Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

Q Started as a Modem Company & Will End as a Modem Company

The future of Q is modem only. As such it will be MUCH smaller in size. ASIC in Q is dead, all remaining work moved to BDC. Large customers are doing their own ASIC (Apple, Samsung, Huawii, etc). MediaTek covering the low end. Management knows no other business. Get out if you can find another job

On the bright side, the shipping business is picking up. Q should get into modems for the trucking industry. Growth market.
