Qualcomm disdain Intel push LTE multi-mode chip

Last month, Bill Davidson, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations at Qualcomm, said in an interview with Communications World Net that Qualcomm has advanced to third-generation solutions for LTE TDD/FDD multimode chips, and many of its competitors are still in the process. During the development phase of the first generation of products, "we are absolutely in a leading position in this regard."

Talking about potential rival Intel executives and departmental adjustments, Bill Davidson said that we are very respectful of Intel, they have a strong investment in a project, and promote its rapid development capabilities.

However, relatively speaking, Qualcomm has always been focused on the wireless field, "because we have been a wireless company since the beginning, rather than just having some wireless projects throughout the company."

Recently, Intel has begun to make efforts in LTE multimode chips, and hopes to make achievements in the field of mobile communications. Is it possible to erode the market share of Qualcomm?

Bill Davidson said that our leading position in the LTE field is the result of our many years of development. We also hope that we can continue to maintain our competitive advantage and can continue to advance in this area. "It should be our competitors thinking about how to meet this challenge and how to further develop their products."

According to the industry's expectation that China is expected to begin commercial use of TD LTE within this year. Bill Davidson said that Qualcomm has been investing very heavily in LTE, and we are also the first company to implement LTE chip commercialization. "We are well prepared in this area of ​​LTE. Qualcomm's LTE trial in China Mobile It is also the winner of the first major mobile reference design, so we are still very confident."

Interestingly, Qualcomm has also extended its reach to Intel’s hinterland. Its reference design (QRD) product portfolio has expanded its support for tablet PCs to form an erosion of Intel’s dominant superbook market. On the other hand, Xiaolong 800 The family of processors will support the Microsoft Windows RT 8.1 operating system, which is definitely bad news for Intel.
