General information
Timeline
- 2006: Qualcomm acquired Airgo Networks (802.11abgn chipset)
- since then integrated Airgo WiFi MAC/BB into Snapdragon SoCs
- 2011: Qualcomm merged/acquired Atheros (WiSoCs)
- 2012: Qualcomm acquired Ubicom (SoCs)
- 2014: Qualcomm acquired Wilocity (802.11ad chipset)
- 2014: Qualcomm acquired CSR
- For Atheros chipsets developed before the merger with Qualcomm,
- such as those having a chip name that starts with AR, see Atheros.
