Qualcomm chose to take a different approach from traditional wireless standards. In 1989, the company introduced Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). This is an improved technology for wireless and data products that changed the global face of wireless communications forever (Qualcomm History, 2009). Code division multiple access (CDMA) is a channel access method utilized by various radio communication technologies. CDMA is what the wireless provider I work for uses today.
Qualcomm is a company with vision in both technology and how the world communicates by providing people a better way to stay in touch where they work and live. This company continues to create new and innovative products for consumers around the world. Qualcomm is currently embracing a next generation network technology called Long Term Evolution (LTE), a 4G broadband technology (Reuters, 2008).
Qualcomm has been recognized for many industry awards. Its corporate success includes; Fortune’s Most Admired Companies since 2002. Qualcomm has been voted Computerworld’s 100 Best Places to Work in IT since 2004. The company won PC Magazine’s 2008, Technology Excellence Award. Qualcomm continues to be in the forefront of the environmental movement, winning recognition for the Uptime Institutes 2009 Global Green 100, which honors companies’ energy efficient efforts by decreasing their carbon footprint. By staying focused in the technological arena and being mindful of the environment at the same time makes Qualcomm a world class leader.
I believe this pioneering, innovative and collaborative spirit has allowed Qualcomm to expand the boundaries of technology, while making changes in the world that provide more economical resources. This organization does not rest on its laurels, but continues to build a solid company through research, development and collaboration within the telecommunication industry.
