Sep 02, 2004
After years of delay, third-generation (3G) mobile-phone networks are finally being switched on. How will the reality compare with the original vision?...Having swung too far towards pessimism, the industry is now becoming cautiously optimistic about 3G, says Tony Thornley, the president of Qualcomm, the firm that pioneered the technology that underpins all of the various technological flavours of 3G. Qualcomm has announced that it is having trouble meeting demand for W-CDMA radio chips

WHAT has come over the telecoms industry? The spectacular crash of 2001, with its associated bankruptcies, fraud and the destruction of around $1 trillion of investors' money, has evidently been forgotten. The gloom has given way to a fresh sense of opportunity and a renewed frenzy of dealmaking. The past couple of years have seen a series of huge takeovers and mergers among network operators and makers of telecoms equipment around the world.

The increasing availability of 1xEV-DO handsets could boost the number of CDMA-device shipments worldwide to 168 million this year, though the real ramp-up will occur in 2006, according to figures from Signals Research. The firm says it is expecting EV-DO terminals to contribute more to overall CDMA-handset shipments, taking into account the planned launch of EV-DO services by U.S. carrier Verizon Wireless, which is due to begin commercial service in February using devices from Audiovox, LG and Samsung.

WHAT has become of WiMAX? This is the wireless technology that is supposed to be about to take over the world, by extending Wi-Fi-like broadband internet access, now available only in small "hotspots", to whole cities, or even whole countries. But, like most new wireless technologies, WiMAX is late: testing to make sure gear from different vendors works together is taking longer than expected, and the first WiMAX products will not be available until early next year.

Adding to its already formidable arsenal of wireless patents, cell phone chipmaker Qualcomm (QCOM) plans to buy wireless gear startup Flarion Technologies for $600 million in cash and stock. Qualcomm is best known for developing the code division multiple access standard used in cell phones and networks throughout the U.S. and Asia. But as emerging technologies begin to compete with CDMA, Qualcomm looks to add other wireless patents to its portfolio. Flarion will help the company do that, says Qualcomm Chief Executive Paul Jacobs.

Like it or not, the computing world and all the benefits and problems it entails has reached cellular communications. Most people relish the positive things that bandwidth and sophisticated devices provide, but there's a downside as well.

Qualcomm Inc. agreed to buy closely held Flarion Technologies Inc. in a $600 million deal that could give Qualcomm patents and other weapons to use against a competing technology known as WiMAX. The San Diego company said the price consists of cash, stock and the assumption of options and warrants with a fair value of approximately $128 million. Qualcomm said it may pay an additional $205 million over the next few years if Flarion meets certain performance milestones.

Sprint Nextel Corp. announced today it is choosing a nascent technology known as WiMax to build a new wireless Internet network in the coming years, people familiar with the matter say. The move marks a significant win for backers of the new technology, such as Intel Corp. and Motorola Inc., while it would be a setback for wireless pioneer Qualcomm Inc, which is behind a rival technology.

Apparently unconnected decisions by U.S. operator Verizon Wireless and European equipment vendor Ericsson have fueled speculation about the technology choices for evolved 3G and future 4G networks and threaten to deepen the ideological schism between equipment vendors.

It would be nice to image that a Mobile WiMAX strategy that is effective in one country could easlty be replicated in others...
