RE: Wingcast While Qualcomm said it's designing chipsets to accommodate third-generation telematic technologies for upcoming applications, it remains to be seen whether its CDMA technology will form the basis of the 3G wireless standard. For GSM, which is currently the predominant wireless standard in Europe, Wingcast will rely on undisclosed third-party suppliers. First, I'm disregarding the statement that there is doubt about CDMA becoming the 3-G technology of choice. That's a done deal. What intrigues me is the statement about using a third party vendor in Europe. When this deal was announced, it occured to me that GSM would not suffice for the services that Wingcast wants to include in cars. I immediately thought of Globalstar for Europe. I believe there was a post on one of these board (Yahoo QRTTS?) that said there was a demonstration of a modem for Globalstar service at QCOM last week. Hmmmm.
