Smart Link Ltd.
 PROFILE
Smart Link's a softy when it comes to modems. The company makes software-based modems (soft modems) installed on third-party chips using computers' CPUs, rather than requiring a dedicated processor. Its HAMR5600 modem is used in both PCs and notebook computers. Smart Link sells to modem card and PC motherboard makers, which incorporate Smart Link software and resell the bundled result. The company is gearing its software for other technologies, such as digital subscriber lines. Israeli investment firms Ampal-American Israel and Poalim Investments (Smart Link chairman Ronen Harel is EVP of a Poalim subsidiary) will each own about 20% of Soft Link following the planned IPO, primarily through a jointly owned VC firm.
