One reason behind the rapid global
growth of 3G has been QUALCOMM’s
inclusive approach to doing business.
By licensing a wide range of equipment
manufacturers, encouraging innovative
applications, supporting equipment
manufacturers with a total solution, and
focusing on making the airlink more
effi cient for operators, the Company
has helped 3G CDMA evolve and grow at
a faster pace than the second-genera-
tion technologies that preceded it.
a broad-based expertise
Through this collaborative approach,
QUALCOMM has helped drive wireless
industry standards. The Company has
consistently developed solutions that
are backwards compatible, making it
easier and less costly for operators
to migrate and upgrade their legacy
networks to 3G, while ensuring fast
time to market for device designers
and manufacturers.
Platform- and technology-agnostic in
their approach to problem-solving, the
engineers at QUALCOMM are augment-
ing the Company’s core competencies
in CDMA with a growing expertise in
complementary wireless technologies,
including OFDM.
