Leading 3G Wireless Devices and Services to be Showcased During the 2002 FIFA World Cup

date: June 14, 2002

Qualcomm applauds wireless service providers and equipment manufacturers in South Korea and Japan, co-hosts of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, on their leadership role in the deployment of 3G CDMA2000 1X services. These markets will be a showcase for 3G devices, applications and services. During the World Cup, the mobile user experience will be enriched by the latest 3G capabilities, including watching video clips of the games, taking photographs and e-mailing them to friends, and in South Korea, downloading World Cup BREW applications that will allow them to obtain stadium, hotel and ticket information – all from their 3G devices.

"Qualcomm would like to extend its congratulations to the wireless industries in South Korea and Japan for their supporting roles in co-hosting the 2002 FIFA World Cup and for being the first to commercially launch 3G services," said Dr. Irwin M. Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm. "Since the commercial launch of 3G services in these markets, consumers have been enjoying a wide range of compelling applications and services available on color-screen, multimedia-capable 3G devices. We look forward to their continued leadership in developing and providing advanced CDMA solutions."

Mobile operators in South Korea and Japan are taking full advantage of the technological capabilities of 3G CDMA2000 for advanced wireless services. With four operators now offering commercial CDMA2000 1X services, the markets currently have approximately 10 million 3G subscribers. Additionally, these wireless consumers are experiencing a variety of innovative and compelling applications made available to them on over 85 state-of-the-art devices and solutions, such as smart phones, camera phones, MP3 phones and high-speed wireless modems.
