Asustek to launch Qualcomm-based 3G handsets by year-end, say sources

Asustek Computer has started developing 3G handsets utilizing 3G solutions from Qualcomm, with the first Qualcomm-based 3G model to be launched by the end of this year, according to market sources.

Asustek recently reached a licensing agreement with Qualcomm, enabling the company to begin developing 3G handsets using Qualcomm CDMA technologies (QCT), the sources noted.

Asustek previously utilized platforms coming from Marvell and EMP (Ericsson Mobile Platform) and the signing of the Qualcomm technology licensing (QTL) agreement made Asustek the first handset company in Taiwan to engage in the development of handsets with three platforms, the sources noted.

Asustek's 3G handsets, including the M530w, P550 and P735, are built on a Marvell platform, while the V88i, Z802 and 750i are built based on EMP.
