from leading technology to a commercial success? look at such a high throughput technology companies is how to change the world.
1989 Chun When Qualcomm founder Elvin · James for the wireless communications industry at that time the 50 most influential leaders with CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access, code division multiple access) technology to build test network dials the first phone, no one would expect the entrepreneurs that have been nianguobanbai, the next 20 years profound changes in patterns of global wireless communications market. At that time, global wireless communications industry is in by the first generation of simulation technology to the second generation of digital technology and migration of critical points, but the industry was firmly in control in hands of Lucent, Ericsson, Nokia, these big companies in Europe and America. In the view of most critics, this is from Santiago and on the development of satellite communications systems for their livelihood advocated by startups of the CDMA technology, like most of the hands of the fanatical inventors as impractical invention, will eventually be thrown away.
This is a dream in the reality of a long process. As the most staunch supporters and practitioners of CDMA technology, over the following 20 years in the year, Qualcomm spared no effort to promote CDMA technology in the world: on the one hand around the carriers, by providing from chips to network solutions, attract carriers to the CDMA camp; on the other hand, through a wide range of licensing, terminal manufacturers, of solidarity can unite all forces, expanding the CDMA Industry chain.
in the wireless communications market between 2G and even 4G migrations, as CDMA technology patent holder of the main as well as the world's largest chip design company, Qualcomm is becoming the most hottest companies of mobile communication market. Fiscal year
2010, Qualcomm sales reached a record $ 10.9 billion, its market value has nearly hundreds of billions of dollars, but as the engine of traction from it is a scale trillions of dollars of industry. At the end of 2010, global already owned more than 1.21 billion GB CDMA users, total of 695 operators in 191 countries deploy a 3G business services, 250 manufacturers to provide consumers with more than 5,300 Terminal based on CDMA technology. This is a huge market, and is more attractive, industry boundaries it is following the evolution of technology and expanding —— more than just the effect of high flux of handheld mobile terminals, as “ Internet ” the development of more and more devices into its display platform.
high-throughput is a technology company, but the success of its success is not just technology. Although Qualcomm did not invent CDMA technology, but it opens up CDMA in this industry, and it is high-pass a unique business model and eco-systems thinking, eventually turned the wireless communication market in the past by the “ elite ” ruled situation, changed the industry's competitive landscape.
for example, the rise of Asian power in the communications industry today, has old patterns of impact to the wireless communications industry. Korea's Samsung, LG, Huawei, ZTE, China is becoming the most competitive enterprises in the market for wireless communications, and behind these enterprises, high-throughput figure is clearly visible.
of how a company can influence an industry? legend is a wonderful case of high throughput.
