David,
Any thoughts on who the company has partnered with?
This from Seimens Website:

Expanding the Public Networks
Siemens Telecom Networks is a leading supplier of advanced public telecommunications network systems. With a strong position in key digital and wireless technologies, we provide our customers with the high-tech infrastructure they need to offer a full range of telecommunications and multimedia services to their customers.
Siemens is also well positioned to lead the coming technological revolution in wireless personal communication services, with the recent announcement of an alliance with
Bellcore and Hughes Network Systems. We are already world leaders in the core GSM (global system for mobile communications) wireless technology needed to market these services cost-effectively. Fully half of the GSM base installed worldwide operates on Siemens' switches.
At the Forefront of Fiber Optics
Siecor Corporation, an equity company of Siemens and Corning, continues to lead the industry in developing and manufacturing fiber-optic and copper communications products used in telephony, cable television, intelligent vehicle highway systems and utility applications. Siecor expanded its fiber-optic cable capabilities by acquiring Northern Telecom's fiber-optic cable manufacturing business. To enhance capabilities in its hardware and equipment division, Siecor purchased the assets of the telecommunications business of GTE Control Devices Incorporated.
Siemens Wireless Terminals (SWT) provides handsets and access devices that enhance business and personal performance.These innovative products and services are available for networks that incorporate U.S.Personal Communications Services (PCS) standards.
The Communication Terminals Division within the private networks (PN) group, has revenues reaching almost $1.26 billion. Manufacturing more than one million terminals last year.
Siemens plans to increase that performance by 2-300% over the next year. In the DECT standard cordless telephones market, Siemens is ranked number one in market share with approximately 90% of all DECT telephones sold on the market.
