Problem with Qualcomm CDMA 1X chips delays handsets totaltele.com By Total Telecom staff 05 April 2002 Company says only a 'small portion' of high-speed CDMA chips is affected. A fault in Qualcomm chips for CDMA 1X handsets has been holding up delivery of handsets, it was inadvertently revealed on Thursday. Philip Christopher, executive vice president at handset maker Audiovox, told analysts during a conference call that shipments across the industry had been delayed on account of the problem. According to Bloomberg, the New York-based company has around 1 million phones waiting to ship to U.S. carriers Verizon, Sprint and Alltel. Christopher said the Audiovox 9155 GPX 1X handset, along with those of competitors, had not been approved by carriers yet on account of a problem with the Qualcomm MSM 5100 and MSM5105 chipsets. Bloomberg reports that he added, "We are confident that we will have approval very, very, very shortly." Qualcomm issued a statement saying that an error had been found in "a small portion" of early shipments, "which could result in certain performance issues of wireless devices using those chipsets." The statement said that the problem "was immediately detected and corrected, customers were notified" and that Qualcomm is now shipping the chipsets in volumes to customers worldwide. Qualcomm is hoping to ship some 13 million or 14 million chips in its second quarter, of which 8 million are forecast to be cdma2000 1X chips. It owns all patents pertaining to CDMA, the world's second most popular mobile standard after GSM.
