Vienna – October 15, 2026 -- Fibocom has extended its flagship FG390 5G-Advanced fixed wireless access (FWA) module to the Upper 6 GHz spectrum, unveiling the update at Network X 2026.

FG390-MEA-30 adds NR n104 support on MediaTek T930 platform

The new FG390-MEA-30 variant runs on the MediaTek T930 platform. A new hardware design supports NR n104 and enables coordination between Upper 6 GHz and Sub-6 GHz. The FG390 is also shortlisted for the Network X Awards 2026 in the Best Indoor Connectivity Solution category, with its PC1 high-power capability cited as a key technical feature.

FG200 reaches engineering-sample stage alongside X85 and Wi-Fi 7 demo

Fibocom is demonstrating an X85-based 5G FWA solution paired with Wi-Fi 7. The FG200 is now ready for engineering samples, and the company describes the demo as part of its move toward 3GPP Release 18 and higher-performance broadband platforms.

Taipei – October 13, 2026 -- Gemtek Technology, Qualcomm Technologies and gFiber are targeting commercial deployment in 2027 for an AI-native Wi-Fi 8 broadband gateway, with gFiber set to be the first operator to roll it out. Gemtek is showing the device at Network X 2026.

Gateway runs on Qualcomm's Dragonwing NPro A8 Elite platform

Gemtek engineered the gateway on the Qualcomm Dragonwing NPro A8 Elite Platform. It combines Wi-Fi 8 Quad-Band connectivity with Edge AI computing. Software comes from Genix Networks, a Gemtek subsidiary.

The device is designed as a home internet hub and a local platform for agentic AI. It supports network optimization, device awareness, security and proactive management.

Houston – October 07, 2026 -- Works360 has launched PLAiPulseTM, a new experience intelligence technology that lets customers watch CPU, GPU and NPU activity in real time while evaluating AI PCs with their own applications and workflows.

Works360 rolls out PLAiPulse across evaluation programs for Intel and Qualcomm-based AI PCs

The initial deployment covers eligible systems powered by Intel Core Ultra processors and Qualcomm Snapdragon X Series platforms, plus select Microsoft Surface evaluation programs distributed through Works360. The technology is also extending to select Intel-based AI PC evaluation programs in Australia and New Zealand.

Taipei – – September 30, 2026 -- Advantech has launched the ASR-D501, a compact AI companion computer built to power autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles, delivering up to 12 TOPS of AI performance within a sub-10W power envelope.

Qualcomm QCS6490 chipset enables onboard AI processing without constant cloud reliance

The ASR-D501 runs on the Qualcomm QCS6490, combining CPU, GPU, and NPU compute to handle object detection, semantic segmentation, visual inspection, obstacle awareness, vision-based localization, and sensor-fusion tasks directly on the drone. By offloading perception and mission-level workloads from the flight controller, the platform lets the primary controller focus exclusively on flight stabilization and actuator control. Supported navigation capabilities include VIO, SLAM, and GNSS-denied operation.

Taipei – September 20, 2026 -- Advantech Co., Ltd. (TWSE: 2395) has expanded its WEDA-Powered Edge AI ecosystem by bringing Intel, Qualcomm Technologies, and AMD into a shared framework for developing and deploying Edge AI across industrial and enterprise hardware.

Advantech unifies Edge AI development under WEDA architecture

The expansion centers on WISE-Edge Developer Architecture (WEDA), WEDA-Ready Edge Computing, and the Advantech Container Catalog (ACC). Together, the components are designed to standardize Edge AI development, validation, deployment, and lifecycle management across fragmented hardware environments, replacing what Advantech describes as disconnected, project-by-project development efforts.

New York – September 17, 2026 -- Qualcomm and Amazon unveiled a multi-generational product collaboration to build next-generation AI data center infrastructure, combining Amazon's cloud-scale compute with Qualcomm's power-efficient silicon design.
