Qualcomm Inc. said on Wednesday that North American carriers running wireless networks based on the company's proprietary standard have begun receiving shipments of the next generation of high-speed phones and other devices.
San Diego-based Qualcomm said phones and wireless modems compliant with the 2000 1X standard of its Code Division Multiple Access technology had begun shipping from various vendors. Companies making these next-generation products include Kyocera Corp., LG Electronics Inc. and Sierra Wireless Inc.
A Qualcomm spokeswoman said all 29 CDMA carriers in North America, including market leader Verizon Wireless, have begun receiving the new equipment.
The CDMA chipsets that operate the devices began shipping in volume in October to manufacturers to produce the new devices, the company said.
Qualcomm derives the bulk of its revenue from licensing its technology to carriers and phone equipment makers.
It also designs the chipsets used in CDMA phones and other devices.
