Throughout the company’s 24 year history, Qualcomm “QUALity COMMunications” has constantly fostered a culture of innovation and new ideas. It was in this spirit that seven people met, in July 1985, at the home of Dr. Irwin Jacobs, an academic from the University of California, San Diego, to discuss an idea that was to prove pivotal to the development of mobile communications. Qualcomm has evolved from start-up to one of the mobile industry’s greatest successes.

During the company’s formative years, Qualcomm offered contract research and development services for the mobile market. From humble beginnings, Qualcomm today has a portfolio of over 52,500 Patents Issued or Pending worldwide, with over 155 licensees, and a global roster of partners that have propelled the company to a turnover of US$ 11.1 billion in FY2008.

Qualcomm's innovation is a driving force within the European mobile sector. The introduction of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) in 1989 became known as CDMAone (IS-95), and provided the foundation for later standards of the technology, such as CDMA2000, and CDMA2000/EV-DO. CDMA has become fundamental to the long-term development of third-generation (3G) services globally. Qualcomm owns a significant number of UMTS (WCDMA 3G technology) patents and is taking a leading role in the development of HSPA, HSPA+ and LTE.
