From the Graveyard
You just read about Qualcomm. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Alphawave Semi built SerDes, connectivity IP, chiplets and custom silicon. What became of it?
Alphawave Semi brought SerDes, connectivity IP, chiplets and custom silicon to Semiconductor. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Qualcomm for US$2.3B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Qualcomm today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about Bluetooth. Here is what it replaced:
IrDA (infrared) served 1993–2000. What ultimately replaced it?
IrDA (infrared) short-range, line-of-sight data links using modulated infrared LEDs between devices (up to 4 Mbit/s), needing direct aim and close proximity. Its job passed to Bluetooth — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
