You don't need that kind of equipment any more since the advent of VoIP and software-defined radio/networking.
> The US can no longer make smartphones.
Apple is US-based as is the world's leading provider of mobile communication chips Qualcomm (and for what it's worth I seriously believe Apple is going to go vertical on that part too!), and with Google you have a second US-based vendor of operating systems.
Or are you referring to the capability of produce all components of a smartphone on US soils?
