As we noted in our comments last week, this product line is a result of over five years of internal development at QCOM. The RF360 is expected to start shipping in two phones later this year. At MWC, we met with most of QCOM’s baseband competitors, several component suppliers, device vendors and industry contacts. Bottom line, we reiterate our Buy rating on QCOM.”
