Qualcomm, also known as Qualcomm Inc., Qualcomm USA, or Qualcomm USA, was founded in 1985 and is headquartered in San Diego, California, USA. In fiscal year 2022, Qualcomm's revenue reached $44.2 billion. Currently, Qualcomm has more than 35,400 employees located around the world. Qualcomm is the world's leading wireless technology innovator and a driving force behind the development, commercialization and scaling of 5G. We are committed to inventing breakthrough basic technologies. Revolutionizing the way the world connects, computes, and communicates. By connecting phones to the Internet, Qualcomm's invention ushered in the era of mobile Internet. Today, Qualcomm's foundational technology powers the entire mobile ecosystem, with its inventions embedded in every 3G, 4G, and 5G smartphone. Qualcomm brings the advantages of mobile technology to new industries such as automotive, Internet of Things, and computing, creating a new world where people and everything can communicate and interact smoothly. Qualcomm Incorporated includes the Technology Licensing business (QTL) and the vast majority of our patent portfolio. Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (QTI) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm and, together with its subsidiaries, operates all of Qualcomm's engineering, research and development activities and all products and services businesses, including its semiconductor business. Qualcomm has been included in the Fortune 500 for more than 10 consecutive years; Since 2000, it has been ranked as one of the "World's 500 Most valuable Companies" by the Financial Times. In Fortune's 2019 list of "Companies Changing the World," Qualcomm ranked No. 1 for its significant contributions to the development of wireless technology and its push for 5G. Qualcomm was also named "The World's Most Innovative Company for 2020" by Fast Company. Since 2016, Qualcomm China has been awarded the title of "China's Most Respected Enterprise" for four consecutive years, which is co-sponsored by the Economic Observer and Peking University, and is an authoritative award reflecting the multi-dimensional strength of enterprise operation, technological innovation, social responsibility and reputation. With Qualcomm's support, China's leading equipment and terminal manufacturers are not only focused on meeting domestic demand, but also achieving impressive results in overseas markets. Over the past six years, Qualcomm has continuously increased its investment in China and set up a dedicated team to better serve Chinese customers and export business. In October 2016, Qualcomm established an innovation center in Shenzhen to integrate and strengthen its resources and investment in Shenzhen, equipped with a number of leading laboratories to better support Chinese partners' product technology testing and overseas business development, and further deepen its long-term commitment to the Chinese market. In 2018, Qualcomm and China's leading terminal manufacturers announced the "5G Pilot Plan", whose goal is to help Chinese manufacturers launch the first 5G terminals in the world. At present, this plan has achieved remarkable results, and the first 5G smart phones launched in major countries and regions around the world are products from Chinese manufacturers.

In 1985, American electronics engineer Irving Jacobs and seven other people founded Qualcomm in California. Due to a lack of capital, the founding team initially had to rent rudimentary office space, and employees had to work part-time to keep the company running. Qualcomm's first product was a modem for ground-to-ground station communications. In 1989, Qualcomm successfully developed the world's first wireless communication system prototype using CDMA technology. This breakthrough digital communication technology improved spectrum utilization over analog systems of the time. But the major operators are not optimistic about CDMA, Qualcomm founding team after all the difficulties, and finally convince operators to adopt this disruptive technology. In 1991, Qualcomm's CDMA technology was first commercially used in the wireless telephone network of the United States satellite Communications company. At the same time, Qualcomm began to transition to the direction of smart phone chips, the goal is to use chip technology to make mobile phones have more powerful computing power. Qualcomm also faced patent disputes from a number of companies and ultimately defended its CDMA innovations after a years-long legal battle. By the mid-1990s, Qualcomm's CDMAOne technology had captured nearly half of the digital cellular market in the United States. In 1998, Qualcomm successfully introduced a single-chip solution integrating baseband and RF, which significantly reduced the cost of mobile phone manufacturing. This was followed by the launch of the Snapdragon mobile application processor, which quickly became the dominant smartphone chip. In the 21st century, Qualcomm has grown into an industry leader, but it still faces many strong competitors. In order to maintain technology leadership, Qualcomm invests more than 20% of its revenue annually in research and development innovation, and also acquires key technology companies. At the same time, Qualcomm continues to increase its investment in communication technologies such as LTE and 5G, and continues to lead the development of the industry. In recent years, Qualcomm has increased its layout in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and autonomous driving. In 2021, Qualcomm announced the "Smartphone 3.0" plan, which aims to generate a new leap in mobile computing power. Qualcomm is also actively expanding into new business areas such as IDC server chips. In March 2022, Swedish automotive technology group Veoneer said Qualcomm Inc (QCOM.US) and SSW Partners would close their acquisition deal for the company on April 1.

In addition, Qualcomm's emphasis on the Chinese market is also reflected in close collaboration with Chinese semiconductor companies to achieve win-win results.  In December 2015, a subsidiary of Qualcomm increased capital to SMIC Semiconductor Co., Ltd. in order to help SMIC accelerate the construction of China's first 12-inch block production line and improve the overall chip processing industry chain in China. With the support of Qualcomm, SMIC has completed the mass production of 28 nm silicon wafer bump processing and 14 nm silicon bump processing, and announced the start of Qualcomm 10 nm silicon wafer ultra-high density bump processing certification in September 2017.  In October 2016, Qualcomm established Qualcomm Communication Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. in Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, the first time involved in semiconductor manufacturing and testing business, and constantly expanded its manufacturing layout in China. The Internet of Things is an important industrial support for the realization of the "Internet +" strategy. In February 2016, Qualcomm and China Chuangda announced the establishment of a joint venture, Chongqing Chuangtong Lianda Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. in February 2016, which is committed to accelerating the development and innovation of the Internet of Things in China, including providing iot solution support based on Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The joint venture has reached technical cooperation with a number of VR, drone, robot and other intelligent terminal manufacturers and helped its products to market. As one of the first member enterprises to join China Unicom's Internet of Things Industry Alliance, Qualcomm also established a joint innovation center with China Unicom to deepen cooperation on IoT-related equipment and technologies. Over the past few years, Qualcomm has established joint innovation centers with local partners in Nanjing, Chongqing, Qingdao, Nanchang and Hangzhou to focus on Iot-based innovation and development.
