Hi Larry,
There is plenty coming out of Israel, many by now familliar names, but also
many upstarts (fostered by US VC's), because of the well established
Military Industrial Complex overthere. I could also name no more than two
hands ful of company's of the top of my head so I googled a bit. Most of the
companies I had in mind have already been mentioned since I see.
Since you have so much of this historical stuff, perhaps you know where I
can find some nice pictures of that lovely piece of 70's design the original
Kloss projector, the 'Advent videobeam 1000' introduced in 1972?
This is all I have been able to find on line so far:

Okay, on with the mail I composed earlier on the other account not
registered with opendtv.
Harmonic, yeah very much from Israel, the original fiber communications
business was all Israeli, but expanded into the US before they acquired the
Divicom business and moved into the cable tv systems biz. The same is true
for NDS, which still has some of its most important development division(s)
overthere. News Corp's technology, encryption develloper came out of
millitary/govermenment led, funded, originated research and development
programs, that dominated the sector, like many of Israel's IT,
communications and imaging companies. There are many IT or communications
companies that also border on or have encroached upon the more traditional
broadcasting business.
If you include Gilat the following three may also be added.
RR Satellite
Shiron
Amos/IAI
A few others Runcom www.runcom.com, www.runcom.co.il
VBox Communications Ltd
BitBand Technologies Ltd
Aran Electronics Ltd
An interesting list of companies:

27 Israeli broadband cos meet US counterparts in Atlanta
(Israel Business Arena Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)27 Israeli broadband
companies, mostly new start-ups, will meet US communications corporations at
the US-Israel Broadband Business Exchange in Atlanta, organized by the
American Israel Chamber of Commerce Southeast Region.
American Israel Chamber of Commerce president Tom Glaser said, This is
basically a get-to-know-you meeting. He said 600 meetings between
representatives of the Israeli companies and of leading telecommunications
and cable companies in the Western Hemisphere were held within 24 hours. I
hear that at least one Israeli company has reached an understanding with a
US company for a joint venture as a result of the conference,
Participating Israeli companies were Adamind Ltd. (AIM:ADA), AgileCO, Allot
Communications Ltd., Atrica Inc., Axerra Networks Inc., Bitband, CableMatrix
Technologies Inc., Catch Media, Clariton Networks, Compedia, EZArchive,
FiberZone Networks, Ensure Networks (formerly Gaia BSM), Gallery IP
Telephony Inc., GooMe Interactive Ltd., Infogate Online Ltd., Integra5
Communications Ltd., ObjectTV, Orca Interactive Ltd. (AIM:ORCA), PanMedia
Group, PeerApp Inc., Resolute Networks Ltd., Scopus Video Networks Ltd.
(Nasdaq:SCOP), Screenpeaks Ltd., SercoNet, VBox Communications Ltd.,
Visitar, Wavetone Technologies, Wavion Ltd., and Xtend Networks.
Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. (CableLabs) president and CEO Richard
Green said, Israel is one of the most dynamic sources in the world of
high-tech companies, especially in broadband and telecommunications.
Atlanta-based CableLabs is a sponsor of the conference.
Veritas Venture Partners partner Lawrence Olivier said the US government and
US companies knew that Israel was a hothouse of innovation in broadband. We
expect this conference to lead to important relationships.
The US-Israel Broadband Business Exchange, held for the second time,
emphasizes Atlanta's position have the fifth largest concentration of
Israeli high-tech, biotechnology and medical devices companies in the US,
after New York, Silicon Valley, Boston's Route 128, and northern Virginia.
Glaser said 45 Israeli companies were active in greater Atlanta, employing
thousands of workers. These companies include Amdocs Ltd. (NYSE:DOX),
Mercury Interactive Corporation (Pink Sheets:MERQ), Check Point Software
Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), and Given Imaging Ltd. (Nasdaq: GIVN;
TASE:GIVN). Some Israeli companies are headquartered in Atlanta, while
others maintain R&D centers or regional offices.
5,000 Israelis live in Atlanta, mostly employed by Israeli companies in the
area. Glaser said this was a very mobile community, with many families
spending a few years in Atlanta before returning to Israel.
The heavy business traffic between Israel and Atlanta has not gone unnoticed
by Delta Airlines, which will inaugurate a direct Tel Aviv-Atlanta route in
March. Glaser said this business traffic was a reason for the decision to
launch the route.
