PART I Item 1. Business We incorporated in 1985 under the laws of the state of California. In 1991, we reincorporated in the state of Delaware. We operate and report using a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in September. Our 52-week fiscal years consist of four equal fiscal quarters of 13 weeks each, and our 53-week fiscal years consist of three 13-week fiscal quarters and one 14-week fiscal quarter. The financial results for our 53-week fiscal years and our 14-week fiscal quarters will not be exactly comparable to our 52-week fiscal years and our 13-week fiscal quarters. Both of the fiscal years ended September 28, 2014 and September 29, 2013 included 52 weeks. The fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 included 53 weeks. Overview We continue to lead the development and commercialization of a digital communication technology called CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), and we own significant intellectual property applicable to products that implement any version of CDMA, including patents, patent applications and trade secrets. The mobile communications industry generally recognizes that a company seeking to develop, manufacture and/or sell products that use CDMA technology will require a patent license from us. CDMA is one of the main technologies currently used in digital wireless communications networks (also known as wireless networks). Based on wireless connections, CDMA and TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), of which GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is the primary commercial form, are the primary digital technologies currently used to transmit a wireless device user’s voice or data over radio waves using a public cellular wireless network. We also continue our significant role in the development and commercialization of OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) technology for which we own substantial intellectual property. Sales of multimode CDMA and LTE (which stands for Long Term Evolution and is an OFDMA-based standard for cellular wireless communication applications) wireless devices have grown significantly during the past several years. We also develop and commercialize several other key technologies used in handsets and tablets that contribute to end-user demand, and we own substantial intellectual property related to these technologies.

  • Vzaccess Manager Administrator‟S Guide Version 7.4.1.0
    VZAccess Manager Administrator‟s Guide Version 7.4.1.0 Overview VZAccess Manager has been enhanced to meet the needs of the enterprise. It is easy to deploy, configure and lock down. The administrator has the ability to create an XML configuration file (Network.xml) that is used during installation to configure the client to the needs of a particular corporation. Installation Options The VZAccess Manager installer is available as an executable as well as an MSI file. The following two sections discuss each format and the available options, switches and behaviors. MSI Installations Windows Installer files (*.msi) are loaded and processed by a Microsoft executable, msiexec.exe (live help with all of the standard switches is available by executing msiexec /?). To install an msi file (ex. VZAccess.msi) one can execute either from a command interpreter or the “run” dialog from the Start menu: msiexec /i “VZAccess.msi” To uninstall the same product: msiexec /x “VZAccess.msi” Additional switches (ex. /qn) can be added to the command line, as well as parameters to the installation (ex. DESKTOPICON=1). msiexec /qn /i “VZAccess.msi” DESKTOPICON=1 Install & Uninstall The /i switch is used to install a file. It should be followed by the file name/path. If the path or name contains spaces, it should be enclosed in quotes. By default VZAccess will be installed to C:\Program Files\Verizon Wireless\VZAccess Manager (drive letter may very depending on your system). The /x switch uninstalls a previously installed file. Its syntax is the same as the install switch. Silent Install/Uninstall A completely silent install or uninstall is enabled by the /qn switch.

  • CASE 10-E-0285 Consider Regulatory Policies Regarding Smart Grid Systems and the Modernization of the Electric Grid
    Before the STATE OF NEW YORK PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION Proceeding on Motion of the Commission to CASE 10-E-0285 Consider Regulatory Policies Regarding Smart Grid Systems and the Modernization of the Electric Grid COMMENTS OF QUALCOMM INCORPORATED Dean R. Brenner Vice President, Government Affairs John W. Kuzin Senior Director, Regulatory Qualcomm Incorporated 1730 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Suite 850 Washington, DC 20006 (202) 263-0020 Dated: September 15, 2010 SUMMARY Qualcomm is pleased to respond to the New York State Public Service Commission’s inquiry into the appropriate requirements and regulatory policies to encourage electric utilities to implement Smart Grid systems. Qualcomm’s comments focus on the communications requirements of the Smart Grid, which, as this Commission recognizes, is the “essence” of the Smart Grid that enables “the multitude of energy services” envisioned for next generation energy management technologies. In these Comments, Qualcomm explains how commercial wireless technologies can satisfy the varied and increasing communications needs of electric utilities, businesses and consumers. Qualcomm looks forward to continuing to work with its electric utility and communications industry partners on Smart Grid issues as these technologies are further integrated into our electrical networks. For more than two decades, Qualcomm has enabled the introduction of countless wireless technologies and products that many utilities use today to support the smart delivery and consumption of energy. Qualcomm believes that these technologies also will enable the swift, broad, and cost-effective implementation of the Smart Grid. Indeed, as the Commission appreciates, Smart Grid communications must benefit businesses, consumers, and utilities alike by transporting the information required to wisely manage energy use.
