3. History
Qualcomm was founded in 1985 by Irwin Jacobs, Andrew Viterbi, and six other co-founders. The company started off as a
contractor for the US government, specializing in digital wireless communication technology. In 1989, Qualcomm
introduced its first commercial product, the OmniTRACS satellite communication system, which was used primarily in the
transportation industry to track vehicles and shipments.
In the early 1990s, Qualcomm began developing CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) technology, which allowed
multiple users to share the same frequency band by assigning unique codes to each transmission. This breakthrough
technology became the foundation for the company's success, and Qualcomm eventually became a leading provider of
CDMA-based mobile communication systems and products.
Over the years, Qualcomm has continued to innovate and expand its product and service offerings, including the
development of 3G and 4G wireless technologies, the introduction of the Snapdragon processor for mobile devices, and
the expansion into new markets such as automotive, IoT, and healthcare. Today, Qualcomm is a global leader in wireless
technology and is dedicated to advancing the industry through research and development, industry partnerships, and
financial performance.
