Nice thread you started here. One company I haven't seen mentioned yet is Mercury Computer Systems. Though they are not yet recognized as a player in this space - it deserves scrutiny. Mercury has a tight relationship with Motorola. They use MOT chips to build embedded systems (GE Lightspeed, etc). Mercury is working on 3G base stations - although you wouldn't know it from their web site. They are keeping pretty quiet about it right now, but this is from their '99 Annual Report: Our market research indicates that the digital wireless market will need the next generation of base stations to have greater bandwidth and signal processing capability. The underlying technology to meet these requirements is a natural extension of Mercury’s current products. Additionally, the market opportunity represents an OEM business model that Mercury understands well. Part of our development investment will be dedicated to this emerging market over the next two years.
