Mobile-chip maker Qualcomm on Thursday said it has started providing new wireless chipsets that combine 3G and 4G wireless technology to help carriers transition to the next generation of wireless technology.

The company said Huawei Technologies, LG Electronics Novatel Wireless, Sierra Wireless and ZTE are among the first mobile-device manufacturers to test the new chips.

Qualcomm said devices that use the new chips could be available in commercial products starting in the second half of 2010.
