Company History
Founded in 1985 by Irwin Jacobs, Andrew Viterbi, and several other engineers, Qualcomm started as a small R&D firm in San Diego. The company's first major breakthrough was the development of the OmniTRACS satellite communications system for the trucking industry. In the 1990s, Qualcomm pivoted to CDMA mobile phone technology and later to the Snapdragon processor line, which became the industry standard for Android devices. Over the decades, the company has expanded through strategic acquisitions and licensing deals, becoming a top-10 global semiconductor company.
