Qualcomm's MDM9200 LTE/3G multi-mode chipset solution is currently in use by Japan's first commercial LTE service provider NTT DOCOMO.

According to Qualcomm, the MDM9200 chipset is the industry's first multi-mode 3G/LTE solutions that allow UMTS operators to upgrade seamlessly to future LTE services while preserving backward compatibility to their existing 3G networks. The MDM9200 chipset supports UMTS, HSPA+ and LTE.

"We are very excited to see the successful launch of LTE services in Japan by DOCOMO using our MDM9200 chipset," said Steve Mollenkopf, executive vice president and group president of Qualcomm. "Qualcomm is very pleased to be part of this important milestone and we look forward to working closely with DOCOMO in their continuing efforts to commercialize their Xi LTE service."
