EA, You have hit the nail on the head with your questions. "Does PRKR actually have a wireless product? Has anyone seen it? What does it do? Is it competitive with technologies developed by other, more established companies? " Supposedly, the D2D technology PRKR has is both cheaper and better than existing technology, but because of the sensitive nature of the technology, PRKR has only shown the technology to a select group of potential partners willing to sign confidentiality agreements. This list doesn't include any shareholders that I am aware of. Either PRKR has the next greatest technological breakthrough and is ridiculously cheap at these prices, or they are a complete scam. Hopefully Asensio will force PRKR to back up their claims with new, independent scientific verification (the Boeing test has been called into question) or an actual product or product partnership announcement. Stay tuned.

PRKR's website describes the technological breakthrough as, "the single-step conversion of an incoming RF signal directly to baseband digital data that eliminates the need for decades-old heterodyne RF architecture." That sounds quite a bit like what was developed where I work over 15 years ago (A 'global positioning system' receiver on a chip). I'd guess they probably do have a 'product', or at least a design. But I find it highly unlikely they've stumbled onto something new and revolutionary for the industry, but who knows.
