Qualcomm supports CDMA Smartphones

Qualcomm's Mobile Station Modem (MSM) MSM7525 for CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A devices will enable cost-effective Smartphones with advanced capabilities to be more readily affordable to wireless users.

Qualcomm has announced the expansion of its product lineup to enable mainstream CDMA2000 Smartphones.

Qualcomm's Mobile Station Modem (MSM) MSM7525 for CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A devices will enable cost-effective Smartphones with advanced capabilities to be more readily affordable to wireless users.

Qualcomm's MSM7525 chipset is scheduled to sample in the third quarter of this year, and handsets based on the chipset are expected to go into production by the end of 2008.

"Qualcomm has a long history of developing and commercialising advanced technologies that shape the day-to-day lives of mobile users", says Dr Sanjay K Jha, Chief Operating Officer of Qualcomm and President of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies.

"Smartphones deliver an unparalleled level of mobile performance and productivity, and Qualcomm's new MSM7525 chipset will now enable advanced Smartphones that are more affordable than ever before".

The MSM7525 solution's dual-processor architecture makes the MSM7525 capable of supporting the BREW 4.0 client, as well as popular third- party operating systems including Windows Mobile and Linux.

Integrated gpsOne technology enables Smartphones based on the MSM7525 chipset to feature assisted-GPS and standalone-GPS supporting a wide range of location services.

Devices based on Qualcomm's MSM7525 solution can also make use of advanced mobile broadband networks with support for CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A and backward compatibility to EV-DO Rel 0 and CDMA2000 1X.

The advanced multimedia features on the MSM7525 chipset include 5.0Mpixel camera, 30frame/s WQVGA video recording/playback and compatibility with most popular audio/video codecs.

The MSM7525 solution comes in a compact 11 x 11mm package size.
