Miller said Qualcomm has done much more than wireless chips for a long time and used its work in mobile phones as an example. Functions such as computer vision, touch and facial recognition are supported by Qualcomm. “We do highlight those and security, but everybody focuses on how quickly the phone connects to the internet and kind of downplays the other,” he said.

“Connectivity, compute, security and AI enable every use case” at Qualcomm, Miller said. Although now, Qualcomm is emphasizing compute, security and AI in addition to connectivity, he said. (If that isn’t too subtle a distinction.) “A lot of it is hiding behind the curtain and we’ve been building billion-dollar businesses while others are talking connectivity,” he added.

Many applications such as edge AI, heat maps and customer store patterns are all enabled with processing at the edge

so that data is not streaming back to a data center or the cloud.

“We’re not there just to be a dumb pipe but doing the thinking at the edge on mobile devices,” he said. “That’s what needs to happen, to process data at the relevant point and not stream back to the cloud.”

(SOUNDS GREAT TO ME!! )
