The Mobile Development Platform Tablet (MDP/T), based on a   Snapdragon™ 805 processor   from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., provides application developers and device manufacturers with early access to the highest-performance mobile platform, for developing, testing, optimizing and showcasing next-generation apps and games. Based on a Snapdragon 805 Ultra HD processor with four Krait 450 CPUs, this tablet includes an Adreno™ 420 GPU and the newest Hexagon™ DSP. The tablet also features a 10.06” WQHD (2560x1440) display, 3 GB of RAM, 64 GB of high-speed storage and a microSD slot for memory expansion. The MDP tablet runs the Android 4.4 operating system and powerful pre-installed development and optimization software including the Snapdragon Performance Visualizer and a special version of Trepn Profiler™ that displays the power consumption of individual hardware rails. The Snapdragon Performance Visualizer is a suite of software tools for system performance monitoring, profiling...

MU-MIMO is a revolutionary new way for Wi-Fi networks to operate. With standard Wi-Fi, clients are served sequentially; during this time, only one device is sending and receiving information, thus only a small portion of network capacity is being used. The accumulation of these sequential events creates a drop in throughput and capacity as more devices join the network. This situation can be further exacerbated when combined with the growing amount of on-demand high resolution video content. MU-MIMO enables simultaneous transmission to groups of clients, making more efficient use of available Wi-Fi network capacity and speeding up transmissions. “Great connectivity is not just about increasing the absolute speed. It’s about making better use of network and airtime efficiency to support the growing number of connected devices, services and applications,” said Dan Rabinovitsj, senior vice president, Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. “After seven years of MU-MIMO development and testing, we’ve gain...
