Broadcom Delivers World's First Single Chip Voice, Video and Data Switch System
First Product from Maverick Acquisition Delivers World's First Multi-Layer Switch Chip with 24 Wire Speed Fast Ethernet and 2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
IRVINE, Calif. - August 15, 1999 - Broadcom Corporation, (Nasdaq: BRCM), a leading provider of integrated circuits enabling broadband communications to and throughout the home and business, today announced that it is sampling a breakthrough, wire-speed, multi-layer switch that combines switching, routing and traffic classification functionality into a single monolithic integrated circuit (IC).
Broadcom's innovative StrataSwitchTM chip performs the work currently required by as many as 10 separate chips, and is capable of receiving, prioritizing and forwarding packets of voice, video and data at full speed over existing corporate networks. The chip enables systems vendors to deploy an enhanced class of services and applications -- typically found only in the core of the network -- out to every corporate desktop.
Thread,
Anybody have any info on specifically who (by name of system vendors) is or will be samplers? Any ideas on the size of the potential market?
Would appreciate any reply, even speculation. Thanks.
Regards,
