Management Commentary
“With today’s announcement of the completed acquisition of Broadcom’s wireless infrastructure backhaul business and the April 28, 2016 closing of the Microsemi Corporation’s wireless infrastructure access line business, as well as our own organic RF wireless infrastructure backhaul initiative, we are excited by the progression of our expanding footprint into the wireless infrastructure market. The channel synergies and customer relationships that come from both of these acquisitions, combined with MaxLinear’s CMOS RF design and integration capabilities, should accelerate MaxLinear’s total addressable market expansion efforts in the wireless infrastructure market, and lead to new levels of cost and power efficiency along with new levels of product performance in the wireless infrastructure market,” commented Kishore Seendripu, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO.
