I am activating this thread so folks that look for the symbol SSPIF will know what company the symbol represents. Apparently there was a SI person that became annoyed enough to place a substantial comment under SSPIF that indicated simply placing the "ticker" was, how did he put it, Distasteful? Well anyway here is some info. people can begin to study, about this company. This is a Canadian Company. I will paste the other info. posted this date by Texas Instruments in another post. It is a very solid underpriced company, as far as I can see.

Spectrum Signal Processing Inc. Announces Support for Texas
Instruments' TMS320C6x Processor Architecture
Product Developments Already Underway Utilizing Texas Instruments' New Family of DSPs
BURNABY, B.C., Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Spectrum Signal Processing Inc. (Nasdaq NNM: SSPIF; Toronto: SSY), the
industry leader in DSP solutions, announces its support of Texas Instruments' (T.I.) next generation architecture, the
TMS320C6x processor. Spectrum has been working with TMS320C6x specifications for some time. The company is
creating DSP-based advanced communications software and support silicon in addition to traditional DSP boards to support
T.I.'s new C6x processor family; significant product announcements will be made in 1997 which will once again demonstrate
the company's leadership and expertise in digital signal processing.
"We believe that the C6x family is revolutionary advancement in DSP design over past processor offerings," asserts Barry
Jinks, president and CEO of Spectrum. "Being the largest board vendor in the DSP systems market, it's only natural that
Spectrum provides full support for this architecture. In fact, DSP product developments which employ C6x processors are
already underway."
Spectrum possesses unique capabilities for supporting the C6x processor family, such as extensive ASIC design experience
and telecommunications application software developments for DSP customers. "While many of our competitors are unable
to offer support silicon and DSP software, we are raising the standard by working closely with T.I. to develop ASICs and
advanced communications software to bolster their C6x family," adds Barry Jinks.
The introduction of this new DSP processor family represents a milestone in the DSP industry, expanding the use of
programmable DSPs to higher performance applications such as communications servers (remote access, data processing,
call processing, Internet telephony and voice mail), wireless communications (surveillance, direction finding, CDPD, cell site
test and analysis) and imaging. Combined with Spectrum's advanced technology, the TMS320C6x processor will afford new
levels of price performance which were previously unattainable.
Spectrum Signal Processing is the leading North American supplier of complete DSP solutions. The company offers DSP
software, off-the-shelf hardware, custom ASIC design and complete custom systems. Customers such as Nortel, NEC,
IBM, the US Dept. of Defense and Lockheed Martin benefit from Spectrum's innovative, programmable DSP products, by
