QUALCOMM's HDR Technology Supports Spanning the "Digital Divide"
QUALCOMM Brings High-Speed Wireless Internet Connectivity to Rural America During President Clinton's "Digital Opportunity" Tour
RALEIGH, N.C. -- April 26, 2000 -- In conjunction with President Clinton''s "Digital Opportunity" tour, QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), pioneer and world leader of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) digital wireless technology, today demonstrated the capabilities of its High Data Rate (HDR) technology and HDR''s ability to span the "digital divide."
QUALCOMM''s HDR technology was demonstrated today at Remote Data Systems (RDS), a manufacturer of environmental instrumentation, including level monitoring sensors and data management products, located outside of Whiteville, N.C. The company does not have access to a high-speed Internet connection. Dr. Irwin Mark Jacobs, chairman and CEO of QUALCOMM, demonstrated the high-speed capabilities of HDR technology by sending graphic files wirelessly 100 times faster than it takes RDS to transfer files with its existing Internet connection. Dr. Jacobs also displayed a small, handheld, prototype HDR modem that will provide "always-on" Internet connection for high-speed, fixed wireless Internet access and a PC card for portable wireless Internet access.
"Last November, we demonstrated to operators and manufacturers that our high-speed, highly efficient HDR wireless technology could be an affordable Internet access solution for consumers," said Dr. Jacobs. "Today, with the President, we have demonstrated HDR''s potential to connect the underserved communities in the United States and around the world. HDR''s flexibility, high-speed and "always-on" features make it the ideal enabling technology for wireless Internet access, in fixed, portable or mobile environments."
HDR provides a spectrally efficient 2.4 Mbps peak rate in a standard 1.25 MHz channel bandwidth for fixed, portable and mobile applications and is designed to offer an alternative to Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and cable wireline technologies for high-speed Internet access. HDR will operate in existing Personal Communications Service (PCS) spectrum. Optimized for packet data services, HDR incorporates a flexible architecture based on standard Internet Protocols (IP). HDR is an evolution of CDMA technology with identical radio frequency characteristics as cdmaOne(tm) and 1x Multi-Carrier. HDR supports e-mail, web browsing, mobile e-commerce, telematics and many other applications while offering end users continuous, untethered, always-on access to the Internet and next-generation data services.
