DIRECT CONVERSION TECHNOLOGY
This year QUALCOMM introduced a revolutionary
new way to process wireless signals involving fewer
steps and delivering considerable cost savings.
Called radioOne™
, the new chipsets are slated to
perform receive and transmit functions for next-
generation CDMA2000 1X and WCDMA/UMTS
wireless devices. This will fuel development of
smaller phones and devices that consume less
power including multimode, multiband phones
capable of global roaming.
POSITIONING TECHNOLOGY
The most widely deployed positioning technology in
the world today, QUALCOMM’s gpsOne solution was
chosen for the first two E-911 services in the United
States. It works in challenging terrain, like concrete-
and-steel high-rises or shopping malls. And it
provides impressive accuracy during emergency
situations or when using GPS-enabled commercial
applications.
ENABLING THE WIRELESS INTERNET
gpsOne is part of QUALCOMM’s Launchpad™appli-
cations platform, a suite of integrated multimedia
and positioning technologies aimed at supporting
the development of a wide variety of wireless data-
enabled devices for all consumers. It includes a
wide range of built-in multimedia, connectivity,
storage and user interface functions.
QUALCOMM is driving the data revolution with breakthrough technologies that are enabling a broad
range of new handsets, applications and data services.
MORE THAN 5 MILLION
gpsOne-ENABLED DEVICES ARE
NOW IN COMMERCIAL USE
