Robert,

A company out of Ottawa for example sells SiGe amplifiers for use as Class 1 output stages for Bluetooth modules (+20 dBm amplifiers for 100m range)

So do Infineon

Robert - Re: "SiGe is currently being used in the RF stages of many wireless devices."

Thanks for that input.

Re: "Is there any advantage to using SiGe over Gallium Arsenide (VTSS, TQNT etc) "

I would imagine that, ultimately, cost will be lower with SiGe - as well as ease of manufacturing - once the technology progresses.
