    Aware takes an intellectual approach to the DSL market. The company, which sells hardware and software used to make asymmetric DSL equipment, derives some of its revenue from contract design services and licensing fees for its ADSL semiconductor intellectual property designs.

Aware additionally develops compression software for video, image, and data transmission. The company sells to the likes of Infineon Technologies (about 26% of sales), Spirent Communications (16%), and Alcatel-Lucent (10%). Aware gets more than half of its sales in the US.
