More notes from Sawtek CC....

- They have had multiple basestation orders in China...one of which has been partially cancelled. They dont know the
reason for the cancellation yet. Found out about the cancellation mid to late last week.

- Inventory correction for GSM IF filters going on for one large GSM handset customer. Revenue will be down
dramatically in the GSM category (only around 12-14% of revenue). It is a US customer (before everybody starts
pointing fingers at Nokia). GSM business will be really low this quarter due to this customer.

- RF filter business up from last quarter (substantially).

- No softness in CDMA IF filter market. The business will be up slightly over last quarter.

The call is worth listening to just for the following exchange. This is around 11:00 minutes.

Ed Snyder...."Sounds like the CDMA handset business is not doing bad at all"

Sawtek...."That's correct"

Ed Snyder...."Great"

Just listen to the inflection in his voice when he says "great" <g>.

I thought there was speculation that the cross-licensing deal with TI gives QCOM access to GSM IP. Can anyone confirm?

I believe that the way the agreements work, is that Q doesn't have to worry about GSM IPR, only the manufacturers that use the QCOM multi band, multi mode, multi network chips will have to make the arrangements to pay the GSM IPR holders.

Please correct me if I am wrong! Trying to figure out that myself.

...and I also worry about the fact that QCOM has no GSM license yet for their new multi-standard chips - how long will they hold out?

There's a section on that too, titled...

Does QCOM have IPR rights it needs to ship multi-mode chips, including GSM and GPRS?
