What might Qualcomm be interested in? Industry insiders point to a handful of emerging wireless technologies. For starters, Qualcomm might want to acquire additional OFDM patents in case this rival technology gets adopted worldwide.

PATENT QUEST. Possible targets might also include companies with WiMax patents. Or, perhaps Qualcomm will jump into OFDM's cousin, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, says Peter Hofstra, an analyst for AIC funds in Canada. UWB can send gigabytes of data per second over distances of about 30 feet.

With 16e more or less finalized, it's time for the big players to take their positions; QUALCOMM is wasting no time!
