Qualcomm Hits Record Quarterly Revenues of $6.6 Billion
Qualcomm posted record quarterly revenue of $6.62 billion for its first quarter of fiscal 2014, up 10 percent year-over-year (y-o-y) and 2 percent sequentially. Net income came in at $1.88 billion, down 2 percent y-o-y and up 25 percent sequentially.
“We are pleased with the start to our fiscal year, with record results in quarterly revenues, device sales reported by licensees and MSM chip shipments,” said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, Chairman and CEO of Qualcomm. “Looking forward, we expect our performance to reflect the continued strong global growth of smartphones, our chipset leadership position and our competitive strengths in 3G/4G technologies and products.”

You just read about Qualcomm. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Alphawave Semi built SerDes, connectivity IP, chiplets and custom silicon. What became of it?
Alphawave Semi brought SerDes, connectivity IP, chiplets and custom silicon to Semiconductor. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Qualcomm for US$2.3B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Qualcomm today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
