Broadcom

Broadcom Inc. is a global technology company that designs, develops, and supplies a broad range of semiconductor and infrastructure software products. It operates in two main segments: semiconductors and infrastructure software. The semiconductor business provides devices used in data centers, networking, telecommunications, storage, wireless, and consumer electronics, including processors, controllers, adapters, switches, and RF components. The software business offers enterprise infrastructure software, cybersecurity, and cloud-management tools, built through the acquisitions of CA Technologies (2018) and VMware (completed 2023), among others.

The company is headquartered in San Jose, California, and serves customers worldwide, including original equipment manufacturers, cloud service providers, and communications equipment vendors. Broadcom's products are used in servers, switches, storage networks, mobile devices, and edge devices, often delivering high performance with low power consumption.

Broadcom's corporate history begins with the Broadcom Corporation, founded in 1991. In 2015 Avago Technologies acquired Broadcom Corporation and, in 2016, adopted the Broadcom name as Broadcom Limited. In 2018 the company reorganized as Broadcom Inc., with a single U.S.-listed entity. The company has since expanded its software capabilities through major acquisitions, including CA Technologies and VMware, reinforcing its footprint in enterprise software and cloud infrastructure in addition to its semiconductor business.
