a high replacement rate so that's why we selected very specific parts of our portfolio and also have things like the vision intelligence platform that I just showed you that was a chip designed specifically for that space. Has Qualcomm been ramping up the involvement in the embedded world not the conference but like the industry in the last couple years? I mean just having done this show a few years and now this year I'm on the marketing side so we have 30 different hardware providers that are in our booth and I counted 101 different options that we are showing here from the cellular modules to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth solutions to the reference design. And more around here? Yes yes. And Trinzik has a bunch of stuff here? Absolutely. So and but it's not just showing cool stuff it's also supporting it for future for a long time. Exactly supporting it for a long time and also making sure that we have end-to-end solutions for customers evaluating our products. We know that they need software solutions we know that they'll need hardware for different specifications so providing that variety to allow us to enable end devices.
