Qualcomm FlashLinq Peer to Peer Communication trials to start with SK Telecom this month.
Qualcomm demonstrated a FlashLinq prototype at CTIA.
FlashLinq is a new technology that enables devices to discover each other within a 1 kilometer radius, without using cellular networks.
The technology enables device to device communication on licensed bands outside of cellular networks but with links in and out of those networks.
The company sees three key use cases for this technology: 1) social networking: being able to quickly discover friends in your proximity, 2) Proximity advertising, and 3) M2M sensor networks enabling better quality of service, useful in cases like hospital environments.
Technical trials are scheduled to start with SK Telecom in April.
