WVCM depends heavily on selling its WISMO units, primarily to cell phone manufacturers in Asia. Any idea if their future revenue can be counted on, or are they vulnerable to competitors?

Handsets can be a cutthroat business....

Sales of WISMOs to telephone handset manufacturers in Asia continued to drive Wavecom's sales.

Sales of WISMOs represented 93.1% of total sales for the year while sales of modems represented 6.6% of sales and revenues derived from services were less than one percent of total sales in 2002. For the full year of 2002, product shipments totaled 8.8 million units, more than double compared to the 4 million units shipped in 2001.
