Qualcomm Incorporated announced in September that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, has developed a new chip called Snapdragon Flight, consisting of a board of 58 x 40 mm highly optimized, being directed specifically to drones consumption and robotic applications. Qualcomm Snapdragon Flight is based on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, along with the robust connectivity, advanced software and development tools, bringing cutting-edge mobile technologies to create a new class of drones consumption.
Now was released the first video novelty, showing that the Snapdragon Flight can do to advance the drones:
The Snapdragon Flight offers advanced processing power, flight control in real time thanks to the co-processor Hexagon DSP, which brings 2×2 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity solution, and a navigation system satellite global leader (GNSS) optimized to support highly accurate location positioning. The Snapdragon Flight is designed to enable advanced features that consumers want to see on drones top line, including:
- videos in 4K: with the ability to shoot in 4K providing enhancement of image and video processing and simultaneous 720p encoding for first-person view
- Advanced Communication navigation: thanks to the dual-band modem 2×2 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and 5 Hz with GNSS location capability with flight control real-time advanced by the co -processor Hexagon DSP
- robust camera and support for multiple sensors: as well as videos in stereo 4K, there are also optical flow chambers, inertial measurement unit (IMU), the support of the barometer sensor and door sensors Additional
The novelty will be presented at CES 2016, the world technology fair to be held in January in Las Vegas. Qualcomm has marked event and should do some demonstration of drones with the dedicated chipset. No a certain value to the product, but Qualcomm expects it to be possible to find drones with 4K camera for less than $ 400 in 2016.
