I guess one of the things that I am unclear about is the following comment which keeps appearing:

"There has been a lot of discussion about the SpectruCell implementation of CDMA without the need for Qualcomm chipsets. To clarify things a bit, Qualcomm does not own CDMA, it owns a specific hardware based implementation of CDMA. This is the IS-95 specification."

I was under the impression that the QCOM patents for CDMA were for the air interface abilities to afford soft-handoff and power regulation. I question that claim of this being a hardware-only based patent, for it deals with the ability to do this, not necessarily with their chipset. Perhaps the hardware accomplishes this function, which would of course be another patent for the hardware design.

Could you please address this area with greater specificity?
Thanks,
Martin Thomas
