Communication Systems Design Magazine Announces the First Annual Comet Awards, 20 Companies to Watch
Hi Frank,
There's never enough time for an echo. That's the problem with modern life, by golly. Here's a tantalizing tease from the CMP folks. Just when I thought nothing was happening and I might hear an echo of times past.

Communication Systems Design Announces the First
Annual Comet Awards
Industry Magazine Picks 20 Companies to Watch
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Communication Systems Design, the monthly
magazine for OEM design engineers and managers involved in the development of
communication systems, announced today the 20 inaugural recipients of its first annual
Comet awards. The Comet awards recognize up and coming communications
technology companies that have demonstrated superior achievement by virtue of their technical vision, innovation and
risk-taking. The award winners will be prominently featured in the September issue.
``We're proud to introduce the Comets as an annual event,'' said Communication Systems Design Editor-in-Chief Robert
Keenan. ``We developed the Comet awards to recognize the achievements of emerging companies that introduce
significant technical advances that will fundamentally affect the communications industry. Comets are fast-rising
companies that may very well become the next Cisco, Nokia or Texas Instruments. Our hope is for these awards to
become a barometer of where the industry is headed.''
The Comet award winners were selected by a panel of editors from three industry publications: Communication Systems
Design, Embedded Systems Programming and EE Times. In addition to write-ups describing their achievements in the
pages of the September issue of Communication Systems Design, the companies will be presented with an award
befitting the honor and recognition of the Comets.
