Technology History | Qualcomm — The Den in La Jolla, Then the Room Over the Dry Cleaner
kevin
People treat Qualcomm as a Morehouse Drive campus that arrived already named Snapdragon and CDMA.
The firm was started here, in the den of Irwin Jacobs' house in La Jolla, in July 1985.
Seven people sat in that room: Jacobs, Andrew Viterbi, Harvey White, Franklin Antonio, Andrew Cohen, Klein Gilhousen and Adelia Coffman. They had come out of Linkabit. They wanted a company called Quality Communications. The first rented rooms were not a lab. They were on Holiday Court off La Jolla Village Drive, over a dry cleaner and a pizza parlor. OmniTRACS, a satellite tracker for long-haul trucks, was the first product that paid the rent. The CDMA demonstration that changed the cellular business was staged in San Diego on 7 November 1989.
5775 Morehouse Drive came later. The den and the strip-mall stair are the first addresses the corporation ran from.
