Qualcomm expands its WCDMA customer base

May 13, 2004

Qualcomm announced that 21 wireless device manufacturers have selected Qualcomm's integrated chipsets and system software for their WCDMA (UMTS) deployments. This is the largest customer base in the industry to work with a single WCDMA wireless chipset provider. Leading global manufacturers, including new entrants BenQ, Mitsubishi Electric, Pantech & Curitel, and Vitelcom Mobile Technology, joined the previously announced Hisense Group, Huawei Technologies, LG Electronics, Novatel Wireless, Option NV, Samsung, Sanyo Electric, Sierra Wireless, Toshiba and ZTE Corporation in selecting Qualcomm's MSM6200 and/or MSM6250 Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipset solutions to support commercial WCDMA network deployments throughout China, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the United States.

"We expect global adoption of WCDMA to accelerate as our customer base brings new products to market," said Dr. Sanjay K. Jha, president of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. "Qualcomm's extensive interoperability testing, in addition to the testing we've conducted with our WCDMA operator partners, provides our handset customers with the confidence that their development efforts can remain focused on quickly addressing new market opportunities."

Qualcomm offers complete WCDMA chipset and system software solutions. The MSM6200 chipset is Qualcomm's second-generation WCDMA solution and supports entry-level voice and basic data applications. Qualcomm's MSM6250 chipset, designed to be compatible with all GSM, GPRS and WCDMA networks worldwide, enables the development of multimedia and position location handsets to appeal to mainstream wireless consumers. Qualcomm's MSM6225 solution supports data-centric and entry-level handsets. The recently announced MSM6280 and the MSM6275 solution enable high-performance, multimedia-rich devices. Qualcomm also announced this week the MSM7200 chipset solution for converged WCDMA devices. Qualcomm's WCDMA solutions capture the full breadth of voice and multimedia segments emerging in the WCDMA wireless market.

Qualcomm's WCDMA chipset solutions support the Launchpad suite of advanced multimedia, connectivity, position location, user interface and removable storage functionality, as well as Qualcomm's BREW solution. The BREW system enables the development and monetization of advanced applications and content, allowing operators and OEMs to differentiate their products and services and increase revenues. These chipsets are also compatible with the Java runtime environment; J2ME can be built entirely on the chipset as an extension to the BREW solution.

Like all members of the MSM6xxx family, the MSM6200, MSM6225, MSM6250 and MSM6275 solutions incorporate Qualcomm's radioOne Zero Intermediate Frequency (ZIF) architecture, which eliminates the need for Intermediate Frequency (IF) components.
