Our partners
In an increasingly open mobile world, we are
developing new capabilities with our partners to give
people a uniquely personal mobile experience. Our
partnerships accelerate growth for everyone—from
operators and device manufacturers to Internet
companies, e-tailers, and mobile content providers.
Our best-in-class chipsets power handsets,
smartbooks, e-books and beyond, whilst our
engineering support services deliver total, integrated
solutions. We enable opportunities across the entire
wireless value chain, by making devices faster and
content richer and customer relationships stronger.
Today, innovation continues to drive our partnerships.
For many operators, that means growing a thriving
data business whilst taking customers seamlessly from
2G to 3G wireless technology today—and on to 4G in
the years to come. As a forward-thinking company, we
are always looking ahead—not just to the next quarter,
but far down the line.

Our future
Looking ahead, we see an era of total connectivity.
High-speed wireless networks will connect everything
in your life—not just your phone and your laptop, but
your car, your video camera and many items
throughout your home. Machine-to-machine
communication will enable a smarter world.
At Qualcomm, we think of it as the Internet of
Everything. Your mobile devices will act as your sixth
sense, suggesting activities and content based on
your preferences, schedule and location. Each wireless
discovery will be personal to you.
And we believe that’s only the beginning. In a
connected world, we can take on our most
fundamental problems—to save energy, use water
wisely and deliver healthcare more efficiently. And we
see Qualcomm’s innovations embedded in the
technology, every step of the way.
Our business model has proved
to be so successful that today
we have licensed
more than
190
companies
around the
world to manufacture wireless
products.
Since
1985
, we have invested more than
$16.1 billion*
in R&D.
680+
