just In Case,,Qualcomm announced the MSM5200, a chipset that supports the W-CDMA standard. W-CDMA, a direct-sequence technology that is basically an upgrade to GSM, will be deployed in Europe, Japan, and in parts of Asia and the United States.
Qualcomm didn't disclose the product specifications for the MSM5200, but the announcement gives it a potential chip offering in two of the three 3G camps. Qualcomm recently unveiled the MSM5100, which supports the multicarrier form of CDMA, also known as cdma2000. Both chips will be based on a 32-bit RISC core from ARM Ltd. The MSM5100 will be shipped early next year, while the MSM5200 will be available in 2001.
Qualcomm may have reversed its strategy to back W-CDMA after recently settling its patent dispute with Sweden's L.M. Ericsson. Under those terms, Qualcomm gained access to Ericsson's GSM technology. Meanwhile, Ericsson obtained CDMA technology from Qualcomm and agreed to buy its infrastructure business.
