Hey
@Zandaya @JPMax and other RYG'ers
Just doing some research & DD and thought would have a guess at the poss chip manufacturer.
Only skimmed the threads so apologies if already discussed / dismissed or whatever.
Anyway, my logic with this as follows (right or wrong
) - some links at the bottom.
Key for me in the Ann was both Xped and the chip manufacturer have established operations in Sing and that the manufacturer is NASDAQ listed and that they essentially discussed this opportunity over 6 mths ago.
So, a quick NASDAQ filter that I could find showed me that Avago Tech was incorporated / based in Sing and is now jntly headquartered in Sing and California after several months ago commencing a buyout of Broadcom but retaining the Broadcom name. This transaction was just completed in Jan / Feb 2016 I believe (timing?). Both Avago & Broadcom were listed on the NAS but the Broadcom ticker has now been retired.
Yes, I know there are other manufacturers out there but this just my logic
Broadcom also run ARM microcontroller modules as per a product snapshot link from their website.

Now - next bit is a cut /paste from one of their press releases regarding the transaction - I understand Xped is IoT obviously with the main broad objective of device connectivity within home, office etc? Avago appears to be one set of products and Broadcom another (synergistic of course) but the last couple of sentences for Broadcom are interesting.
