Qualcomm is a global semiconductor company that designs and licenses foundational wireless and computing technologies for mobile handsets, automotive, and Internet of Things devices. The company operates through two primary segments: integrated circuit products under its Snapdragon and Dragonwing brands—incorporating processors, wireless modems, AI engines, and supporting semiconductors—and intellectual property licensing of standard-essential patents covering cellular technologies worldwide. Qualcomm generates revenue from semiconductor product sales to original equipment manufacturers and device makers, as well as per-unit royalties from hundreds of licensed manufacturers of cellular devices and wireless infrastructure, while employing a fabless manufacturing model through partnerships with foundries and assembly partners.
