QUALCOMM and Alcatel Enter into a CDMA Infrastructure Patent License Agreement SAN DIEGO and PARIS -- July 16, 2002 -- QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), pioneer and world leader of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) digital wireless technology, and Alcatel (Paris: CGEP.PA and NYSE: ALA), a leading global supplier of telecommunications infrastructure, today announced that they have signed a CDMA equipment patent license agreement. Under the terms of the royalty-bearing agreement, QUALCOMM has granted Alcatel a worldwide license under QUALCOMM’s CDMA patent portfolio to develop, manufacture and sell third-generation (3G) WCDMA (UMTS) and TD-SCDMA infrastructure equipment. As part of the agreement, Alcatel has granted QUALCOMM a royalty-free, worldwide license under Alcatel’s patent portfolio to develop, manufacture and sell semiconductor components for incorporation into wireless CDMA and multimode CDMA equipment. "QUALCOMM is pleased to license Alcatel, a premier worldwide equipment manufacturer to develop, manufacture and sell WCDMA and TD-SCDMA wireless infrastructure products using QUALCOMM’s patents," said Steve Altman, president of QUALCOMM Technology Licensing. "This agreement further validates the strength of QUALCOMM’s patent portfolio and applicability to WCDMA, also known as UMTS, and TD-SCDMA." "This license strengthens Alcatel’s leadership position as an enabler of mobile data and 3G CDMA wireless services," said Marc Rouanne, president of Alcatel’s Mobile Networks activities. "We are now, more than ever, well positioned to provide mobile operators with field-proven 3G solutions with everything in place, from UTRAN, Core network, ATM switches to Open service Platform and Software solutions." Alcatel’s UMTS radio infrastructure (UTRAN) offering is developed and produced by Evolium SAS, the joint venture between Alcatel and Fujitsu. This joint venture leverages Alcatel’s expertise in GSM, GPRS and EDGE as well as in ATM and IP technologies, and combines it with the advanced experience of Fujitsu as supplier of NTT DoCoMo, which has a commercial UMTS network in service since October 2001. qualcomm.com

Alcatel launches 3G Reality Centre in Malaysia cmpnetasia.com CMPnetAsia team, 13-Sep-2002 Alcatel on Thursday launched its 3G Reality Centre in Kuala Lumpur – the first comprehensive, live, end-to-end environment for the development and testing of advanced mobile applications and data services in the fields of 2.5G/GPRS and 3G/UMTS in South East Asia. By partnering with local content and applications providers in its Kuala Lumpur 3G Reality Centre, Alcatel will provide mobile operators in Malaysia and the rest of South East Asia with a window on the latest services that are being developed. This network will help mobile operators looking to develop a complete service offering and profitable business model for next-generation mobile services. Located at Alcatel’s Kuala Lumpur office, the 3G Reality Centre is part of Alcatel’s rollout of a full network of 3G Reality Centres across Asia Pacific. In the region, such centres are already operational in Shanghai and Taipei, with others scheduled for launch in Australia, South Korea and Japan. In Europe, six 3G Reality Centres will be operational by the end of 2002, with two already launched in the first half of the year. The Kuala Lumpur Centre’s strategic partners already include Fujitsu, Alcatel’s long-term 3G-infrastructure partner. It is looking into partnering with other companies that can add value towards the success of 3G in the country and the South East Asia region. In Europe, 3G Reality Centres have already been officially launched in Malmö (Sweden) and Cascais (Portugal). Additional launches are planned in the coming weeks, built on existing Alcatel 3G infrastructures in Rijswijck (The Netherlands), Paris (France), Vimercate (Italy) or Stuttgart (Germany). Others are scheduled for opening before year-end. Visitors to the Kuala Lumpur Centre can personally experience 3G communications with voice in circuit mode and data and high speed video images in packet mode, including web browsing and file transfer protocol (FTP), video casting, gaming, video streaming and video on demand (VOD).
