3G After a series of inventions solved the complex challenges that helped the world to adopt CDMA and it became a commercially viable option for 2G , CDMA would form the basis for all 3G networks and the introduction of mobile broadband services . Two competing mobile broadband standards came out of 3G , based on CDMA : CDMA2000 / EV-DO and WCDMA / HSPA +

4G Qualcomm leads the evolution and expansion of LTE , LTE Advanced , and LTE Advanced Pro . 4G LTE revolutionises the mobile broadband industry , delivering one of the fastest growing wireless technologies and superior mobile broadband experiences on a global scale ; creating an LTE ecosystem containing over 600 commercial networks and more than 9,500 commercial devices .

5G After many years spent in R & D , the hard work and collaboration at Qualcomm pays off as mobile form factor mmWave devices finally hit the market . These new 5G NR mmWaveenabled smartphones , tablets , always-connected PCs , and CPEs deliver unprecedented and enhanced experiences on mobile devices . The 5G world has begun , but the potential of technology is at the embryonic stages . The future will see widespread usage across smart manufacturing , smart cities , automotive and more .
