Our History
You may not know it, but whether listening to your stereo or playing a game on your computer, there's a good chance you're using Kyocera products in your daily life. That's because Kyocera Corporation, headquartered in Kyoto, Japan, has been developing high-tech products, high-performance materials and electronic components since 1959.

Kyocera Wireless Corp. was formed when Kyocera acquired the terrestrial handset division from CDMA pioneer QUALCOMM, Inc. in February 2000 (read related press release>>). As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kyocera International Inc., Kyocera Corp.'s North American holding company, Kyocera Wireless Corp. today brings together the best of the East with the best of the West.

Our Company
At Kyocera Wireless Corp., we always keep people in mind. We ask the right questions - What features would be helpful for people? How could we make this easier to use? - while innovating the next-generation wireless phones that drive our industry.

And the phone is just one part of the value chain for us. Our parent company, Kyocera Corporation, creates everything from electronic components to wireless networks. It's a principle we call vertical integration - and it ensures we're delivering the highest standard of quality in all aspects of our business.

Kyocera Corporation and its family of companies are recognized worldwide for their commitment to the environment and to the people and communities they serve. Kyocera Wireless Corp. shares those same values. We believe working with nature and the communities that support us is key to our success. You'll see proof of this in our people-focused products and in the way we interact with the environment and the communities that support us.
