Nokia ditches Qualcomm technology
The two telecommunications heavies have been in dispute over a cross licensing arrangement that allows the two companies to use the other’s technology, the San Diego Union Tribune reported.
Qualcomm holds the patent for Code Division Multiple Access or CDMA, which was first used during World War II by England to foil German attempts at jamming transmissions.
Nokia has claimed that Qualcomm overcharges for its CDMA patents and announced in June that it would no longer make phones using this technology.
With the restructuring, Nokia’s San Diego workers will focus on GSM technology, or Global System for Mobile Communication, as well as the next generation technologies.
