January 26, 2006

QUALCOMM and Yulong Computer Technology, a subsidiary of China Wireless Technologies, announced that the companies have signed a worldwide subscriber unit license agreement. Under the terms of the multi-million dollar, royalty-bearing agreement, QUALCOMM has granted Yulong a worldwide license under its CDMA patent portfolio to develop, manufacture and sell subscriber units implementing any 3G CDMA standard (i.e., CDMA2000 1X/1xEV-DO, WCDMA/UMTS). The royalties payable by Yulong are at QUALCOMM's standard rates and are the same irrespective of the CDMA standard implemented by the subscriber unit.

"QUALCOMM is pleased to license Yulong for the development, manufacture and sale of 3G wireless devices," said Marvin Blecker, president of QUALCOMM Technology Licensing. "As CDMA continues to help accelerate wireless communications around the world, it is important that companies like Yulong expand their product offering to include advanced 3G products and solutions in order to provide the widest possible choice of products to consumers."

"This license agreement will enable China Wireless, through its Yulong subsidiary, to develop and market competitive 3G products, keeping pace with the need for enhanced wireless devices," said Guo Deying, president of China Wireless. "We look forward to working with QUALCOMM, the leading developer and supplier of CDMA technology, to support 3G adoption in China and worldwide."
