Qualcomm signs international telematics connectivity agreement with Telenor Connexion

Qualcomm Enterprise Services Europe BV, a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq:  QCOM), and Telenor Connexion, the global provider of M2M connectivity solutions, today announced an agreement for Telenor Connexion to provide international wireless communication services for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and telematics applications to Qualcomm Enterprise Services Europe.  Telenor will provide a flat fee SIM card running in GPRS/EDGE/UMTS in Western and Eastern Europe, allowing Qualcomm to meet its customer needs and coverage requirements for pan-European telematics services.

Under this new agreement, Telenor Connexion, which is based in Sweden, will  also enable Qualcomm to manage and monitor deployed SIM-cards and associated traffic, resulting in enhanced service availability and quality for Qualcomm customers in Europe.

 - This agreement with Telenor is a key milestone for Qualcomm, allowing us to deploy our telematics and M2M services internationally with competitive international rates and simultaneously maintain our current Service Level Agreements with end users. It will also allow Qualcomm to rapidly implement our most recent innovative wireless communication technologies in all the deployed M2M products and services, says Bill Karnazes, managing director of Qualcomm Enterprise Services Europe.

 - The cooperation with Qualcomm enables us to take advantage of the high growth potential outside of Sweden and expands our position globally. The M2M market has grown tremendously in recent years and is driven by an increasing demand for safety, energy efficiency and climate smart solutions, among others. The solution we offer together with Qualcomm is extremely versatile since it allows efficiencies and savings, both in the short and the long term, says Per Simonsen, CEO at Telenor Connexion.
