Qualcomm enhance 3G solution with acquisition Trigenix

October 13, 2004

Qualcomm announced it has acquired Trigenix, a mobile user interface company, based in the United Kingdom. The acquisition provides Qualcomm with Trigenix's User Interface (UI) development technologies, products and tools, and extends Qualcomm's commitment to the European wireless community. When combined with the BREW client software, Trigenix's suite of technologies provides additional substantial advantages to Qualcomm's existing UI offerings that enable flexible and customizable wireless device UIs for operators and device manufacturers. Qualcomm paid approximately $36 million in cash for Trigenix.

The BREW 3.1 client software and BREW 1.0 UI Toolkit provide operators and device manufacturers the resources they need to develop an entire phone UI, branded to suit individual operator's and manufacturer's requirements for all handset tiers and models offered to subscribers. Adding the capabilities of Trigenix technologies, including the Trigenix Trigplayer, provides an expanded UI development tool set that allows BREW operators and device manufacturers to custom build core phone functions like address books, messaging menus, navigation methods, color schemes and icon styles.

"Qualcomm's acquisition of Trigenix marks a significant next step in the Company's efforts to bring enhanced 3G wireless data services to Europe and illustrates our resolve to support wireless operators, device manufactures and developers on the continent," said Peggy Johnson, president of Qualcomm Internet Services. "Trigenix is an acknowledged leader in mobile UI technology and we're pleased to embark on this next stage of our BREW business with them. This acquisition greatly improves the ability for customers offering BREW-based services as well as operators and handset manufacturers to reduce time-to-market and grow their wireless data business."

Trigenix was founded in 2000 with venture funding from 3i, an European venture capital company. "It has been an honor to work with Steve and the Trigenix team since its foundation and to help make it a success," said Laurence Garrett, director of technology for 3i. "Qualcomm and Trigenix have built a strong relationship in the past year and this acquisition takes the evolution of UI technology to the next level."
