QUALCOMM is a leader in the development of advanced communications systems, and products based on digital wireless technology and satellite communications. QUALCOMM's innovative OmniTRACS« system is the world's most technologically advanced two way mobile satellite communications and tracking system for land based fleets. OmniTRACS provides transportation companies with data transmission and reporting services worldwide.
QUALCOMM is pioneering the next generation of digital wireless telephone communications using its CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) technology. CDMA technology, is a method of encoding and transmitting digital signals across a broad spectrum of radio bandwidth and may provide a long-term solution to the impending capacity crisis in the cellular telephone industry.
QUALCOMM has selected Hummingbird's eXceed line of PC X display server software as their PC X Window System connectivity solution.
Eric Lentz, Computer Engineer at QUALCOMM stated, "Hummingbird's PC X servers deliver the high performance and reliability demanded by our engineers and technicians. They have also allowed us to leverage our investment in PCs and bring X to the PC desktop at a reasonable cost."
The challenge in today's computing environment is to deliver computing resources to the user, independent of hardware platform or operating system. The X Window System's interoperability and capability of distributing graphical applications allows workstation computing power, and applications to be shared amongst X-capable desktops, including PCs. This technology has allowed QUALCOMM to save thousand of dollars, earmarked for additional workstation seats, while leveraging its investment in personal computers.
For PC users at QUALCOMM, Hummingbird X servers provide transparent access to the computing and information resources of the network. This means significant cost savings to the company and increased employee productivity.
