10 qualcomm 2006
Bringing a new generation of
services to the wireless user.
solutions for cdma2000/ev-do
networks
Approximately 588 devices are now in design
or commercially launched based on EV-DO.
Five manufacturers are now designing devices
with the rst generation of QUALCOMM
Single Chip™ (QSC™) solutions, which integrate
multiple components for slimmer, less
expensive handsets.
We sampled the MSM6800™ chipset, the rst
to support EV-DO Rev. A, and QUALCOMM’s
rst sampled chipset based on 65-nanometer
process technology.
The rst EV-DO Rev. A network was commer-
cialized in October of 2006 with many more
planned for early 2007.
Further enhancements of the roadmap will be
delivered with EV-DO Rev. B and Ultra Mobile
Broadband (UMB).
solutions for wcdma/hsdpa
networks
More than 27 equipment manufacturers are
now designing or offering WCDMA devices.
A cumulative total of more than 423 WCDMA
device models have now launched.
We supported the world’s rst large HSDPA
launch (by Cingular Wireless in the U.S.).
QCT enables the world’s rst commercially
available HSDPA devices.
Further enhancements of the roadmap will
be delivered with HSPA+ and Long-Term
Evolution (LTE).
