The Rise Of Qualcomm Comes From Inventions, Innovations, And Subverts

From a small company that nobody knows in San Diego to today's hegemony in the field of wireless communications, Qualcomm's growth comes from invention, innovation and subversion. It also comes from promoting market opportunities brought about by industrial development with partners.

"As

Adventurers and pioneers, we are committed to large-scale R & D investment, which means that we are bound to take many risks.

In this process, many technologies and products have become the paved stone for later successful products, and some technologies have been applied to today's products, which have contributed to the field of wireless communications and provide a very competitive product for the entire ecological chain.

On the open day of Qualcomm development, Wang Xiang, senior vice president of Qualcomm, Greater China, said.

At this stage, Qualcomm turned the CDMA concept into a practical technology and widely promoted; in 2007, Qualcomm released the snapdragon mobile platform, which is the popular Xiaolong brand in China after several years. In 2000, Qualcomm started the research and development of OFDMA. Today, it is the core of 4G technology. When it announced the first LTE standard in 2008, Qualcomm engineers have been studying the technology for 8 years.

According to Wang Xiang, as of the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, Qualcomm's R & D investment totaled more than $30 billion. According to the GAAP guidelines, Qualcomm's total R & D spending in the fiscal year of 2013 exceeded US $5 billion, accounting for 20% of the annual revenue. Qualcomm was in the leading position in the industry compared with other companies in the mobile semiconductor industry.

In the 90s of last century, Qualcomm opened four branches in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Xi'an, and set up two R & D centers in Beijing and Shanghai.

Since the introduction of technology and products to China for the first time more than ten years ago, Qualcomm has been working closely with participants in China's wireless industry to provide support for the integration of resources in the decisive role of the business, which has helped many Chinese brands to successfully launch terminal and mobile services in the international market and has achieved good results.

Not long ago, Qualcomm announced that it was 28 nm with SMIC.

Production and wafer fabrication services are working closely together to produce and manufacture Xiaolong processor in China, which will support the upgrading of 28 nm manufacturing process and capacity in SMIC.

In addition, Qualcomm is also an investment company, which includes investment in its own R & D, as well as investment in potential and creative other wireless technology companies.

Not long ago, Qualcomm announced the new strategic investment plan with a total amount of up to US $150 million in Beijing, aiming at Chinese start-ups at all stages.

Dr. Fan Mingxi, senior director of Qualcomm R & D, was one of the enablers of Qualcomm R & D team in China that year. According to him, Qualcomm's R & D in China mainly focused on innovation consistent with global research and development goals, followed by the development and cooperation of industrial chain with innovative achievements, including cooperation with research institutes and universities.

It belongs to the Key Laboratory of intelligent information processing, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Wang Ruiping's research group is called vipl visual information processing and learning, and Qualcomm has been working for five years, focusing on human-computer interaction.

Wang Ruiping said: "through cooperation with industry leading enterprises, we can combine our technology and products more closely. This cooperation is a very effective win-win."
