picoChip announced today that it has been named in FierceWiFi’s annual Fierce 15 list, honoring picoChip for its innovation in the wireless market. FierceWiFi is an internationally recognized email newsletter published by FierceMarkets (www.fiercemarkets.com), designed to provide executives with up-to-date information on the wireless broadband marketplace, from WiFi to WiMAX and beyond. picoChip’s multi-core DSP has established it as the leading architecture for WiMAX infrastructure, and a key supplier to the emerging segment of 3G femtocells.

“We congratulate picoChip for being a FierceWiFi15 company,” said Ben Frankel, editor of FierceWiFi. “This is truly a cutting-edge company, with its multi-core DSP setting the standard for signal processing performance and affordability. The company’s solutions make software-defined radios viable; the company also offers complete software reference designs for WiMAX and UMTS. We also note the company’s early attention to the Asian market. picoChip has been ahead of the pack on several fronts, and there is every reason to believe it will continue to occupy that position in the future.”
Guillaume d’Eyssautier, President and CEO of picoChip, commented, "We are honored to be recognized publicly in this way for the key aspects of the company that we take pride in, and strive to excel at. It is notable how the broadband wireless market is developing from its success in WiFi to addressing technologies such as WiMAX and HSDPA, and that a publication like FierceWiFi has recognized us as leaders in this drive.”
This is the second such award from FierceMarkets. picoChip was independently awarded the FierceWireless “Fierce 15” award in 2005.
