While having an integrated modem is still a critical differentiator in some applications, not having one will not preclude Nvidia from succeeding in other applications.
Nvidia made it official that it is winding down the LTE modem business that it purchased from Icera in 2011. The decision does not come as a complete surprise, as the company has more recently focused on gaming, automotive, enterprise graphics and the cloud applications. These are areas where Nvidia has had recent success leveraging its GPU expertise, but these applications do not require modem technology. The Tegra product line in particular has been refocused on gaming platforms and automotive applications.
