According to Qualcomm, the MDM9215 is one of the second generation LTE modem LSI "MDM9x15" series products manufactured using the 28nm process. More than 90 terminal products currently being developed by more than 30 terminal manufacturers all use this series of chipsets. SoftBank 102Z is ​​the world's first official product.
According to the release materials, ZTE developed the SoftBank 102Z in just two months after the chip samples were delivered by using modem LSIs designed and optimized by Qualcomm. Ding Ning, vice president of ZTE, said that in addition to SoftBank 102Z, ZTE is also developing LTE data products equipped with MDM9x15 series modem LSIs for major communication operators worldwide.
According to Qualcomm, MDM9x15 supports seamless connection between LTE TDD and DC-HSDPA networks, and compared with the first-generation LTE modem LSI, the power consumption of this series is reduced by 30%, which can reduce the area of ​​printed circuit board %, Which makes it easier for manufacturers to develop smaller and thinner terminals.
