Qualcomm Introduces World's First Complete Multi-mode 3G/LTE Integrated Solution for Smartphones

Barcelona, Spain (ots/PRNewswire) -

- MSM8960 Delivers Support for All Leading Mobile Broadband
Standards with Cost Advantages for Device Manufacturers -

Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and
innovator of advanced wireless technologies, products and services,
today introduced the industry's first chipset solution for advanced
Smartphones supporting CDMA2000(R) 1xEV-DO Rev. B and Simultaneous
Voice-Data Operation (SV-DO), as well as multi-carrier HSPA+ and LTE.
The Mobile Station Modem(TM)(MSM(TM)) MSM8960(TM) chipset is the
industry's only complete integrated solution that supports all of the
world's leading mobile broadband standards. The chipset is compatible
with Smartphone platforms based on Qualcomm's other MSM8x60 chipsets,
delivering significant economies of scale to device manufacturers who
are designing cutting-edge devices based on those solutions. The
MSM8960 is scheduled to sample in mid-2010.

"Multi-mode 3G/LTE chipsets will be crucial to smooth deployments
of LTE by operators who are looking to complement their existing 3G
networks, and the MSM8960 delivers maximum flexibility by supporting
EV-DO Rev. B and HSPA+ in addition to LTE," said Steve Mollenkopf,
executive vice president of Qualcomm and president of Qualcomm CDMA
Technologies. "The MSM8960 raises the bar for LTE solutions by not
only offering support for all leading mobile broadband standards, but
also integrating exceptional multimedia performance. This allows
device manufacturers to leverage their existing HSPA+ device designs
for significant economies of scale."

The MSM8960 features radio frequency, software and
pin-compatibility with the MSM8260(TM) and MSM8660(TM) chipsets for
HSPA+ and HSPA+/EV-DO Rev. B, allowing device manufacturers to
benefit from the economies of scale and existing investments into
designs based on those two solutions. The MSM8960 chipset also
supports LTE-TDD.

The MSM8960 is compatible with the QTR8610(TM) transceiver, which
integrates support for all worldwide CDMA2000 and UMTS radio
frequency bands and eliminates the need for standalone GPS,
Bluetooth, FM radio chips and codecs. The QTR8610 is scheduled to
sample in the fourth quarter of 2009.

and delivering innovative digital wireless communications products
and services based on CDMA and other advanced technologies.
