ARM is a soft core, Texas Instruments is good at DSP, and Qualcomm is 3G.
ARM(Advanced RISC Machines) is a well-known enterprise in the microprocessor industry, and has designed a large number of RISC processors, related technologies and software with high performance, low cost and low energy consumption. This technology has the characteristics of high performance, low cost and energy saving. It is suitable for many fields, such as embedded control, consumer/educational multimedia, DSP and mobile applications. ARM has licensed its technology to many famous semiconductor, software and OEM manufacturers in the world, and each manufacturer has obtained a unique set of ARM-related technologies and services. With this cooperative relationship, ARM soon became the creator of many global RISC standards. At present, 30 semiconductor companies have signed hardware technology licensing agreements with ARM, including large companies such as Intel, IBM, LG Semiconductor, NEC, Sony, Philips and National Semiconductor. As for the partners of the software system, they include a series of well-known companies such as Microsoft, Shengyang and MRI. ARM architecture is the first RISC microprocessor designed for low budget market. ARM, the abbreviation of Advanced RISC Machines, can be considered as the name of a company, a general term for a microprocessor and a technology. 1On April 26th, 985, the first ARM prototype was born in Acorn Computer Co., Ltd. in Cambridge, England, and was manufactured by SanJoseVLSI Technology Company in California, USA. At the end of 1980s, ARM developed rapidly into Acorn's desktop product, which formed the foundation of computer education in Britain. 1990, Advanced RISC Machine Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as ARM Limited) was established. In 1990s, ARM 32-bit embedded RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) processor expanded to the whole world, occupying a leading position in the application field of embedded system with low power consumption, low cost and high performance. ARM neither produces nor sells chips, but only sells chip technology licenses.
Texas Instruments (TI) is a leading semiconductor company in the world, providing innovative digital signal processing (DSP) and simulator technology for real-world signal processing. In addition to semiconductor business, it also provides solutions including sensing and control, educational products and digital light source processing. TI is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, USA, and has manufacturing, design or sales organizations in more than 25 countries.

Qualcomm develops and provides innovative digital wireless communication products and services based on its CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) digital technology. Today, Qualcomm actively advocates the rapid deployment of 3G networks, mobile phones and applications around the world. The company is headquartered in San Diego, California, USA. Qualcomm's stock is a component of the S&P 500 index. The company's business covers advanced 3G chipset, system software, development tools and products, technical authorization, BREW application development platform, QChat, BREWChatVoIP solution technology, QPoint positioning solution, Eudora e-mail software, comprehensive wireless solutions including two-way data communication system, wireless consulting and network management services, MediaFLO system and GSM 1x technology, etc. Qualcomm has more than 3,000 patents and patent applications for CDMA and other technologies, and these standards have been widely adopted or recommended by global standard-setting bodies. Qualcomm has issued CDMA patent licenses to more than 125 telecom equipment manufacturers around the world. As a new technology, CDMA is rapidly sweeping the world and has occupied 20% of the wireless market. At present, the global CDMA users have exceeded 256 million, and 156 operators in 70 countries have commercialized 3GCDMA services. In 2002, Qualcomm's chip sales reached a record high; Since 1994, Qualcomm has provided more than1500 million chips to many manufacturers around the world, including China. With the development of China's next generation wireless technology, Qualcomm is committed to providing support to operators, manufacturers and developers in China. As the second largest wireless communication operator in China, China Unicom took the lead in launching the national CDMA network in early 2002. By June 2005, China Unicom had more than 365,438,000 CDMA users, which benefited from its advanced wireless voice and data services, expanding network coverage and nationwide data services based on the BREW platform provided by Qualcomm. By the end of 2004, China Unicom had more than 1 10,000 active users of BREW, more than 1 10,000 downloads of BREW applications, and more than 50 domestic mobile phone models supporting BREW. BREW is bringing an extraordinary experience to users in China. In August 2004, China Unicom and Qualcomm jointly launched the "World Wind" dual-mode mobile phone, through which users can enjoy high-speed and high-performance CDMA 1X voice and data services and GSM voice services at the same time. Multi-mode and multi-frequency terminal equipment has become the trend of 3G development in the future, which makes China operators ahead of the world for the first time. In order to meet the needs of users in personal navigation, child safety, sales staff management and logistics tracking services, Qualcomm began to develop a personal positioning technology specifically for wireless devices, namely gpsOne. Since 2003, China Unicom has launched the location service based on Qualcomm gpsOne technology on the BREW platform, which has covered the whole country. In June 2003, Qualcomm announced that it would invest 65,438 billion US dollars to support China's start-ups engaged in the development and commercialization of CDMA products, applications and services. This investment is gradually being realized. Up to now, three China enterprises have obtained investment. Qualcomm believes that the investment in China market will promote the global application of CDMA.

1in July, 985, seven men of insight gathered at the home of Dr. Owen Jacobs in San Diego to discuss important matters. These visionaries-Franklin Antonio, Adelia Coffman, Andrew Cohen, Klein Gilhousen, Irwin Jacbos, Andrew Viterbi and Harvey White finally reached an agreement and decided to create "quality communication". Their grand blueprint created Qualcomm Qualcomm, the most dazzling star in the telecom industry 20 years later. At the beginning of its establishment, Qualcomm mainly provided project research and development services for the wireless communication industry, and also set foot in limited product manufacturing. One of the company's early goals was to develop a commercial product. This is the birth of OmniTRACS? . Since 1988, Qualcomm's OmniTRACS system has been adopted by the freight industry, becoming the largest commercial satellite mobile communication system in the transportation industry. The early success made the company more innovative and challenged the traditional wireless technology standards. In 1989, the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) approved a digital technology called Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA). Only three months later, when the industry was still generally skeptical, Qualcomm introduced Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology for wireless and data products-its appearance changed the face of global wireless communication forever. Today, Qualcomm has more than 3,900 US patents and patent applications for CDMA and related technologies. Qualcomm has issued CDMA patent licenses to more than 138 telecom equipment manufacturers around the world. For more than 20 years, Qualcomm has led the changes in people's communication, work and lifestyle with its pioneering and innovative technology and enterprising spirit. Qualcomm enjoys an excellent reputation far beyond CDMA. Qualcomm is a member of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, one of the Fortune 500 companies, and the Minister of Labor &; #039; The winner of the opportunity award. Its excellent working environment, professionalism and professionalism have also enabled Qualcomm to win the "65,438+000 Best Companies to Work for" award from Fortune magazine for six consecutive years, and occupy a place in the "65,438+000 Best Management Companies" list of Industry Weekly. CIO magazine also selected Qualcomm as a 100 model enterprise with excellent operation and strategy.
