U.S. Qualcomm plans to set up R&D center in Singapore

SINGAPORE, Mar 29, 2012 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- United States telecommunications giant Qualcomm plans to establish a research and development center for new integrated circuits in Singapore, a local television channel reported on Thursday.


The Singapore center will research and design chipset in mobile devices to ensure energy saving power management. Qualcomm did not disclose its financial commitments for the new research and development center but it is understood the center will employ more than 100 professionals.

The center will further cement Singapore's position as an international hub for the company's chipset business, Channel NewsAsia said.

Qualcomm already has a distribution center that manages the global logistics, an offshore operation center and a test development center in Singapore.

Jim Lederer, Qualcomm's CDMA technologies executive vice president, said the company shipped "well over a billion chips per year and close to 1.5 billion this year out of this space near the airport." "It actually breaks down to 600 million chips every day and over a 100 chips every second," he said.

Qualcomm is a U.S.-based company that designs, manufactures and markets digital wireless telecommunication products and services.
