Etherstack is a wireless communications software company, and a leading independent waveform specialist. The company has been developing waveforms for radio manufacturers and defence clients internationally for over ten years - since the outset of commercial Software Defined Radio (SDR) - and pioneered many unique techniques and tools key to successful SDR waveform development. Etherstack’s engineers combine waveform design best-practice with a detailed knowledge of communications standards such as APCO P25, TETRA, DMR, MPT1327, UMTS, WiMAX, LTE and military specifications. They also specialise in multi-protocol IP core networks, which can be used with waveforms for completely flexible wide-area, field-deployable communications.

Ettus Research  specializes in low cost, high quality software defined radio (SDR) systems. Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) systems all over the world enable users to address a broad range of research, academic, industrial, and defense applications. The USRP platform is designed to address applications that require frequencies up to 6GHz with wide bandwidths and MIMO capabilities

• Spectra OE - a high-performance, low-overhead, core framework and middleware implementation that runs on any mix of GPP, DSP, and FPGA processor technologies.

The company counts about 7.500 workers and headquarters in Genoa.

SELEX Elsag is one of Finmeccanica’s three strategic poles within the electronics sector for defense, along with SELEX Sistemi Integrati – which works within defense, homeland security and surface radars circles – and SELEX Galileo – avionic and electro-optics competences center. In addition to these, DRS is a US company specialized in defense and security electronics - particularly within C4I – and electro-optics for ground and ISTAR applications, as well as within signal intelligence systems.

Thales is a global technology leader for the Defence & Security and the Aerospace & Transport markets. In 2009, the company generated revenues of €12.9 billion with 68,000 employees in 50 countries. With its 22,500 engineers and researchers, Thales has a unique capability to design, develop and deploy equipment, systems and services that meet the most complex security requirements. Thales has an exceptional international footprint, with operations around the world working with customers as local partners.

Thales is an industry leader in the development and manufacture of battle-proven, software-defined radio equipment and solutions, developing international software radio solutions, working on standards and systems interoperability.

Thales has pioneered SDR technology in US, participating in all JTRS domains and deploying the JTRS-approved handheld radio AN/PRC-148 JEM and introducing the Liberty, a multi-band SDR handheld radio for public safety.

Thales contributes to key European SDR Programs, such as ESSOR or the German SVFuA program. Thanks to its cooperation with Rockwell Collins, Thales is in a position to currently offer FlexNet, the first SCA-compliant international SDR platforms with a powerful high data rate ad-hoc networking waveform for Network Centric Operations transition.
