The FE990D and FN990D are both powered by the Qualcomm X85/82 5G Modem-RF, which features the Qualcomm^® AI Stack and offers easy access to AI models via the Qualcomm^® AI Hub. With Qualcomm AI Hub, customers can convert trained models, such as those from PyTorch and ONNX, to inference on the device. They can also profile these models on the device to obtain detailed metrics and verify numerical correctness by running on-device inference.

Built for next-generation connectivity, both the FE990D and FN990D support 3GPP Release 18, ensuring superior performance, reliability, and longevity across enterprise and industrial applications. Key use cases include:

• Fixed Wireless Access (FWA): High-speed broadband for indoor and outdoor environments
• Enterprise & industrial networking: Reliable connectivity for routers and gateways
• Professional video broadcasting & surveillance: Seamless 4K/8K streaming
• Customizable connectivity: Optimized with NExT™ data plans for tailored solutions
• NB-IoT NTN: Satellite-based communication for remote and underserved areas
