Mumbai, India and San Diego, June 11, 2010 (ots/PRNewswire) - Qualcomm
Incorporated , a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless
technologies, products and services, today announced that it is a
provisional winner of BWA (Broadband Wireless Access) - unpaired
spectrum in the 2.3 GHz band - in four telecom circles in India.
Qualcomm was one of 11 bidders participating in the BWA auction and
has provisionally won one, 20 MHz slot of spectrum in the circles of
Delhi, Mumbai, Haryana and Kerala. Qualcomm's final bid was INR
4912.54 Crore or approximately 1.045 Billion USD.(1)

LTE is best suited to address the demand for high-bandwidth
mobile broadband services in India's 2.3 GHz band and can seamlessly
interwork with current and future 3G HSPA and EV-DO networks.
Qualcomm offers the industry's first 3G/LTE multi-mode chipsets,
which will enable a seamless mobile broadband experience for
consumers while roaming within India or globally through the use of
integrated multi-mode devices. Qualcomm will continue to play a
central role in the LTE ecosystem with a focus on enabling the
creation of devices and services best suited for the Indian market.

"Qualcomm innovations helped trigger the wireless revolution in
India by making mobile communications affordable and accessible,"
said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of
Qualcomm. "Along with our ecosystem partners, we are now poised to
accelerate the mobile broadband revolution with 3G HSPA, EV-DO and
LTE to the benefit of all Indians."

"Qualcomm congratulates the Indian government on the successful
completion of the 3G and BWA auctions and is pleased with the
opportunity to now enable the entire addressable market in India with
its advanced wireless solutions. LTE offers a seamless consumer
experience by complementing 3G HSPA and EV-DO networks, protecting
the significant investment Indian operators have made in securing 3G
and BWA spectrum," said Kanwalinder Singh, president of Qualcomm
India and South Asia, and senior vice-president of Qualcomm. "Our
bidding objective was to secure an enabling role in the continued
success of Indian operators with 3G and beyond, and we are extremely
gratified we met that objective. With its ecosystem partners,
Qualcomm will now foster the deployment of LTE, so Indian consumers
can enjoy the benefits of 3G now and 3G plus LTE in the future."

Qualcomm anticipates the Government of India formally approving
results of the BWA Auction shortly. Qualcomm will soon announce its
Indian partners in compliance with the applicable Indian Foreign
Direct Investment regulations. The Company and its partners will work
towards demonstrating LTE technology with the goal of creating LTE
infrastructure and device ecosystem that, in concert with 3G networks
and devices, will support India's broadband goals. Qualcomm and its
partners will decide the venture's strategy in due course. Qualcomm's
goal is to attract one or more experienced 3G HSPA and/or EV-DO
operator partners into the venture for construction of an LTE network
in compliance with the Indian Government's rollout requirement for
the BWA spectrum, and then to exit the venture.

LTE has strong and growing industry support, with commitments
from global ecosystem partners, including operators, chipset vendors
and equipment suppliers. Eighty operators have made firm commitments
to deploy LTE networks in 33 countries, and 22 LTE networks are
expected to be in service by the end of 2010, according to GSA.
Leading operators worldwide are committed to a complementary 3G and
LTE strategy.
