Re: Qualcomm making it easier

said by xenophon See Profile :

Qualcomm is making it easier as they will be coming out with CDMA/LTE (and HSPA?) chipsets and base station cards. It may just be a card upgrade in the cellsites rather than a forklift upgrade.

If it turns out to be relatively cheap and easy to migrate CDMA to LTE, don't be surprised if Sprint also goes LTE in 5-7 years or so when Verizon does. Sprint will probably be owned by someone else by then anyway to help fund the upgrade.

WiMAX could become their consumer products wireless division and LTE becomes the cellphone division. Just speculating...
Qualcomm got their patents into UTMS/HSDPA, so why do they need their proprietary CDMA standard to make them money? They just sit back and watch the $ roll in.
