| Quote: | SEATTLE AND SAN DIEGO — August 08, 2005 — QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), pioneer and innovator of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and other advanced wireless technologies, and Connexion by Boeing, a business unit of The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA), announced today that they are working together to test and demonstrate in-flight wireless communications aboard Connexion One, a specially equipped Boeing 737-400 aircraft.
The companies have performed a series of test flights that successfully demonstrated the simultaneous use of CDMA and GSM mobile phone technology over an on-board network with infrastructure and integration support from UTStarcom, Inc. (Nasdaq: UTSI). Using standard cellular communications, a small in-cabin CDMA2000 and GSM “picocell,” or small cellular base station, is connected to the worldwide terrestrial network by an air-to-ground satellite link provided by the Connexion by Boeing high-speed airborne network.
Passengers on the test flight were able to use BREW®-based data applications via QUALCOMM's BREW solution. The BREW solution enables users to download business applications, 3D games, information and communication applications such as email and instant messenger wirelessly, over the air. Passengers also downloaded and watched video clips and made phone calls on a variety of mobile devices including 3G mobile phones. The data tests were conducted over CDMA2000 1X and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO and voice calls were made over CDMA2000 and GSM. |

Does this mean at some point, our EVDO cards will work in flight? That would be VERY cool.
