QUALCOMM Delivers 3.6 Mbps Data Rates With HSDPA

18 November , 2005

US : QUALCOMM Incorporated announced the Company has achieved HSDPA data rates of 3.6 Mbps with major infrastructure vendors using test terminals based on QUALCOMM's Mobile Station Modem (MSM) MSM6280 solution.

"We have gone from sampling the MSM6280 chipset to achieving 3.6 Mbps calls in interoperability testing with infrastructure vendors in less than two months, and anticipate reaching data rates of 7.2 Mbps in the near future," said Luis Pineda, senior vice president of marketing and product management for QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies. "Taking advantage of our prior work in making the MSM6275 HSDPA solution commercially available has resulted in an accelerated schedule for the pin-, RF- and software-compatible MSM6280, and offers quicker time-to-market by allowing existing MSM6275 designs to be leveraged for new, advanced devices supporting even higher speeds."

QUALCOMM powered the industry's first HSDPA-enabled devices with its MSM6275(TM) solution supporting data rates of up to 1.8 Mbps. The second-generation MSM6280 single-chip baseband supports WCDMA (UMTS)/HSDPA and is backward compatible with GSM/GPRS/EDGE (EGPRS) standards. Designed to support data rates of up to 7.2 Mbps on the downlink, the solution also integrates a wide range of multimedia features, including advanced video, audio, imaging and 3D graphics capabilities.

QUALCOMM's chipset solutions support the Launchpad(TM) suite of advanced multimedia, connectivity, position location, user interface and removable storage functionality, as well as QUALCOMM's BREW(R) solution. The BREW solution enables the development and monetization of advanced applications and content, allowing operators and OEMs to differentiate their products and services and increase revenues. The Company's chipsets are also compatible
with the Java(TM) runtime environment; J2ME(TM) can be built entirely on the chipset as an extension to the BREW client.
