I was searching around for new investments and came on ADAP. Nice chart. I can't comment too much on what they have since I just got here, but I know RFMD has a deal to explore 3G, and the following in regards to CATT addresses 3G a little. May be unrelated, but I thought I would toss it out for those who may be more in the know.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 1999--Catapult Communications
(Nasdaq: CATT - news), a leading provider of advanced software-based test systems to the
telecom industry, announced that Fujitsu Limited of Japan has placed an order for a third generation
(''3G'') wireless protocol test product.
''3G is the next evolutionary step in the convergence of voice, cellular and data communications.
Several major service providers have committed to developing new products using 3G wireless
standards. Successful testing from development through deployment is essential for integrated
wireless services to become available to the everyday consumer,'' said Dr. Richard Karp, President

Third generation wireless telephony is commonly referred to as ''3G'' and also called UMTS and
wideband CDMA. 3G is a next generation wireless technology which is expected to deliver wireless
voice services with wireline quality levels. Wireline quality will bring the speed and capacity needed

expected to allow wireless carriers to compete more robustly with wireline carriers for multimedia
transmissions.
