With a long-term vision the company has reminded investors of its confidence in the future with an announcement of significant share repurchases totalling $1.1 billion in just the last two months. Many believe the company is undervalued. The myriad lawsuits and complaints coming at the company from the likes of Ericsson, Texas Instruments, and Nokia have kept a significant amount of risk priced into the stock.

The global impact of Qualcomm is becoming ever more apparent as mobile operators around the world implement its CDMA technology in the form of CDMA2000 and WCDMA (UMTS). In the near future, the introduction of 3.5G HSPA and CDMA 1xEVDO Revs A and B will provide increased bandwidth to mobile devices, enabling an extensive range of broadband multimedia content and interactive applications. Should those Qualcomm-sourced 3.5G technologies gain global market acceptance by 2012, the door to 4G technologies such as OFDM/OFDMA, LTE and UMB will be opened in the world' s consumer markets. Predictably, Qualcomm already has a stake in all those 4G technologies by virtue of a series of shrewd acquisitions and in- house R&D.

By 2012, visiongain expects that close to 90% of the world' s mobile 5.3 billion subscribers will communicate wirelessly using technology originally developed by Qualcomm. So exactly how is Qualcomm working towards shaping the future of mobile communications? And equally as relevant, how did Qualcomm gain its technological hegemony over commercial air interfaces for wireless communications by 2006? This brand new report will tell you.

Central to the spread of these advanced radio technologies is the Qualcomm business model, a factor which turned the company from making a record $578million loss in 2001 to a profit of $360million by September 2002. Underpinned by key assets in the form of intellectual property in a range of wireless and multimedia technologies, the Qualcomm business model has first and foremost delivered profits, but also crucially helped shape a complex multi-player wireless ecosystem. In a further development to its business model, the San Diego- based chipmaker is also manoeuvring into the new realm of Mobile TV through its MediaFLO platform. So what lies behind Qualcomm, the company whose impact increasingly resonates throughout the global telecoms landscape?
