2. There is no license currently in place to allow anyone to use the Qs CDMA IP in a WCDMA system. Dr J said that he hoped that this would be sorted out amicably. I think he said hoped. Don't forget about this! NEWS RELEASE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- www.qualcomm.com > Press Room QUALCOMM Supports Global Deployment of 3G CDMA QUALCOMM Benefits from Licensing and Chipset Sales for cdma2000 and WCDMA SAN DIEGO -- July 12, 2000 -- QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), pioneer and world leader of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) digital wireless technology, today issued the following statement concerning the introduction of third-generation (3G) IMT-2000 wireless technology based on CDMA. "QUALCOMM fully supports the rapid introduction of 3G CDMA technology, regardless of mode, in the new IMT-2000 frequency bands as well as in existing cellular and PCS frequency bands in all regions of the world," said Dr. Irwin Mark Jacobs, chairman and CEO, QUALCOMM. "By 2003, the Company expects one billion digital wireless subscribers in the world, the majority using GSM with CDMA second. For the next billion subscribers, the Company expects CDMA to be the dominant 3G standard. The principal 3G modes, WCDMA and cdma2000, incorporate QUALCOMM's pioneering CDMA inventions, and are designed to provide efficient voice and wireless Internet access, which we believe will be the next large growth area for wireless networks. Both CDMA modes represent revolutionary departures from the TDMA-based technologies used over the past decade, including GSM." "The transition to 3G CDMA has now started in existing spectrum. Although technology choices for the IMT-2000 spectrum remain open, two of Korea's largest operators, SK Telecom and KT Freetel, are preparing to launch the world's first commercial 3G services by using cdma2000 to upgrade their existing networks. By the end of 2001, 3G services will be widely available, since most cdmaOne™ operators around the globe plan similar transitions to cdma2000 next year. Given the anticipated growing demand for wireless Internet access, we expect that operators utilizing non-CDMA wireless technologies will make substantial new investments in 3G CDMA over the next several years. cdma2000 readily supports overlays in existing spectrum. For international roaming, phones supporting multiple technologies for operation in all regions will become increasingly available at low cost. Several operators are conducting trials of QUALCOMM's HDR technology which efficiently supports mobile and fixed Internet access up to 2.4 Mbps. HDR is now in the 3G standards process and the basis for 1xEvolution (1xEV)." "QUALCOMM continues to expand its substantial portfolio of CDMA patents, including many patents essential to the deployment of any commercially viable CDMA mobile system. QUALCOMM has now extended many of its license agreements to cover all 3G modes. Under these agreements, a licensee pays the same royalty rate to QUALCOMM for WCDMA and cdma2000 equipment as for cdmaOne infrastructure, phones, semiconductors and other equipment. Companies with licenses for WCDMA include Samsung, Lucent, Ericsson, Nortel, Hyundai, LG, Sony, Hitachi, ALPS, Matsushita, Maxon, OKI and Philips."
