Business Description

Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (Mindspeed) was originally incorporated in Delaware in 2001 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Conexant Systems, Inc. The Company designs, develops and sells semiconductor solutions for communications applications in the wireline and wireless network infrastructure, which includes today's separate but interrelated and converging enterprise, broadband access, metropolitan and area networks. Its products are classified into three focused product families: multiservice access, high-performance analog and area networking communications. Multiservice Access products include low-power multi-core digital signal processor (DSP) system-on-a-chip (SoC) products for carrier-class triple-play edge gateways, metro trunking gateways and other Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and multi-play service platforms in the carrier infrastructure. High-Performance Analog products include high-density crosspoint switches, optical drivers and other devices, plus timing, equalization and signal-conditioning solutions for next-generation fiber access networks including ethernet passive optical networking (EPON) equipment. Its high-performance analog technology also helps address switching, timing and signal-conditioning challenges in enterprise storage equipment, and is being used in the broadcast-video network transition to 3G high-definition (HD) transmission. Wide Area Networking (WAN) Communications products include a portfolio for legacy requirements in the existing circuit-switched network, as well as emerging 3G wireless backhaul applications. Products are sold to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for use in a network infrastructure equipment, including voice and media gateways, high-speed routers, switches, access multiplexers, cross-connect systems, add-drop multiplexers, digital loop carrier equipment, IP private branch exchanges (PBXs), optical modules, broadcast video systems and wireless base station equipment. Customers include Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco Systems, Inc., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., LM Ericsson Telephone Company, Nokia Siemens Networks, Nortel Networks, Inc. and Zhongxing Telecom Equipment Corp. (ZTE). Network infrastructure OEMs require advanced communications semiconductor products such as digital signal processors, transceivers, framers, packet and cell processors, plus switching and signal timing and conditioning solutions. Its semiconductor products focus on network infrastructure equipment applications in three areas of the communications network: enterprise networks, broadband access service areas. Enterprise networks include equipment that enables voice and data communications and access to outside networks, and is deployed mainly in the offices of commercial enterprises, including specialized commercial segments, such as broadcast video production, which have demanding network requirements. The telecommunications network, including the Internet, has evolved into a complex, hybrid series of converging dig
