Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and other advanced wireless technologies, today announced an agreement with Nordisk Mobiltelefon AS, a CDMA2000® 1xEV-DO wireless service operator focusing on the rural Nordic market for voice and data services, to deploy BREW products and services over its CDMA450 network in Sweden and Norway. The rollout of BREW wireless applications in both countries will enable NMT subscribers to download the most up-to-the-minute, compelling mobile content available in various application categories that target both enterprise and consumer users.

"This announcement builds on the momentum that the BREW solution is experiencing in Europe and marks a significant step for the region in having the most optimized wireless data offerings available," said Bob Briggs, vice president of global business relations and operations for Qualcomm Internet Services.

Our end-users will then have access to a large library of BREW applications that have been created by developers worldwide."
