Qualcomm sets up office in Dubai

Developer of advanced wireless technologies Qualcomm Incorporated opened a
new branch office in Dubai, affirming its commitment to the Middle East and
North Africa (MENA) markets.

The office, located in the Dubai Internet City will serve as a hub for
Qualcomm's regional business interests and will provide support for device
manufacturers, network operators and other industry participants that are
driving the area's fast growing mobile broadband market, Qualcomm said in a
release.

“The MENA region is witnessing impressive growth in both the quantity and
quality of telecom­munication services,” said Jing Wang, Executive VP, Qualcomm
Asia Pacific and Middle East/Africa.

“This growth has created a healthy and competitive business environment that
is giving consumers increased access to wireless services at progressively lower
prices. Our new office in Dubai enables Qualc­omm to serve the region more
effectively,” Wang added. Qualcomm has 70 offices located across the globe and
is working with more than 150 partners.
