Qualcomm Works on a Chip that supports the 700 MHz band

Qualcomm recently announced they are developing a CMOS transceiver for mobile handsets supporting the 700 MHz spectrum.

The new quad-band chip will operate on both CDMA2000 and WCDMA networks, and will also support the 850, 1700, 1900 and 2100 MHz bands.

It will be tested in mid 2008, and starting in early 2009 will go into production.
