    --  The finalization of the WAPI standard has opened an enormous opportunity
        for wireless technology suppliers to help address China's increasing
        appetite for wireless connectivity at home and on-the-go.
    --  Broadcom is already a leader in the Chinese home networking segment. All
        major Chinese carriers and router vendors currently use Broadcom WLAN
        solutions in wireless routers and broadband gateways. Those customers
        can easily migrate to products based on Broadcom technology that support
        WAPI.
    --  As China's mobile operators rapidly transition their cellular
        infrastructure to 3G, they are looking for ways to avoid network
        congestion.  WLAN offloads data traffic from the cellular infrastructure
        and onto IP networks, helping accommodate data needs driven by
        smartphones and increasingly popular connected devices.
    --  Broadcom has shipped more WLAN, Bluetooth and FM combo chips than any
        other vendor, with volumes in the last six months doubling the number
        shipped since the company introduced the devices 18 months ago. This
        accomplishment establishes Broadcom as a leader in innovative WLAN
        solutions for mobile devices. Its strategic support of WAPI and the
        projected growth of smartphones in China give Broadcom an excellent
        opportunity to further expand its presence in this segment. Broadcom is
        among the first WLAN chipmakers to offer WAPI-enabled solutions aimed at
        wireless routers and mobile devices, including:
        --  The InConcert(R) BCM4325 - Combines WLAN, Bluetooth(R) and FM
            technologies into a single 65 nanometer (nm) die, enables the most
            popular wireless features in cellular handsets and other mobile
            devices. The combination chip significantly reduces the size and
            power consumption, and features Broadcom's leading coexistence
            technology to provide best-in-class wireless performance.
        --  A range of solutions that enable 802.11g, 802.11n 1x1, 2x2, single
            and dual band wireless routers and residential gateways with a range
            of feature sets and price points, including the BCM5354, BCM5356,
            BCM4312, BCM4313, BCM4318e, BCM4322, BCM43222, BCM43224, BCM432225,
            BCM4716, BCM4717, BCM4718  and BCM6362.
        --  All of these chips leverage Broadcom's superior radio and digital
            architecture to provide robust wireless connectivity to share
            broadband connections and support triple-play services throughout a
            typical home.
    --  Top-tier global handset manufacturers will soon ship WAPI-enabled
        smartphones that use Broadcom's industry-leading BCM4325 combo chip. In
        working with these customers, Broadcom's WAPI features have been
        certified for use on two of China's cellular networks, and have been
        proven on two of the most popular mobile operating systems, Windows
        Mobile and Android.
    --  As part of Broadcom's unique OneDriver(TM) software, Broadcom is
        implementing the identical WAPI code across multiple platforms, which
        provides manufacturers with a well-tested software architecture and
        proven performance for a variety of devices, driving down their costs.
        As WLAN becomes more prevalent in broadband gateways and consumer
        electronics, Broadcom's WAPI software may be added to future DSL,
        digital television (DTV) and set-top box platforms.

    --  The WAPI Industry Alliance, which was formed in March 2006, currently
        has nearly 70 members representing a variety of companies from areas
        including research and development, software development, standard
        ratification, chip design, product manufacturing and system integration,
        telecom carriers.

    --  The global explosion of mobile devices, bandwidth-hungry applications
        and consumer demand for 24/7 connectivity to IP-based video, social
        networking and location-based services are overwhelming today's mobile
        networks. Service providers are now challenged to provide 'on demand'
        connectivity and a better user experience on 3G and future 4G networks
        or risk the loss of high revenue generating subscribers. To meet these
        performance needs, networking OEMs must quickly bring to market low
        cost, data-oriented mobile backhaul equipment.
    --  Traditionally, slow time division multiplex (TDM)-based mobile backhaul
        equipment was built using costly custom application-specific ICs
        (ASICs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and/or disparate
        components from niche suppliers. This design model, however, results in
        sub-standard equipment that is expensive, has a lengthy time-to-market
        and is not suitable for data and video. Ethernet application specific
        standard products (ASSPs) provide optimized bandwidth at the lowest cost
        for this application.
    --  The latest Broadcom(R) Ethernet switch products are optimized to reduce
        capital and operational expenditures. These solutions now enable service
        providers to manage broadband and mobile connectivity simultaneously on
        a single network with complete product interoperability.
    --  Broadcom service provider switch products deliver on three key design
        principles:
        --  Consistency: Advanced protocols not only deliver efficient
            end-to-end provisioning of revenue generating services, but also
            facilitate easier network manageability. Broadcom's service provider
            switch portfolio offers a common set of features and protocols for
            every step in the network, minimizing operational expenditures and
            reducing cost of ownership.
        --  Scalability: Scaling demands vary dramatically across the service
            provider network. Broadcom offers a wide variety of service provider
            switch products that are optimized to scale to the appropriate level
            at each point in the network. Providers require this range of
            scalability not only to achieve high performance in the core, but
            also to address the cost concerns associated with edge equipment
            which must support a high number of cellular sites.
        --  Quality: Providers must demonstrate that their networks adhere to
            contractual service level agreements. Broadcom designs and tests its
            switch silicon to meet the field performance demands of the service
            provider market. In addition to rigorous test and manufacturing
            methodologies, Broadcom devices incorporate extensive resiliency
            mechanisms, performance monitoring capabilities and traffic
            management services.
    --  Broadcom's service provider switch portfolio incorporates products from
        Broadcom's StrataXGS(R), XGS(TM) Core and RoboSwitch(TM) Ethernet switch
        product lines. In total, Broadcom now features more than 30 switch
        products built specifically to meet the requirements of next generation
        service provider networks (this includes previously announced products).
        The five (5) new switch series being introduced today include the
        following:
        --  BCM56630 - Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)/10GE switches for carrier Ethernet
            aggregation switches and routers
        --  BCM56685 - 2.5G switches for embedded access systems
        --  BCM56330 - GbE edge switches for mobile backhaul applications
        --  BCM56130 - Fast Ethernet (FE) edge switches for business-class
            access
        --  BCM53280 - FE edge switches for consumer multi-tenant units (MTUs)

    --  Carrier-class switch products are commonly used in conjunction with
        Broadcom's digital subscriber line (DSL) and cable broadband products,
        physical layer (PHY) transceivers and serializer/deserializer (SerDes)
        solutions to deliver a variety of commercial silicon products for
        service providers.

Supporting Quotes:

Gabriele Corliano, Chief Researcher--Network Research & Technology Strategy, British Telecom:

"BT recognizes the potential for Ethernet to cost-effectively deliver the high bandwidth network required of modern access technologies. We are very encouraged by Broadcom's development of Ethernet switches that support the necessary protocols and technologies that will allow us to roll out new and diverse value-add services."

Martin Lund, Vice President & General Manager for Broadcom's Network Switching Business Unit:

"Broadcom is applying 'Ethernet economics' to a market that has historically been served by costly legacy solutions that do not meet the bandwidth demands of next generation 3G and 4G mobile networks. Our new service provider switch portfolio solves a real-world problem, providing the unification of mobile and broadband networks."
