Why do you think that NTT Docomo dropped Renesas Mobile from the new consortium set up to develop LTE products? I see three loosely connected but competing power plays unfolding.
If you have heard of LE Tech, you are in the minority. The company's technology, which originates in security chips for Pachinko, Japan's popular gambling machines, has far reaching implications ranging from automotive, medical devices to nuclear power plant equipment and cruise missiles -- all of which need to keep running without a system-wide reset! You learn what LE Tech is up to, also, in the area of true number generators.
