Description

Founded in 1985 by Irwin M. Jacobs, Andrew Viterbi, and others, Qualcomm has played a pivotal role in the development of wireless technologies. Initially focused on developing satellite communication systems, the company shifted its focus to CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) technology, which became a fundamental component of mobile communication standards. The company registered their first logo trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on July 25, 1989.

Qualcomm's innovations have significantly influenced the evolution of mobile communications, enabling the widespread adoption of 3G, 4G, and now 5G technologies. The company's contributions extend beyond hardware to include semiconductors, software, and licensing, making it a key player in the global telecommunications industry.
