This is old news from 2005:

aeroTelesis confirmed last Thursday the successful hardware implementation of a unique digital filter design into FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) for the breakthrough Ultra Spectral Modulation (USM) technology.
Technical representatives of the Company witnessed a hardware demonstration, performed by Photron Technologies and AccelChip, of the digital filter operating in FPGA devices.

The exciting part here is that a 3rd party, AccelChip (now acquired by Xlinx) confirmed the sucessful test.
Ever since this news the next step was to transfer from a FPGA to ASIC, which is the whole ball game .
