March’s edition of Developers Parapo is set to potentially transform the realm of possibilities of what we know as customer experiences via mobile. CcHub presents Qualcomm (a world leader in next generation mobile technologies) whose ideas and inventions are driving wireless growth and helping to connect people to information, entertainment and one another.
Alex Dadson, Qualcomm’s Managing Director West Africa will be joining us to talk about the firm’s plans to stimulate growth of the mobile market through the development of technologies and services for 3G devices. He will also highlight recent work that Qualcomm has done in Augumented Reality and illustrate with cool demos. You dont want to miss this.
Qualcomm has had physical presence in Nigeria since Sept 2010 and aims to expand the 3G ecosystem and create more opportunities for use of 3G-enabled devices in Nigeria. Qualcomm works with all the major OEMs (Nokia, Samsung, Blackberry) and some lesser known ones too, about 170 in all. Qualcomm is currently shipping over a million chipsets per day which end up in CDMA, 3G (UMTS) and LTE devices of various form factors (feature phones, smartphones, tablets, e-readers etc). Qualcomm’s integrated, single-chip solutions are enabling its partners to offer internet-capable 3G devices that support different tiers of market needs from high-end smart phones to low-cost handsets.
Qualcomm is interested in providing assistance to the Nigerian tech community on how to develop applications that increase 3G uptake. Qualcomm periodically puts out SDKs and most recently released an SDK around augmented reality.
