Qualcomm expands licensing agreement with Hitachi (Reuters, 03/23/2000 08:43) SAN DIEGO, March 23 /PRNewswire/ - Wireless technology developer Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) on Thursday said it has entered into an mulitmillion-dollar agreement to extend an existing licensing agreement with Hitachi (TOKYO:6501). Qualcomm, developer of Code Division Multiple Access (CMDA) technology that is key to cell phones and other wireless technologies, said the deal grants Hitachi a license to develop, manufacture and sell infrastructure and subscriber equipment for all modes of the third-generation CDMA standard. Prior to the expanded agreement Hitachi's CDMA license covered only Qualcomm's cmdaOne applications. Under the terms of the amended agreement, Hitachi will pay Qualcomm a multi-million dollar up-front license fee and ongoing royalties as Hitachi begins selling third-generation CDMA equipment. The royalties payable by Hitachi are the same irrespective of the licensed CDMA standard.
