<<<<Traditional cellular providers are looking to chip and subsystem developers for help in crafting midrate wideband services to deploy prior to the availability of 3G 384-kbit/second channels. Qualcomm, which made a strong push for its High Data Rate system at last year's PCS show, is trying to show carriers how to install HDR alongside CDMA cellular and future 3G systems in unified basestations. HDR uses dedicated bands to provide 128-kbit to 1-Mbit channels alongside traditional cellular service. Qualcomm anticipates that the only way data service can be made profitable is by amortizing the cost of the technology over a common cellular infrastructure, said Paul Jacobs, president of the consumer products division.>>>>> Does anyone here think that Dr Viterbi's vision of providing voice and data over separate tracks over a common cellular infrastructure to maximize the efficiency of both will in fact be the most cost efficient way to move to achieve the emerging wireless/internet nexus?

Qualcomm, Matsushita To Collaborate On CDMA Modules February 08, 1999: 8:47 p.m. ET NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA, U.S.A. (NB) -- By Martyn Williams, Newsbytes. Qualcomm Inc. [NASDAQ:QCOM] and Matsushita Electronic Components Co. Ltd., a unit of Japan's Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. [TOKYO:6752], have signed an agreement to develop and manufacture radio modules for CDMA (code division multiple access) based cellular systems. The modules include the complete radio communications circuitry needed for CDMA handsets and are designed to interface with Qualcomm's MSM3000 CDMA cellular chip. In a statement, the company said the agreement covers more than just telephone handsets. "Our alliance with Matsushita Electronics Components will be aimed at enabling a broader array of applications to utilize CDMA technology," said Don Schrock, president of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. Such systems could include smartphones, PDAs, personal computers, PC cards, telemetry and monitoring equipment, and a variety of data transmission equipment, said Qualcomm. "By leveraging Matsushita's radio frequency (RF) technologies in building high quality RF modules for the consumer industry into CDMA applications, customers can quickly get a new product ready for production," added Keisuke Utsunomiya, general manager, HFPD, Matsushita Electronics Components. home \| digitaljam \| contents \| search \| stock quotes \| help Copyright © 1999 CNN America, Inc.
