Qualcomm to Add 3GPP Band 41 to Its Existing 3G/4G Multi-
   Mode, Multi-Band LTE Chipsets, Giving Global LTE FDD and LTE
          TDD Operators Expanded Range of Device Options

SAN DIEGO and BELLEVUE, Wash., May 8, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Qualcomm
Incorporated (Nasdaq:QCOM) and Clearwire Corporation (Nasdaq:CLWR)
today announced that Qualcomm will add support for Clearwire's upcoming
LTE TDD network to its line of multi-mode LTE chipsets with the
inclusion of support for 3GPP's Band 41 (B41) radio frequency. This new
enhancement builds on Qualcomm's existing multi-mode, multi-band
support for LTE FDD, LTE TDD and major broadband wireless standards,
thus enabling OEMs to develop a wide variety of cost-effective, fully
harmonized LTE devices for networks around the world.

"The growth of LTE networks and services is closely tied to device
manufacturers' ability to develop and commercialize cost-efficient LTE
devices," said Steve Mollenkopf, president and chief operating officer,
Qualcomm. "By adding support for the B41 band to our LTE chipsets, in
combination with providing support for other LTE bands, Qualcomm is
enabling OEMs to design cost-competitive devices and offer them in
multiple geographies."

"We are pleased that Qualcomm will expand the size of the LTE ecosystem
by adding support for Clearwire's LTE frequency bands to their
chipsets. By working with Qualcomm, Clearwire will ensure that LTE TDD
and LTE FDD will work seamlessly together. This will bring significant
benefits to OEMs, network operators and consumers alike," said Erik
Prusch, president and CEO, Clearwire. "Qualcomm is a well-established
leader in mobile processor and modem solutions. Their Snapdragon
processors and Gobi modems are synonymous with fast, low-power mobile
computing and high-quality mobile broadband connectivity."

Qualcomm LTE chipsets supporting the B41 band in combination with other
LTE FDD/TDD bands are scheduled for commercial availability later this
year.
