Technology leadership.

Qualcomm is at the forefront of developing solutions and services that enable wireless operators around the globe to deploy, grow and capitalize on their 3G networks. We have earned this position by employing and developing the most talented and diverse global engineering teams in our industry and by continually investing in research and development (R&D).

Anticipating opportunities.

Our continually evolving chipset solutions are designed to help our partners differentiate their service offerings, while giving them the flexibility required to anticipate and address unique market opportunities as they arise and evolve.

Creating long-term value.

Qualcomm’s R&D investments have resulted in thousands of innovative ideas, methods and products. In fiscal 2008, we invested $2.28 billion in R&D — an investment that has increased every year since 2000. This commitment enables our company and our partners to maintain a competitive advantage in the market. And with a significant portion of our R&D focused on initiatives spanning longer timelines, we are helping to establish our leadership for many years to come.
