Advanced Communications Technologies Demonstrates Revolutionary Wireless Technology -- Worldwide First

I have my suspicions about this.

First of all, the stock price of the company in question has dropped 90% since it first began trading in Feb 00 at under $5. Penny stocks makeme very nervous. Maybe it's just a bias of mine, but it instantly raises my suspicion.

BTW, the stock was up 125% today from .44 to $1.25.

Secondly, I am puzzled by this lie in the story:

The test, conducted at Advanced Communications Technologies Pty Ltd's development facility in Melbourne, Australia, demonstrates the IS-95 CDMA Physical Layer functionality with a single Digital Signal Processor on the SpectruCell software defined radio (SDR) prototype; seconds before the same platform was broadcasting equivalent GSM signals. Emphasis mine

If this allegedly great new base station can handle multiple protocols simultaneously, why did they demo it handling them sequentially? Or did I misunderstand something?
