Jointly headquartered in San Jose, California, and Singapore, Broadcom Technologies (earlier known as Avago Technologies) designs, develops, and supplies analogue, digital, and optoelectronics components and systems. In May 2015, Avago had announced its plans to acquire Broadcom Technologies for $37 billion (a combination of $17 billion cash and S20 billion in shares). This acquisition significantly in- creased Broadcom's patcut position in sectors like conmunication teclnologics, making it the uisth larg- est patent-holder in semiconductor vendor's category. Broadcom's varied product portfolio has four target markets, including wireless communications, enterprise storage, wired infrastructure, and industrial. In August 2015, Broadcom announced the release of products40G bidirectional (BiDi) mul- timode fiber (MMF) QSFP + transceiver module, and the AFBR-79EBPZ-that were designed for high-speed data center interconnect and networking applications. Broadcom provided a cost-effective solution to upgrade Ethernet in the data center with its 40 GbE links on existing LC duplex multimode fiber In October 2015, Broadcom Technologies released an industry-first new multi-reader HDD read channel in silicon, supporting product development of next-generation HDD controllers with high- performance data rates and enabling Array Reader Magnetic Recording (ARMR) to provide densi- Lies greater thaan 1.3 Tb/in^2 Capacity gains cnabled by the HDD read channcls are almost 10 times more than the previous generation channel technologies. In addition to this, the new technology more cost-effective than the preNiOuS KHgde-reuder HDD system on chips (SoCs the new technology doesn't have any performance limituios making it deal for dleploying in all HDD enterprise and consumer markets.
