Qualcomm Introduces Single-Chip 802.11n Wireless LAN Solution for Handsets and Mobile Devices

High-Throughput Chip Offers Users Faster Downloads and Better Web Surfing, Streaming Media Experiences

KUALA LUMPUR — June 3, 2009 — Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless technologies, products and services, today introduced the WCN1312™ – a single-chip, high-performance 802.11n-compliant wireless local-area networking (WLAN) solution for handsets and mobile devices. This highly integrated device supports data rates of up to 72 Mbps – significantly higher than previous 802.11a, b, and g Wi-Fi solutions – for a better user experience while downloading data, watching streaming video or surfing the Internet.

“As demand increases for wireless LAN connectivity in handsets and other mobile devices, carriers are migrating to higher-performance, more integrated solutions,” said Mike Concannon, senior vice president of Connectivity and Wireless Modules for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. “The new WCN1312 solution gives our customers an extremely compact 802.11n solution with leading-edge performance and full system-level integration with other Qualcomm chipsets, which minimizes design time and reduces manufacturers’ time-to-market.”

The WCN1312 solution offers a high level of integration with a 2.4 GHz 802.11n baseband processor, media-access controller, RF transceiver, transmit power amplifier, low-noise amplifier, transmit switch, power coupler and radio-frequency (RF) bandpass filter all in a small 7x7 mm package. This simplified design eliminates the need for many external RF components, minimizing the component count and resulting in a smaller system footprint.

The new WCN1312 chip uses low-power 65nm CMOS technology and advanced power-management techniques to minimize sleep, standby and active power consumption. It is optimized for performance with Qualcomm’s complete Mobile Station Modem™ (MSM™) solutions and supports a variety of mobile operating systems, including Qualcomm’s Brew Mobile Platform®, Android and Windows Mobile.

Qualcomm Unveils PC Alternative for Bringing Internet Access to Developing Markets Worldwide

“Kayak” Leverages 3G Networks to Bridge Connectivity Divide

KUALA LUMPUR — November 13, 2008 — Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) today announced a new PC alternative to make high-speed wireless Internet access more widely available and affordable in emerging markets. The Kayak™ PC alternative leverages the widespread availability of 3G wireless broadband to bring Internet connectivity to markets where wired Internet access has often been difficult to access or unaffordable. The Kayak PC alternative fills the niche that exists between desktop PCs, which normally require landlines or separate accessories for connectivity, and Internet-capable wireless devices. The Kayak PC alternative includes a reference design and recommended software specifications that will be made available to device manufacturers. Manufacturers can then design a wide range of devices based on the Kayak reference design that take advantage of the high level of integration, inherent connectivity and comprehensive functionality. The Kayak reference design uses Qualcomm’s dual-core Mobile Station Modem™ (MSM™) MSM7xxx-series chipsets to provide both computing and connectivity. Devices based on the Kayak reference design will offer:

* A Full-featured Web 2.0-capable browser from Opera Software able to perform at desktop resolutions
* Access via the browser to Web 2.0 productivity applications
* Support for both television sets and computer monitors to be used as displays and/or for a built-in display
* Compatibility with a standard keyboard and mouse for input
* Music player and/or a 3D gaming console functionality

In the future, commercial Kayak-based devices may also be powered by Snapdragon™ solutions. Initial Kayak PC alternative units, manufactured by Taiwan-based Inventec Corporation, will be used to initiate user trials during the first quarter of 2009 in Southeast Asia on both CDMA2000® and WCDMA (UMTS) networks.

“Emerging markets will be a huge growth driver for the telecommunications industry in the coming years,” said Mark Hirsch, vice president of corporate marketing, Inventec Corporation. “We are very excited about Qualcomm’s innovative Kayak reference design that leverages wireless networks to bring Internet connectivity to developing markets.”

“Web-based applications open up new possibilities for people in emerging markets for whom packaged software can be expensive,” said Rod Hamlin, senior vice president of sales, Americas, Opera Software. “Combining the Opera browser with Qualcomm’s chipset is a great way to help bring the power of connected computing to millions of new Internet users around the world.”

“The broad footprint of 3G networks means that wireless is the answer to Internet access for worldwide markets – especially in emerging regions,” said Luis Pineda, senior vice president of marketing and product management for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. “The Kayak PC alternative is a great example of how Qualcomm is leveraging cloud computing over wireless broadband networks to help bring new areas of the world into the global online community for the first time.”
