The article examines embedded computer applications in wireless communication system devices such as cellular telephones. Such devices perform more computations to function than desktop computers. Application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) with hardwired logic predominate in these devices, as they have the efficiency to perform the necessary computations while fitting in their small size. Programming flexibility is sacrificed for the needed efficiency.
