Longcheer, a top four Chinese mobile handset designer, has signed a license to manufacture 3G modem cards using Qualcomm's WCDMA technology. Longcheer provides a complete suite of hardware, software and product design solutions to major Chinese telecommunications companies.
The company, which is listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange
but based in Shanghai,
will use Qualcomm's CDMA patent portfolio to develop, manufacture and sell 3G
WCDMA modem cards.
"Longcheer has seen an increased global demand for
advanced 3G wireless data services," said Dr. Du Junhong, chief executive
officer of Longcheer.
"With QUALCOMM's support, we will be well positioned to
develop WCDMA modem cards and gain rapid access into the booming 3G solutions
market, meeting the need for enhanced wireless data communications solutions
for end users who wish to connect anywhere, anytime."
"QUALCOMM is pleased to enter into this license
agreement with Longcheer, enabling another Chinese company to develop,
manufacture and sell WCDMA modem cards to the worldwide market," said
Marvin Blecker, president of QUALCOMM Technology Licensing.
"QUALCOMM's extensive licensing of companies such as
Longcheer continues to increase the number of WCDMA device suppliers, driving
down the prices of subscriber devices, increasing the availability of a wide
choice of features and enabling the proliferation of WCDMA around the world.
