Qualcomm CDMA Technologies Announces World's First Bluetooth-Qualified Commercial 3G Chipset

date: October 12, 2001

Qualcomm announced the world's first Bluetooth version 1.1-compliant CDMA2000 1X commercial chipset, the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies (QCT) MSM5100 Mobile Station Modem (MSM) solution. The MSM5100 Bluetooth hardware and software have been formally qualified by the Bluetooth Qualification Body (BQB) from Cetecom, Inc., and formally listed in the Bluetooth Qualified Product List (BQPL). The specific components and profiles qualified include: Baseband, Link Manager Protocol (LMP), Logic Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP), Serial Port Profile (SPP), Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) and Generic Access Profile (GAP). The MSM5100 chipset provides the most efficient means of integrating Bluetooth digital baseband processing into a comprehensive CDMA2000 1X chipset and system software solution, and will allow manufacturers to develop state-of-the-art Bluetooth enabled 3G handsets.

"Our MSM5100 chipset and system software solution with Bluetooth is a fully tested, qualified and commercial product today," said Johan Lodenius, senior vice president of marketing and product management for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. "Qualcomm leads the industry in delivering the most advanced Bluetooth solution for 3G CDMA2000 1X handset manufacturers. The Bluetooth qualification is a very important step for the commercialization of Bluetooth technology as well as for the deployment of advanced 3G systems worldwide."

Bluetooth is a short-range radio technology that eliminates the need for wired connections between digital devices, and is becoming an industry standard to ensure that computing and telecommunications equipment can communicate easily. Bluetooth provides a universal bridge to existing data networks, a peripheral interface, and a mechanism to form small, private ad hoc groupings of connected devices away from fixed network infrastructures.

The MSM5100 solution features the highest level of integration and the most complete set of position location, multimedia and other advanced features available in the wireless industry. The MSM5100 chipset incorporates QCT's Wireless Internet Launchpad(TM) suite, enabling a broad range of new terminal products, applications and Internet services, including gpsOne position location capabilities as well as multimedia features such as Qtunes Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG-1) Layer-3 (MP3) player software, and Compact Media Extension (CMX) Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)-based multimedia software. The MSM5100 device also supports the Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW) applications platform.
