RE:designcon for dummies interpretive guide anyone?
The first question I can answer. No, no other company can do what Spectra7 can. Every single other tech that has to date been suspected as competitive to Spectra7 has turned out to be either completely different, or complentary to Spectra7.
Analogix, for instance, was once touted here as a direct competitor, but it turns out they sell completely different chips that are used alongside S7 chips.
The second question I cannot answer. I simply don't know how that works.
