In Summary :
The number of cellular baseband players in the top-tier smartphone market is fairly small: Qualcomm, HiSilicon, Samsung, MediaTek, and Intel. With the exception of Intel, most of these manufacturers have been in the spotlight of relatively recent public security research in the mobile space (albeit more is needed and coming!). Intel’s market share is relatively small counting by the number of flagship devices they could score. The bulk of the market is dominated by Qualcomm solutions. On the flip side Intel modem solutions are among high-value targets with the integration of its XMM7360 solutions into Apple iPhone devices since the introduction of the iPhone 7 in 2016. It has since been used in every new generation of iPhone devices. Because of a different feature set and different regional requirements, iPhones have been available in two flavors. While carriers using CDMA have traditionally used Qualcomm-powered baseband stacks, a large share of the remaining market runs on the Intel solution. With the introduction of CDMA in the upcoming Intel XMM7560 platform, the developments in this space will be even more interesting to observe.[...]
