- Advanced Technology Projects Support Health Care and Education -

Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading developer and innovator
of advanced wireless technologies and data solutions, today announced a new
program through its Wireless Reach(TM) initiative. The GSM Association (GSMA)
Development Fund and Wireless Reach will work together to develop three
projects using mobile broadband technology for health care and education in
Egypt, the Philippines and Tanzania.

"Our Wireless Reach initiative has grown substantially over the last two
years with nearly 30 projects in 19 countries," said Shawn Covell, senior
director of International Government Affairs for Qualcomm. "We are excited to
announce a new and important relationship with the GSMA Development Fund.
Working with such a distinguished organization, Wireless Reach will continue
to create sustainable projects using 3G technology that strengthen economic
and social development worldwide."

This collaboration between Qualcomm and the GSMA Development Fund is
intended to create three projects that will, for example, connect students to
educational resources and medical professionals to specialists through
high-speed 3G HSPA Internet services. Dedicated project managers on the
ground in each of the three countries -- Egypt, Tanzania and the 
Philippines -- will work with local operators and will provide support to 
ensure that the projects are designed to be sustainable and bring about 
social, environmental and economic improvement.

"By working with Qualcomm, the GSMA Development Fund will highlight how
mobile broadband is not just for high income markets, but also can play a
critical role in driving social and economic development," said Dawn
Haig-Thomas, director of the GSMA Development Fund. "Together, we will
deliver innovative solutions aimed at improving the quality of life for those
living at the base of the social and economic pyramid."

The GSMA Development Fund was set up in October 2005 to provide
consulting support to innovative pilot projects that use mobile technology to
boost social, economic and environmental welfare in developing countries.
Working together with mobile operators, the Fund supports replicable and
sustainable projects that have the potential to be widely deployed.

Qualcomm believes access to advanced wireless voice and data services
improves people's lives. Qualcomm's Wireless Reach initiative supports
programs and solutions that bring the benefits of connectivity to developing
communities globally. By working with partners, Wireless Reach projects
create new ways for people to communicate, learn, access health care and
