Connect to Qualcomm via Quectel BG95 with RAK5010

Developers can now utilize Qualcomm-based modems in their IoT devices, leveraging the renowned capabilities of Qualcomm’s technology, which includes support for Cellular IoT, 5G, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, to name a few. The first Qualcomm modem supported is the Quectel BG95, available through the RAK5010 development board from RAK Wireless. This integration is supported by the latest release of the Golioth Firmware SDK, allowing seamless and straightforward implementations.

Advanced Device Connectivity with Qualcomm

The decision to support Qualcomm modems stems from direct customer feedback and the demand for advanced modem capabilities that meet diverse business needs, including access to lower-cost hardware options and the latest connectivity protocols and radios.

Golioth’s flexible and open platform has previously enabled customers to experiment with Qualcomm hardware, albeit with some challenges. With today’s update, integrating Qualcomm modems with Golioth becomes hassle-free, reducing complexity and empowering developers to focus on what’s important: innovation and deployment.

This enhancement ensures that Golioth users can leverage cutting-edge technology while managing costs effectively, making it easier than ever to scale IoT solutions.

Commitment to Quality with Rigorous Testing

To ensure the reliability and quality of this new feature, Golioth has integrated the RAK 5010 development board into its rigorous testing process, designating it as a Continuously Verified Board (CVB). This designation highlights the board’s regular testing and premier support within the Qualcomm platform, reinforcing Golioth’s commitment to excellence.
