We are a world leader in wireless innovation

At its core, Qualcomm is a technology developer and enabler. Our company invents and develops new technology through investing in R&D and strategic acquisitions. Qualcomm continues to develop an industry-leading patent portfolio that enables the evolution of newer and better products and solutions for consumers, enterprises and governments.

We commercialize our technological innovations by incorporating them into highly integrated chipsets. In combination with advanced system software, these chipsets are essential components for manufacturers of wireless infrastructure equipment and mobile devices.

With more than one billion cumulative Mobile Station Modems™ (MSMs™) chipset solutions shipped to date, Qualcomm CDMA Technologies has achieved worldwide leadership, delivering solutions for a broad array of addressable markets and providing our manufacturing customers and network operator partners with a solid technology roadmap for the future.

From our inception, Qualcomm has sought to stimulate industry growth through competition by licensing broadly and promoting innovation throughout our industry. We have fostered competition by offering to provide the rights to use our patented technology to interested companies — including our competitors — which has helped grow the wireless industry.
