Qualcomm showcases BREW for WCDMA

November 17, 2004

Qualcomm announced that a number of compelling BREW-based wireless applications currently available via operators with CDMA2000 1X services, can now be downloaded live and run on the BenQ S80 WCDMA (UMTS)/GSM/GPRS dual mode handset. The applications are being downloaded live over a WCDMA network, and shown on this BREW-enabled WCDMA device to operators throughout the Asia-Pacific region, at 3G World Congress, November 15-19 in Hong Kong. This functionality validates the BREW solution's flexibility and value for the entire mobile marketplace value chain, including publishers and developers, handset manufacturers and operators in the emerging WCDMA market. The compelling selection of applications are running on handsets built upon Qualcomm's MSM6250 Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipset providing developers with a feature-rich, multimedia environment for their innovative content.

"The demand for advanced and feature-rich applications and services is growing in the WCDMA market, and BREW for WCDMA signals great new market opportunities awaiting the developer community," said Bob Briggs, vice president of global business relations and operations for Qualcomm Internet Services.

"The new BREW-based MobiTV service was designed specifically to highlight the capabilities of WCDMA networks by delivering up to 30 frames per second of live television," said Dr. Phillip Alvelda, CEO and Chairman, Idetic, Inc. "The WCDMA market is an increasingly important market for the very latest wireless technologies and services, and we look forward to helping WCDMA operators use their existing network infrastructure to deliver live TV to users anywhere, anytime."

In addition to Idetic's MobiTV application, WCDMA operators and handset manufacturers can also take advantage of customizable user interface capabilities enabled by the BREW solution.
