Broadcom said that it will take a one-time charge for the $60 million settlement payment in its financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2003, which the company expects to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q on or before August 14, 2003.

IRVINE, Calif., May 24, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq: BRCM), a leading provider of highly integrated semiconductor solutions enabling broadband communications, today launched the enterprise storage industry's first 4 Gigabit per second (Gbps) Fibre Channel fabric switches. These new devices fulfill the demand for an affordable storage and server Fibre Channel fabric interconnect for the rapidly growing small-to-medium sized business (SMB) segment and for embedded applications. In addition, they are designed to enable the replacement of traditional loop-switch architectures in high-density enterprise storage arrays. Through the introduction of these products, Broadcom is squarely positioned to take advantage of two major trends in storage area networks (SANs): the rapid growth of Fibre Channel for SMB and the transition to 4 Gbps Fibre Channel. With the goal of increasing the overall size of the Fibre Channel market, Fibre Channel manufacturers are pushing their technology, previously deployed mainly in large enterprise networks, down into the widely untapped and growing SMB segment. The second major trend is that of storage original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) introducing higher performance products at price points previously associated with lower data transmission speeds, to increase end-customer value and preserve overall average sale prices. The industry adoption of 4 Gbps Fibre Channel products at 2 Gbps price points is expected to duplicate the highly successful and similar transition to 2 Gbps from 1 Gbps Fibre Channel. Industry analyst firm IDC projects that Fibre Channel SMB port sales will grow at a nearly 80 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2008. According to Gartner/Dataquest, 4 Gbps Fibre Channel will grow at a CAGR of nearly 300 percent through 2007 and become the dominant speed for new Fibre Channel products in two years' time. The BCM8440: Full Featured Fabric Switch for Economical Storage Networks The Broadcom® BCM8440 fabric switch, introduced today, addresses the rapid growth of Fibre Channel in price-sensitive segments such as SMB and embedded applications. It provides a standards-compliant, full-featured solution that doubles the performance of fabric switches available on the market today. Its low power and minimal board space requirements make the BCM8440 well suited for embedded applications and network half-rack form factors - ideal for deploying redundant networks as two identical switches can now be placed side by side on one rack shelf. "The SAN switch market is migrating rapidly to 4 Gbps," said Steve Rago, Principal Analyst with the Networking and Optical Communications Analysis Service at the market research firm iSuppli Corp., El Segundo, Calif. "The first company to offer a 4 Gbps solution for the small-to-medium sized business market will have a competitive advantage over its competition."
