Whois & Analysis for brocade.com

Broadcom Corporation was an American fabless semiconductor company that made products for the wireless and broadband communication industry.

It was acquired by Avago Technologies in 2016 and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the merged entity called Broadcom Limited.

The division is headquartered in Irvine, California.

Broadcom Corporation was founded by professor-student pair Henry Samueli and Henry Nicholas from UCLA in 1991.

In 1995 the company moved from its Westwood, Los Angeles office to Irvine, California.

In 1998, Broadcom became a public company on the NASDAQ exchange (ticker symbol: BRCM) and now employs approximately 11,750 people worldwide in more than 15 countries.

Semiconductors are crystalline or amorphous solids with distinct electrical characteristics.

They are of high electrical resistance — higher than typical resistance materials, but still of much lower resistance than insulators.

Their resistance decreases as their temperature increases, which is behavior opposite to that of a metal.

Finally, their conducting properties may be altered in useful ways by the deliberate, controlled introduction of impurities ("doping") into the crystal structure, which lowers its resistance but also permits the creation of semiconductor junctions between differently-doped regions of the extrinsic semiconductor crystal.

The behavior of charge carriers which include electrons, ions and electron holes at these junctions is the basis of diodes, transistors and all modern electronics.

Infrastructure refers to the fundamental facilities and systems serving a country, city, or area, including the services and facilities necessary for its economy to function.

It typically characterises technical structures such as roads, bridges, tunnels, water supply, sewers, electrical grids, telecommunications, and so forth, and can be defined as "the physical components of interrelated systems providing commodities and services essential to enable, sustain, or enhance societal living conditions.".

Technology ("science of craft", from Greek, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and) is the collection of techniques, skills, s and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation.

Technology can be the knowledge of techniques, processes, and the like, or it can be embedded in machines which can be operated without detailed knowledge of their workings.

A multinational corporation or worldwide enterprise is a corporate organization that owns or controls production of goods or services in one or more countries other than their home country.

It can also be referred to as an international corporation, a transnational corporation, or a stateless corporation.

There are subtle but real differences between these three labels, as well as those labels of multinational corporation and a worldwide enterprise.
