Revenue from its Omnitracs satellite communications system helped fund early research into code-division multiple access (CDMA) wireless technology. As CDMA became a cellular standard, Qualcomm expanded into semiconductor products, including the Snapdragon processor family. ### Markets and services Qualcomm designs semiconductor and computing platforms, including Snapdragon processors, for smartphones and other connected devices. Its technologies also have applications in automotive computing, embedded systems and the Internet of Things. The company's other business line is wireless technology licensing: it licenses cellular communications patents, including patents essential to 4G and 5G mobile network standards. Its platforms serve device manufacturers, and its patent licensing relates to mobile communications standards. These two business lines combine semiconductor products with intellectual property for cellular communications. - Ticker: QCOM ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Is Qualcomm hiring in the US? Yes.
