QUALCOMM and Connexion by Boeing Testing In-Flight Mobile Phone Communications

Monday August 8, 2005 07:19:15

QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM) , pioneer and innovator of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and other advanced wireless technologies, and Connexion by Boeing, a business unit of The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) , announced today that they are working together to test and demonstrate in-flight wireless communications aboard Connexion One, a specially equipped Boeing 737-400 aircraft.

The companies have performed a series of test flights that successfully demonstrated the simultaneous use of CDMA and GSM mobile phone technology over an on-board network with infrastructure and integration support from UTStarcom, Inc. (NASDAQ:UTSI) . Using standard cellular communications, a small in-cabin CDMA2000 and GSM "picocell," or small cellular base station, is connected to the worldwide terrestrial network by an air-to-ground satellite link provided by the Connexion by Boeing high-speed airborne network.

Passengers on the test flight were able to use BREW(R)-based data applications via QUALCOMM's BREW solution. The BREW solution enables users to download business applications, 3D games, information and communication applications such as email and instant messenger wirelessly, over the air. Passengers also downloaded and watched video clips and made phone calls on a variety of mobile devices including 3G mobile phones. The data tests were conducted over CDMA2000 1X and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO and voice calls were made over CDMA2000 and GSM.

"According to an October 2004 report, CSP Associates estimates the penetration rate of mobile phones for passengers in the United States is approximately 70 percent and expected to rise to 90 percent in the next three years," said Paul Guckian, senior director of technology for QUALCOMM. "The cellphone is quickly becoming the most personal information and entertainment device today, and passengers want to make the best use of travel time by accessing business and entertainment applications while in-flight. QUALCOMM and Connexion by Boeing are cooperating to make this capability a reality."

"Connexion by Boeing is committed to providing evolutionary new wireless services that provide passengers with additional choices for how to communicate while airborne, while also providing air carriers with a competitive edge within in the industry," said David Friedman, vice president of marketing and direct sales for Connexion by Boeing. "What makes the Connexion system so unique is its capability to provide high-speed connectivity and entertainment services with a bandwidth that can support simultaneous data activity to a large number of passengers who board commercial aircrafts every day carrying mobile phones."

QUALCOMM and Connexion by Boeing will continue to perform research and development supporting the feasibility of in-flight mobile telephony and evaluate the potential for interference from multi-technology picocell networks and mobile phones to other aircraft systems and terrestrial networks.

Safety is a top priority and it is with this in mind that QUALCOMM and Connexion by Boeing have committed to research and testing to ensure there is no potential for interference with both aircraft systems and terrestrial networks. Working in close collaboration with Boeing Commercial Airplanes, the testing, which began in May 2005, will continue through September 2005.

QUALCOMM is well positioned to continue to lead the research and development of an in-cabin wireless system that does not compromise the safety of the aircraft or the reliability of terrestrial wireless networks. QUALCOMM has worked closely with a number of aviation industry forums, such as the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics and World Airline Entertainment Association, and government agencies including the FCC and FAA. As a part of QUALCOMM's commitment to research on this subject, the Company provided testimony in mid-July for a Congressional hearing on cellphone use on aircraft, providing technical and research expertise highlighting the many capabilities of the mobile phone today beyond voice and the potential for both business and entertainment that mobile phone connectivity could bring to the flying public.

About Connexion by Boeing

Connexion by Boeing is, for the second year running, the recipient of the World Travel Award for World's Leading High-Speed In-flight Internet Services Provider and was recently named one of the wireless companies to watch in 2005 by IDC wireless services analysts. Through a broadband connection to an equipped aircraft, high-speed Internet, data and entertainment connectivity is delivered directly to travelers in flight. The Connexion by Boeing service is available today on flights offered by Lufthansa, SAS, Japan Airlines, ANA, Korean Air, Singapore Airlines and China Airlines. In addition, Asiana, Etihad, Austrian Airlines and El Al Israeli Airlines have announced their intent to begin offering the high-speed service in the near future. Connexion by Boeing also offers a high-speed connectivity solution for the business aviation and maritime markets. For more information, please visit www.connexionbyboeing.com.
