Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and
innovator of advanced wireless technologies and data solutions, today
introduced a new single-chip solution bringing unprecedented
multimedia and broadband capabilities to the mass-market tier. The
Qualcomm Single Chip(TM) (QSC(TM)) QSC6295(TM), which leverages
advanced 45 nanometer CMOS process technology, combines rich
multimedia, power-saving innovations and broadband data speeds to
redefine the capabilities of the next generation of mainstream
handsets. With support for downloads of up to 10.2 Mbps, uploads of
up to 5.76 Mbps, compelling multimedia content and integrated
Bluetooth/FM/GPS, the QSC6295 is helping drive the migration of
popular Internet community and media sharing services to the mobile
space. New innovations in power consumption enable up to a full day
