Qualcomm Incorporated, a leading developer and innovator of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and other advanced wireless technologies, today announced that Federal District Judge James V. Selna has issued an injunction against certain Qualcomm products for the United States market that were found to infringe three Broadcom patents. Qualcomm is reviewing the complex ruling and expects it will require further clarification from the court on various aspects of the ruling, including the effect of Verizon’s existing license agreement with Broadcom.The ruling provides a “sunset” provision that stays the order until Jan. 31, 2009 for QChat and 1x/EV-DO products that were found to infringe any of the three patents by providing Qualcomm a limited license, subject to an ongoing royalty payment. This license is limited to products that were sold to customers on or before the jury verdict was delivered on May 29, 2007. The ‘010 and ‘317 patents apply only to Qualcomm’s QChat and 1x/EV-DO products. Qualcomm is continuing the development of work-around solutions for the ‘010 and ‘317 patents.

The order imposes an immediate injunction on WCDMA products for the U.S. market that were found to infringe the ‘686 video encoding patent. Qualcomm today announced the availability of new chips that have already been sampled to customers and it expects to have hardware and software work-arounds to the ‘686 patent commercially available in handsets before the end of the first calendar quarter of 2008.

While Qualcomm will attempt to obtain further relief and clarity from the courts on certain aspects of the order, the inability to obtain such relief will likely have an immediate, short-term impact as handset customers transition to new designs for WCDMA products relating to the ‘686 patent, medium-term impact to certain products in the development pipeline for the U.S. market, and longer-term ability to implement work-arounds in time for commercial availability of handsets by the January 2009 sunset expiration.

Qualcomm is evaluating all of its options, including seeking appropriate stays and appeals and will comply with all directives and orders of the court. The United States Patent Office has also instituted a reexamination of the validity of the ‘317 patent claims.

Hop-on, Inc., a leading developer and marketer of wireless phones and accessories, and one of only three American manufacturers of CDMA phones, announced today that it will introduce two new 450 MHz CDMA cell phones, the 1912 and the 1913, to their line of innovative, affordable cellular devices. Hop-on is best known for using their own inventive, cutting-edge technology to create, build and market the first disposable cell phone, which is the most cost-effective CDMA phone on the market.The 1912 and 1913 models feature internal antennas and a sleek, light-weight design. Both models have full-color screens, while the 1913 utilizes a higher-resolution screen for sharper images, making either handset the perfect choice in low-end phones for consumers and carriers in emerging markets, who tend to favor enhanced American standard products over the cheaper versions out of Asia.

“The challenge of building a low-end phone is building one that is high-quality,” says Hop-on’s President, Peter Michaels. “We are very excited to introduce our new phones because they are sleek and stylish, while still remaining affordable. Cell phones are a status symbol, especially within the emerging markets. The 1912 and 1913 empower these people to buy them because they look and perform so sharply. We look forward to showing them to customers in target markets within Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and South America.”

Both the 1912 and the 1913 are fully-tested and ready for mass production in a number of countries, including Russia, Romania, Czech Republic, Georgia, Uzbekistan, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Uganda, Nigeria and several Middle Eastern nations. With a price range around $60-$70, the 1912 and the 1913 will cost much less than any competitive phone on the market while offering far-better features.

Leading Insurance Industry Franchisor Rolls Out Wireless Voice and Data Services To Enhance Agent Productivity and Customer Service

Brooke Franchise Corporation has selected Cingular Wireless to make voice and data services available to its network of more than 700 franchise locations in a highly competitive insurance industry. The two-year national contract gives franchisees access to a variety of devices and services, including those based on Cingular’s UMTS/HSDPA technology.

In addition to voice-only handsets, Cingular will provide Brooke Franchise Corporation and its franchisees with access to a portfolio of integrated voice/data devices, including the EDGE-based Cingular 8125 Pocket PC, Cingular 2125 Smartphone and HP iPAQ 6500 Pocket PC, and Cingular LaptopConnect cards enabled for Cingular’s 3G-based BroadbandConnect service.

According to Shawn Lowry, president of Brooke Franchise Corporation, Cingular’s wireless voice services will help Brooke agents avoid missing important phone calls by forwarding calls from their office phone to their mobile device. Brooke agents will use Cingular’s UMTS/HSDPA- and EDGE-based wireless data services to manage their e-mail while mobile and access the company’s BMS agency management system and other Web-based programs to do on- site rate quoting and other tasks.

“Brooke agents need to be confident they can effectively conduct business regardless of where they are,” said Lowry. “Whether it’s accessing voice mail while out of the office or providing quotes at a client location, the insurance business is predicated on sending and receiving information quickly and accurately. Cingular’s voice and data services will effectively allow Brooke agents to ‘beat the streets’ and still conduct business while on-the- go, which we feel will be a huge asset to help them achieve their full sales potential.”

“Brooke Franchise Corporation is a prime example of a technologically savvy company that is putting wireless to work to build a competitive advantage in the marketplace,” said Tom Erdman, vice president of Cingular Wireless’ corporate markets group. “Cingular’s world-class wireless and data services will provide Brooke franchisees with the tools they need to be even more productive when away from the office and provide an enhanced level of customer service.”

Cingular’s supercharged, UMTS/HSDPA-based Cingular BroadbandConnect service is currently available currently in 145 major metropolitan areas including 65 of the top 100 largest cities in 33 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, DC. This wireless broadband network offers average download speeds between 400-700 kilobits per second (kbps), with bursts to more than one megabit per second (mbps). Outside of Cingular’s 3G coverage area, users seamlessly connect with Cingular’s nationwide* EDGE wireless data network, the largest national high-speed wireless data network in the U.S. with availability in more than 13,000 cities and towns and along some 40,000 miles of major highways, provides average download speeds of up to 135kbps. UMTS/ HSDPA is a global standard and natural 3G evolutionary path for GSM providers with 142 UMTS networks in 61 countries and 72 HSDPA networks currently available.

Sprint today announced the launch of Sprint Wireless Integration, a product that extends customers’ premises-based PBX features and functionality to their mobile phones. The solution offers business customers additional value and new capabilities by integrating Avaya “Extension to Cellular” capabilities and new Sprint network advancements.

Sprint Wireless Integration features include providing users with one phone number that simultaneously rings both the desk phone and mobile phone, along with one converged enterprise voicemail inbox. It also extends PBX features like conferencing and call forwarding to the mobile phone so users can get all the functionality of their desk phone even while away from the office. For example, mobile users can make intra-company calls by simply dialing the four-digit extension of the person they want to reach, just as they would from the office desk phone – with no access numbers to dial or codes to enter first.

Built within Sprint’s IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture, Sprint Wireless Integration is the industry’s first “hosted mobility” solution. “By converging wireline and wireless functionality, Sprint Wireless Integration provides a better overall service – one that is more functional and also makes communication more simple and effective,” said Tony Krueck, vice president of product management and development, Sprint. “This solution is a great example of the promise of Fixed/Mobile Convergence.”

Lowers telecom costs while extending accessibility, simplifying management
Providing PBX functionality to users’ mobile phones can provide businesses the power to simplify management of voice services. By effectively making wireless phones an extension of the enterprise voice system, network administrators reduce the number of disparate networks they manage while providing a consistent service to both desk and mobile phone users. In some cases, wireless phones can now serve as full-featured “desk phone replacements”, allowing businesses to reduce costs by beginning to replace their desk phones with more flexible mobile phones.

Wireless Integration provides additional telecom cost savings since outbound mobile calls routed through the customer’s premise-based PBX are considered “on-net” and don’t incur mobile usage charges. Mobile-to-international calls also can be routed through the customer’s PBX or international VPN, reducing rates significantly.

Sprint Wireless Integration is currently available to businesses with Avaya Communication Manager enterprise telephony PBX. Sprint will be announcing support for similar solutions with other major PBX providers in early 2007.

Sprint Wireless Integration provides:

Features

One phone number with simultaneous ring to both the desk phone and mobile phone (using the existing desk phone number)
One voicemail inbox using the enterprise voicemail platform
Abbreviated (e.g., four-digit) intra-company dialing from the mobile phone
Class-of-service extended to mobile calls for better control
Mobile call tracking/logging by the telecom manager using the PBX
Savings

Outbound mobile calls routed through the enterprise PBX are “on-net” and included in the monthly service fee. (Inbound calls to the mobile phone do incur minutes.)
Mobile-to-international calls are billed as if from the enterprise PBX or VPN
Desk phones can be eliminated if desired
Billed as an add-on feature ($20/month) to an existing Sprint CDMA Wireless Plan
Requirements

Premise-based Avaya Communications Manager (IP or TDM)
Sprint CDMA mobile phone with data capability
Sprint Dedicated IP or Global MPLS VPN connection

Eatoni Ergonomics, the software developer that makes it easy to enter text on hand-held devices, has developed a new multi-language mobile email application, Eatoni Mail, which simplifies the sending and reading of email on a mobile phone. Howard Gutowitz, Eatoni CEO announced today.Eatoni Mail runs on the BREW (Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless) platform, and uses Eatoni’s LetterWise predictive text solution. Eatoni Mail makes it easier to enter email messages on a mobile phone by reducing the number of keystrokes used to type text on a telephone keypad. It also can instantly increase the font size of words appearing on the phone’s screen, eliminating the chore of attempting to read the small print usually associated with text on phones and making it particularly valuable to people on both ends of the age spectrum.

Eatoni’s LetterWise is a modeless, “what you see is what you get” text entry system that is even simpler than multi-tap. LetterWise needs about half as many keystrokes as regular multi-tap. With LetterWise it’s easy to enter proper names, URL’s, slang and unconventional language on a cell phone or other handheld device.

Eatoni Email is equipped to handle incoming mail in many different encodings, of particular value for languages with non-Latin scripts.

“Eatoni Mail solves the problem of how to write and read email on the common mobile phone,” Gutowitz said. “Designed for the average consumer, Eatoni Mail allows phone users to check their email and send messages through any email program running over a POP server, such as Gmail, Yahoo, MSN, Hotmail and AOL. And the ability to convert text to a large font makes mobile phone-based emailing accessible to all age groups.”

The first version of Eatoni Mail works in three languages, English, Spanish and Russian. LetterWise works in 150 different languages, and Eatoni Mail can be tailored to almost any language.

According to a recent study CDMA phones capable of running the BREW platform make up about 20 percent of all handset shipments per year. That could be as many as 144 million globally in 2005, and around half that are in the U.S.

“Eatoni’s goal has always been to simplify the text writing experience on handheld devices,” Gutowitz said. “Delivering on BREW a better way to write and read email will help us achieve our mission of taking away the frustration associated with entering text on handheld devices, and making typing on a phone as easy as typing words on a desk top keyboard.”

Its products have been integrated into a wide range of products and platforms, including remote controls for TVs, cordless DECT phones, SIM cards, PDAs, and GSM and CDMA cell phones.

SRS Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRSL) , one of the world’s leading providers of audio, voice and surround sound technologies, today announced that the first SRS WOW XT(TM) audio enhanced smartphone goes on sale today at Verizon Wireless retail outlets. The new phone, the Samsung SCH-i730, is a Microsoft(R) Windows Mobile(TM) PocketPC 2003 dual-band Code Division Multiple Access (”CDMA”) smartphone, which includes MP3 capability. Samsung Electronics enabled WOW XT to provide an immersive 3D stereo image and bass enhancement for any audio playback through this stereo headphone and stereo speaker-equipped handset. Consumers can now purchase the SCH-i730, online and in retail stores such as Verizon, Best Buy, and select Radio Shack locations. Verizon Wireless is the second largest wireless carrier in the United States.

The SCH-i730 is the first WOW XT-enabled mobile phone ever shipped into the U.S. market, an important milestone in SRS Labs’ business strategy to grow its licensing revenue from wireless devices. Samsung is a current SRS Labs licensee and has developed and shipped several CDMA phones featuring SRS WOW technology for the Korean market since 2003.

The SCH-i730 with WOW XT highlights several important “firsts” for SRS Labs in the wireless market:

The i730 also marks the first WOW XT-enabled handset on the Intel Xscale PCA-27x processor, which has been touted by the industry for improved processing performance of handheld devices with optimized power consumption.

“Our success in the wireless market continues to expand and we are thrilled it has finally reached the U.S. market,” said Thomas C.K. Yuen, SRS Labs’ chairman and CEO. “The rapid adoption of our WOW technology within the MP3 audio enhancement market has motivated leading handset makers such as Samsung to license our SRS WOW technology to provide incredible audio performance from their handsets. This enables users to take full advantage of multimedia wireless services and handset features including ring tones, MP3 music or full 3G streaming video. As we’ve experienced in other countries, the U.S. consumers will now be able to enjoy an incredible music, gaming, ring tone and multimedia listening experience on their mobile phones.”

High-Tier Sliding Nokia 6265, Entry-Level Folding Nokia 2255 and Entry-Level Nokia 2125 Make Debut

 Boasting a combination of fresh new styling and Nokia (NYSE:NOK) quality and ease of use, Nokia unveiled three new CDMA handsets during the annual Nokia Connection event in Singapore. The high-tier Nokia 6265 camera phone delivers a 2 megapixel imaging sensor in a modern sliding design. For the entry-level market, the folding Nokia 2255 phone and Nokia 2125 offer 64K color displays and convenient integrated speakerphones at an attractive price point. The Nokia 2125 is expected to be available during the third quarter of 2005, while the Nokia 2255 and Nokia 6265 are expected to be available during the fourth quarter of 2005.

“Having announced seven new CDMA handsets featuring three unique form factors over the past four months, Nokia is proving its commitment to the CDMA market by quickly refreshing its already strong lineup with products designed to appeal to the widest range of customers,” said Timo Ihamuotila, senior vice president of Nokia’s CDMA business unit. “The three phones we have announced today truly enhance our CDMA portfolio. With a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth technology, integrated digital music player and its large crystal clear high- resolution QVGA screen, the Nokia 6265 will strongly appeal to the experienced wireless user, while the Nokia 2255 and 2125 offer great design and a strong feature set for those just entering the wireless world in established and emerging markets.”

Nokia 6265: A winning combination of technology and design
Nokia’s most feature-rich CDMA phone to date, the Nokia 6265 packs an extra-large 240 x 320 pixel display, 2 megapixel camera with LED flash (effective resolution 1.92 megapixels), digital music player, Bluetooth wireless technology and miniSD card support into a compact sliding design that measures a mere 22 mm thin. When operated in camera mode, the Nokia 6265 is designed to be used horizontally, resulting in a more conventional photography experience. The Nokia 6265 includes 24MB of on board memory, and supports all available sizes of widely available miniSD cards, including 512MB and 1GB versions that can store hundreds of 2 megapixel images or digital music files.

Music fans will enjoy the built in FM radio and digital music player which supports MP3, AAC and eAAC+ files, especially when paired with the optional wireless stereo headset. Integrated Bluetooth technology also allows the Nokia 6265 to be used with a long and growing list of compatible devices, including a wide selection of wireless headsets and car kits. The Nokia 6265 supports other forms of entertainment content, including 15 frame per second streaming video and downloadable BREW 3.1 or Java 3D applications — both of which are crisply rendered on the 262K color QVGA display.

Nokia 2255: Compact fold at a compact price
Nokia’s latest fold-style CDMA model phone, the Nokia 2255 is engineered to deliver reliable wireless performance at an entry-level price point while not forgetting the importance of a compelling design and a strong feature set. The very compact Nokia 2255 includes a bright 128 x 128 pixel 64K color display with user selectable “themes”, downloadable MIDI ringtones and even an integrated FM radio.

For maximum productivity, the Nokia 2255 features business applications including a spreadsheet, calculator and currency converter and a handsfree speakerphone perfect for impromptu conference calls. Outside of work, three included games help to pass the time, while a built in flashlight can help to brighten up the dark of night.

Nokia 2125: Classic style for the entry category
The entry-level Nokia 2125 features a compact design with metallic trim to accentuate its classically designed form. Only 21.5 mm thick and weighing in at 85 grams, the Nokia 2125 features a 64K color screen, handsfree speakerphone and an integrated flashlight — an attractive balance of size, price and feature set.

The easy-to-use interface makes the Nokia 2125 perfect for first-time and prepaid users, who will also appreciate the three built-in games, user- changeable Xpress-on color covers and downloadable MIDI ringtone support. The Nokia 2125 also boasts a number of features unexpected on an entry-level product such as voice dialing, voice commands and voice recording, calculator, calendar, alarm clock, and an extensive phonebook supporting multiple entries.
