Qualcomm Partners Up With Audi and Offers a New Vision For Wi-Fi

Qualcomm unleashed a bunch of news at CES, the big consumer tech show in Las Vegas on Tuesday. But the most significant bit was related to the future of cellular networks for the Internet of things and two new Wi-Fi technologies that consumers might benefit from. It also shared new partnerships with Audi, a Chinese smartphone maker and a Tencent, which is making a drone using the chip firm’s technology.In general, the cell phone product announcements were meager with Chinese TV manufacturer LeTV announcing that its Le Max Pro would be the first smartphone that would use Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 820 chip. Qualcomm  Qcom  might be excited, but the lack of a major smartphone maker such as Samsung using the silicon means that Qualcomm turned up to the tech industry’s big party with a D-list celebrity on its arm.
