Qualcomm Announces Availability of MobileView for Remote Collection of Mobile
and Network Performance Data
- Application Reduces Costs, Improves Diagnostic Capabilities for Network
Operators and Device Manufacturers -

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Qualcomm Incorporated
(Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless
technologies and data solutions, today announced the commercial availability
of the MobileView(TM) product.  MobileView is a software application that
remotely captures diagnostic data with GPS from mobile handsets, providing
insight into handset and network performance.  MobileView is currently in
trials with CDMA2000(R) and WCDMA (UMTS) network operators worldwide,
including T-Mobile Germany.
    "The need to ensure that our networks have the best quality is very
important to T-Mobile," said Peter Smolka, head of measurement systems radio
coverage, T-Mobile Germany.  "Remote diagnostics is a positive evolution for
network optimization."
    "Remotely collecting performance data from opt-in users is the next trend
in handset testing and network optimization," said Tia Cassett, senior
director of business development at Qualcomm CDMA Technologies.  "By
collecting diagnostic data directly from handsets, MobileView delivers a
thorough reporting of mobile and network performance.  This enables device
manufacturers to improve their time to market by identifying issues earlier.
Network operators can also use it as a tool to keep their networks optimized
and running efficiently."
    The performance data that MobileView provides can help provide a more
efficient and cost-effective way to proactively identify problems in areas not
typically covered by drive testing.  Drive testing is typically limited to
major roads and freeways, while MobileView captures information throughout the
network, including in residential and indoor settings.
