Qualcomm Enables Whole-House Media Streaming with Industry's First 4x4 MIMO
Wireless Network Solution

- New N-Stream Solution Delivers up to Four 802.11n Spatial Streams to Provide
Exceptional Range and Bandwidth without Performance Degradation -

TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Qualcomm Incorporated
(Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless
technologies, products and services, today introduced the N-Stream(TM)
Wireless LAN WCN1320(TM) chip, the industry's first dual-band 802.11n
standards-based wireless local-area networking (WLAN) solution with 4x4
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. Offering industry-leading
performance of 600 Mbps, the new chip is designed to enable users to
distribute multiple simultaneous streams of high-definition video, voice and
data throughout the home, without the hassle and cost of installing cables or
the interference and range problems of previous wireless technologies.

Qualcomm's N-Stream WLAN solution is being demonstrated this week at Computex
Taipei and at Connections 2009 in Santa Clara.

"Qualcomm's advanced 4x4 MIMO technology sets a new performance milestone for
home media streaming devices," said Mike Concannon, senior vice president of
Connectivity and Wireless Modules for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. "Our
N-Stream solution delivers a new level of performance and range, enabling
next-generation whole-house wireless LAN coverage."

Qualcomm has created WLAN reference module designs to enable manufacturers to
quickly integrate WCN1320 into a wide range of media streaming consumer
electronic devices such as access points, set-top boxes, and media-centric
devices. The WCN1320 chip includes an internal high-speed application
processor to run the WLAN software within the chip which provides OEMs the
flexibility to use lower cost host processors in their design, easing
integration, and reducing development costs for adding WLAN to their products.

"Qualcomm's WCN1320 chip opens up new possibilities for the digital home, and
we have been collaborating closely to bring this technology to market, paired
with our set-top box solutions," said Mark Samuel, general manager Cable and
IP STB business, NXP Semiconductors. "We are very excited about the progress
we have made in jointly enabling a new level of whole-house wireless media
streaming coverage with exceptionally high bandwidth for multiple media
streams."

"AppliedMicro, a global leader in energy conscious computing and
communications solutions for enterprise applications, is pleased to work with
Qualcomm to complement our multimedia networking expertise with this new WLAN
technology," said Gopi Sirineni, AppliedMicro's vice president of consumer and
SMB business. "The combination of Qualcomm's WCN1320 WLAN and AppliedMicro's
Power Architecture embedded processor technology in access points, NAS, and
gateways enables end-to-end solutions that accelerate the deployment of
wireless media streaming for both consumer and enterprise applications."

WCN1320's advanced 4x4 MIMO technology uses four spatial streams to distribute
multiple streams of concurrent voice, video and data in either the 5GHz or 2.4
GHz radio bands. Qualcomm has developed sophisticated algorithms which take
advantage of the multiple transmitters and receivers to increase data
throughput, extend range and overcome interference with a spectrally efficient
solution. Qualcomm's WCN1320 solution is backward compatible with existing
802.11a, b, and g devices.

The highly integrated N-Stream WCN1320 solution utilizes a 65-nanometer CMOS
process technology to combine an embedded applications processor, media-access
controller, digital baseband, radio-frequency transceiver and system
power-management in a single compact 12x12 mm package.

Qualcomm's N-Stream WLAN WCN1320 solution is expected to begin sampling in the
second quarter of 2009. The WCN1320 is part of a complete end-to-end solution
for 802.11n from Qualcomm, which also includes the WCN1312(TM) solution for
handsets and other mobile devices.
