Strategy Analytics rates A-GPS technologies
February 04 12:39:00, 2003

BOSTON—Research and advisory firm Strategy Analytics gives CDMA and Qualcomm Inc. a thumbs
up when it comes to Assisted GPS technologies, predicting that CDMA carriers and device
vendors in the U.S. and Asia Pacific regions will lead the A-GPS market using Qualcomm’s
A-GPS-enabled chipset.

“In the U.S., the adoption of embedded A-GPS will be driven by the government’s E911
mandate, which requires all U.S. operators to upgrade their equipment to enable the
tracking of emergency cell phone calls by the end of 2005,” said Neil Mawston, senior
analyst with the firm’s Global Wireless Practice. “CDMA carriers Sprint and Verizon have
led this effort. At the end of 2002, more than half of the handsets available from these
two carriers were A-GPS-enabled.”
