Henry Samueli and Henry Nicholas, two seasoned businessmen with thirty years combined experience in communications integrated circuits, founded Broadcom in 1991. Nicholas became the company’s president and CEO, and Samueli was promoted to vice president of research and development. After two years, the business achieved great success when it got a large contract with Scientific-Atlanta to supply chipsets for cable TV boxes.
Throughout the rest of the 1990s, Broadcom focused on developing high-speed communication chips, especially to support cable modems and computer networks to meet the increasing demand for internet access. In 1998, the company made a historic move by launching its initial public offering (IPO) for $24 per share. As the year 2000 progressed, the business expanded beyond its initial scope. It expanded into Bluetooth technology, wireless communications, and specialized networking CPUs.
With revenues expected to surpass $27 billion by 2021, Broadcom is a leading semiconductor and infrastructure software industry player. Its wide range of products, which are used in data centres, networking, the internet, wireless communications, and industrial settings, among other industries, makes it a global leader in today’s tech scene.
Certainly! Let’s look at the fascinating history of the Broadcom Logo🌟
1991-2018
The initial logo’s origins may be traced back to 1991 when electrical engineering expert and Los Angeles University professor Henry Samueli established Broadcom Corporation at a nearby office with one of his graduate students.
2018-Present
Following the completion of their merger agreement in 2016, Broadcom Corporation and Avago Technologies combined to form a massive company with an annual revenue of $15 billion. Broadcom Ltd. was the name of the merger. The new player changed its appearance in 2018.
