QUALCOMM Signs CDMA Infrastructure Contract with U S WEST; PCS
System to Serve More Than 10 U.S. Markets
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM - news) today announced it has signed a multi-year contract with U S
WEST Wireless, LLC, estimated to involve sales of at least $50 million, to expand U S WEST's Personal Communications Services (PCS) coverage into more than
10 new markets. U S WEST, an established wireline, wireless PCS, data networking, directory and information services operator, is one of the premier
telecommunications companies in the world. U S WEST's new 1900 MHz cdmaOne(TM) (IS-95 Code Division Multiple Access) network will make use of
QUALCOMM's advanced QCell(TM) base station products.
''We experienced the high quality of QUALCOMM's consumer products firsthand, which led us to explore opportunities with QUALCOMM in the wireless
infrastructure arena,'' said Peter Mannetti, president of U S WEST Wireless. ''The unique partnership between QUALCOMM Consumer Products and Wireless
Infrastructure, as well as the value of their combined efforts, were important factors in our decision to expand our relationship with QUALCOMM to deliver our
customers the best possible products and services.''
QUALCOMM's QCell base stations and QCore(TM) 22 base station controller will interface with U S WEST's existing switching platforms. Through an open
architecture, U S WEST can retain its existing switching technology investments while choosing the best wireless access equipment to serve its diverse market needs.
QUALCOMM will also provide technical training and some deployment services to U S WEST.
''U S WEST, an industry leader in integrating communications services for the consumer, has a strong vision for the future of digital wireless telecommunications,''
said John Major, president of QUALCOMM's Wireless Infrastructure Division. ''As a leader in developing and delivering innovative CDMA solutions,
QUALCOMM is uniquely qualified to contribute to the realization of this vision. QUALCOMM looks forward to working closely with U S WEST to deliver
leading-edge CDMA services that meet the diverse needs of U S WEST customers.''
The new network supports the expansion of U S WEST's existing Advanced(R) PCS(TM) services, which transparently integrates reliable, high-quality wireless
connections with U S WEST Communications' existing wireline features and services. QUALCOMM and U S WEST will also be conducting more than 12 different
trials on the new networks to evaluate various products and services, including High Data Rate (HDR) technology, E-911 and in-building coverage.
U S WEST provides a full range of telecommunications services -- including wireline, wireless PCS, data networking, directory and information services -- to more
than 25 million customers nationally and in 14 western and midwestern states. More information about U S WEST can be found on the Internet at
