Qualcomm® QCC730 is an industry-leading 1x1 Wi-Fi 4 transceiver built to deliver ultralow micro-power Wi-Fi, flexibility to scale, and versatility for ease of design. The selectable power modes and innovative power management allows for exponential battery life for battery-powered or energy-harvested IoT. QCC730 will be complemented by an open-source SDK with a software stack that supports cloud connectivity offloading for a comprehensive solution. It’s direct cloud connectivity empowers developers with an alternative to traditionally Bluetooth-only applications.
QCC730 will be driven by an open-source software SDK which will be available on CodeLinaro. It will also be equipped with the Qualcomm® Connectivity Integrated Development Environment based on Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VSCode). The QCC730 specific VSCode extension plugin will be available as open-source software to allow customized VSCode specifically for QCC730. Modules optimised for size and cost, as well as associated development kits, are also available to allow quick time-to-market productisation.

Ultra-low micro-power Wi-Fi SoC designed to unleash new battery-powered IoT applications and replace traditionally Bluetooth®-only connectivity
Unbelievably low micro-power Wi-Fi for extremely long battery life
Our selectable power modes and innovative power management maximizes savings for extremely long battery life. QCC730 is our lowest-power Wi-Fi for IoT connectivity, delivering up to 88% lower power compared to previous generation products.
Flexibility to scale
QCC730 offers extreme flexibility for developers by operating in either hostless or hosted mode, supporting internal or external power amplifiers, and having integrated, non-volatile memory.
Versatile system for ease of design
QCC730 has full integration of the on-chip microcontroller, NVM, and SRAM for versatility and ease of design. QCC730 empowers developers with the ability to replace or integrate with traditionally Bluetooth-only applications.
Full cloud connectivity stack
QCC730 will be driven by an open-source SDK which will be available on CodeLinaro, a Microsoft VSCode-based IDE supported by modules optimized for size and cost, along with associated development kits.
