Qualcomm eyes the industrial market with its new Dragonwing portfolio

Qualcomm is making a bold move beyond its Snapdragon brand. At MWC 2025, Qualcomm introduced Dragonwing, a new product portfolio designed with industrial innovation in mind. If you thought Qualcomm was all about smartphones, think again—Dragonwing is here to power factories, robots, drones, and industrial IoT devices.

According to the company, Dragonwing represents Qualcomm’s industrial and embedded solutions. It will help bring AI, computing, and next-gen connectivity to manufacturing, energy, telecom, and retail industries. You could almost think of it as the Snapdragon equivalent for businesses. It will enable smarter decision-making and automation.

As industries worldwide shift toward automation and AI, Dragonwing could help. It offers high-performance and low-power computing solutions. Qualcomm claims that it can help make smarter factories that use AI for predictive maintenance, improve retail operations with advanced tracking systems, create more efficient logistics and supply chains powered by IoT, and power next-gen telecom infrastructures.

Qualcomm is set to unveil Dragonwing-powered products at MWC 2025 and Embedded World. If you’re in the business of industrial tech, this could be a game-changer for your business and operations. Will Dragonwing revolutionize the industrial scene the same way Snapdragon did for mobile? We’ll have to wait and see.
