QCOM: Motorola and Nokia Play Catch Up-Proposing Open Std.
- Motorola and Nokia play catch up - proposing open standard for next generation CDMA chip
- Technology would be compatible with CDMA IS-95 A, B and 1X
- We'll believe it when we see it-QUALCOMM's chipset commercialization is at least a year ahead of
its competitors'
- Activity signifies the importance of CDMA as part of the next generation technology
- First of many battles we expect to see as battle for CDMA and 3G heats up
- The announcement seems to be timed with the 3GPP2 meeting
- Reaffirm our STRONG BUY rating on QCOM
Motorola (MOT-$158 15/16-ACCUMULATE) and Nokia (NOK-$211 1/2-STRONG BUY) announced that
they are teaming up to promote an open standard for next generation CDMA technology with the
1XTREME technology. This technology would be compatible with CDMA IS-95 A, B and 1X. This
announcement signifies the importance of CDMA as part of the next generation technology. We view
this activity as Nokia and Motorola playing catch up to QUALCOMM's chipsets which are at least a
year ahead in commercialization. QUALCOMM's chipset roadmap and features are proven and more
advanced with the successful demonstration of its HDR technology last year. Although Nokia and
Motorola currently have licensing rights for IS-95 CDMA from QUALCOMM, it does not include
third-generation (3G) rights. We expect that the ownership rights of the 1XTREME technology to be
contested by QUALCOMM. We believe that a renegotiation with QUALCOMM would be required for
3G rights. QUALCOMM already has a headstart with its 1X chipsets and had a successful HDR
product demonstration. We believe that QUALCOMM is leading the developments in CDMA chipsets -
forming the most complete integrated CDMA chipset so far. We reiterate our positive expectations for
QUALCOMM and reiterate our STRONG BUY rating on QCOM.
