ABOUT QUALCOMM At QUALCOMM, innovation is the heart and soul of our business. We play a vital role in creating technologies that move the industry forward, and we license these technologies to over 100 manufacturers, including virtually every leading telecom equipment and consumer electronics brand name in the world. Leveraging our CDMA expertise, we’ve become the leading designer and supplier of CDMA chipsets and system software. These key components are used in network base stations, handsets, modems and a variety of new products such as kid trackers, camera phones, MP3 players, game players, surveillance systems and car safety systems. More than just “cell phones,” many of these devices are actually small, sophisticated computers running Internet and multimedia software. Our Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless™ (BREW™) provides a common platform for different types of wireless devices and applications, enabling hardware and software developers to create new products much more quickly and cost-effectively. And CDMA digital wireless is just the beginning. Using a wide range of advanced technologies, we’re also transforming other industries. Our OmniTRACS® system, one of the world’s largest wireless data networks, provides satellite communications, position location and logistics management for commercial trucking fleets with over 400,000 vehicles in 32 countries. Our Digital Media group employs image compression, encryption and other technologies for the delivery and display of digitized motion pictures (“digital cinema”), and for highly secure wireless phone networks used by the government. Our QUALCOMM Ventures group drives developments on a broad scale by making strategic investments in other promising companies with key enabling technologies. Headquartered in San Diego, Calif., QUALCOMM is included in the S&P 500 Index and is a 2001 FORTUNE 500® company traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market® under the ticker symbol QCOM.
