IQT to Help Bring Transceiver Chips to Govt Market; Robert Ames Comments

In-Q-Tel is partnering with a British transceiver chip manufacturer to deliver the chips to commercial and government markets and create systems for many applications.

Lime Microsystems said it has also designed a toolkit for creating and testing wireless systems, repeaters, femtocells, enterprise femtocells and picocells, GNU radio and white space radio applications.

Lime created the first commercial integrated transceiver for use on many frequencies and standards, said Robert Ames, senior vice president of In-Q-Tel’s information and communication technologies practice.

The LMS6002D chip is a single-chip radio frequency transceiver for 3GPP and WiMAX applications, which Lime says can be digitally configured to operate in 16 user-selectable bandwidths up to 28 megahertz.

IQT, the U.S. intelligence community’s investment arm, also is partnering with ReversingLab to bring that company’s binary analysis technology platform to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
