Qualcomm Joins GSM Trade Group

Qualcomm has announced that it has joined the executive membership of the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA), which represents GSM/WCDMA suppliers.

"Qualcomm is committed to the GSA's cause of developing and nurturing the technologies of tomorrow and, in turn, creating a framework for innovation that benefits the consumer in helping to foster competition and development for the industry," said Andrew Gilbert, president, Qualcomm Europe.

GSA's aim of facilitating dialogue between member companies and network operators for information sharing, business development opportunities and access to the global market sits well with Qualcomm's dedication to facilitating the evolution of next-generation wireless technologies in Europe.

"As the GSA brings together those companies committed to the growth of next-generation wireless technologies, it is an ideal platform for Qualcomm to build stronger relations with leading mobile players with similar goals," Andrew Gilbert added.

Qualcomm's executive membership in the GSA is in addition to other recent wireless forum partnerships in Europe, which include Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN), the GSM Association and ETSI board membership.
