How does Qualcomm determine where to launch Wireless Reach projects?
The main objective of Wireless Reach is to spur the innovative use and adoption of wireless technologies and solutions in key international and domestic markets. Therefore, Wireless Reach project locations are based on several factors, including the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) needs and goals of a community; wireless coverage; lack of landline access; relationships with local non-governmental organizations and operators; and/or the ability to showcase new innovative wireless solutions. Qualcomm participates in projects where specific government policy priorities can be met such as rural connectivity, education and health care needs or increased teledensity. Additionally, Wireless Reach seeks scalable and sustainable projects.
