Qualcomm was founded in 1985, headquartered in San Diego, California, USA, with more than 33,000 employees worldwide. Qualcomm is a global leader in the research and development of 3G, 4G and 5G technologies. At present, it has provided technical authorization to many manufacturers around the world, involving all brands of telecommunications equipment and consumer electronic equipment around the world.
The establishment of Qualcomm.
1985, 52-year-old Jacobs and six old colleagues decided to continue their business after retiring from their own company Linkabit Corp At the beginning of their business, they didn't have a business plan, didn't have much money and didn't have any products in their minds, but they all knew wireless technology, so they finally decided to start a business in the fields of digital and wireless communication.
It is against this background that Qualcomm was founded. The word "Qualcomm" means high-quality communication and represents the dreams and expectations of Jacobs and his colleagues at the beginning of their business.
Qualcomm's customers and partners include not only the world-renowned manufacturers of mobile phones, tablets, routers and systems, but also the world-leading wireless operators. Qualcomm is committed to helping all members of the wireless industry chain succeed.
Adhering to the consistent spirit of innovation and relying on technological innovation and progress, Qualcomm has been leading the evolution of 3G, 4G and next-generation wireless technologies, and at the same time promoting the development of wireless communication industry, so that advanced wireless digital technologies can better benefit mankind.

The development of Qualcomm in China;
China Qualcomm has also actively contributed to the development of China's mobile communication industry in technical research, personnel training and industrialization of scientific research achievements.
1998, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Qualcomm jointly established a research center, which has made remarkable achievements for more than ten years. Qualcomm has gradually expanded its joint research and development projects to many well-known universities, such as Tsinghua University and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.
Dr Marta Karczewicz, Vice President of Qualcomm Technology, is a pioneer of video compression technology, with nearly 400 patents worldwide. Her invention has played an important role in many video compression standards, such as advanced video coding and efficient video coding.
Dr Marta Karczewicz's work focuses on video coding and decoding, which is the basic technology to compress a large amount of original video data and transmit it through cellular network.
Jim Thompson, executive vice president and chief technology officer of Qualcomm Engineering Company, said: "It is no exaggeration to say that without the invention of Karczewicz, the video transmission we enjoy every day today would not be possible. Her nomination for this prestigious award once again proves the value of the basic technology invented by Qualcomm and that we have world-class inventors. "
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.
