enabling business without boundaries
The need for mobile connectivity is growing dramatically. Solutions are being delivered on a wide variety of platforms, and workers want access to the same kinds of capabilities that are available in the office, such as access to email with large attachments and to Internet services. The availability of advanced 3G networks satisfies this desire by enabling notebook computer users to enjoy wireless broadband connectivity anywhere they can make a wireless phone call.
Several industries came together this year to offer notebook computers integrated with EV-DO technology, making wide-area wireless broadband service even easier to use.
Notebooks embedded with high-speed data connectivity improve employee productivity and effectiveness. And enterprises benefit from convenience, cost savings and optimized performance.
For WCDMA networks, notebook cards powered by Qualcomm chipsets are now available in the marketplace that take advantage of the high-speed data capabilities of HSDPA. Several laptop manufacturers have also announced plans to produce laptops with embedded HSDPA connectivity.
Qualcomm continues to leverage its expertise in wireless solutions to help enterprise customers transform the way they do business. Qualcomm Wireless Business Solutions (QWBS) delivers high-reliability workflow-based business solutions for target vertical markets, with behind-the-firewall enterprise system integration.
The roots of this success began with the Company’s first commercial product in 1988, the OmniTRACS® mobile communications solution. The OmniTRACS system has revolutionized transportation and logistics in the U.S. and in other major markets worldwide, and is now in service with more than 6,000 businesses in 39 countries.
The OmniTRACS system continues to evolve to meet the transportation industry’s changing needs. The next generation of the solution, the OmniVision™ mobile computing platform, will leverage 3G technology and incorporate innovations, including high-speed satellite links, over-the-air software deployment and a text-to-speech user interface.
QWBS continues to introduce new offerings for the transportation and logistics market while expanding into new areas. A recent example was the successful launch of the GlobalTRACS® equipment management solution for the construction equipment sector.
Among the many other business-to-business solutions gaining market traction are the T2™ Untethered TrailerTRACS® asset management solution and a growing suite of application service provider web services.
