The Dragonwing Q-6690 is a system-on-chip targeting enterprise retail, manufacturing and logistics markets, and it integrates the world's first built-in UHF RFID capability. The SoC combines UHF RFID with 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 and ultra-wideband (UWB) to enable connectivity and proximity-aware experiences for inventory and location-sensitive applications. Integrated RFID removes the need for separate modules, allowing OEMs and ODMs to design varied form factors. Configurable feature packs enable OEMs to choose computing, multimedia, camera and peripheral configurations. Qualcomm provides over-the-air updates for timely feature additions and has partnered with Decathlon, RAIN Alliance and EssilorLuxottica.
Qualcomm announces its new Dragonwing Q-6690 chipset aimed at enterprise customers and integrating essential technologies for businesses in the retail, manufacturing and logistics. Perhaps the most important bit about this chipset is the integration of RFID. That makes it the world's first chip with built-in RFID. In addition to the fully integrated UHF RFID capabilities, the SoC also offers 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 and UWB connectivity.
With the chip integrating all of these solutions, OEMs and ODMs can work on various form factors, and additional RFID modules won't be needed anymore. RFID is important, as it's a staple technology for businesses worldwide. Decathlon, for example, one of Qualcomm's partners in this endeavor, says that it adopted RFID back in 2004. Software support isn't overlooked either. Qualcomm promises timely updates and new features in the future that can be pushed via OTA software updates.
