Qualcomm Adds Femtocell Chipsets to Technology Portfolio

Barcelona, Spain (ots/PRNewswire)

- Company Will Offer Innovative Solutions Delivering the
Broadband  Capabilities of 3G to Homes and Offices -
Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and
innovator of advanced wireless technologies, products and services,
today announced that it has added 3G femtocell chipsets to its
product roadmap. The Company will be offering Femtocell Station
Modem(TM) (FSM(TM)) chipsets that will be the industry's first to
utilize the broadband speeds of 3GPP HSPA+, in addition to utilizing
CDMA2000(R), including 1X and EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B. The chipsets
will include baseband functions, network listen and integrated RF
capabilities for all major wireless bands. The chipsets also will
feature innovative techniques addressing the issue of interference
between femtocells and the macro network. Sampling is currently
scheduled for the second quarter of 2010.
"Femtocell technology holds great promise for the mobile industry
by delivering better 3G coverage to subscribers and increasing data
throughput," said Ed Knapp, senior vice president of marketing for
Qualcomm Flarion Technologies. "Femtocell technology will enhance the
overall experience for end users while operators will benefit from
the enhanced capacity femtocells will provide. Qualcomm is combining
its industry leadership in silicon integration and power-efficiency
with its mobile device and base station chipset experience to now add
FSM chipsets to its technology roadmap."
Femtocells are cellular access points that use DSL, fiber or
cable broadband connections to extend the reach of cellular service
within a small area. Qualcomm will offer FSM chipsets for both
residential and enterprise applications to its OEM customers.
Extensive performance analysis, simulations and field tests indicate
the issue of interference can be effectively addressed with the
Company's interference mitigation techniques. More details on these
techniques are available on the Femto Forum's website at
www.femtoforum.org.
