  • Innovative technology and low-power tuners help company tap into fast growth broadband content markets like DOCSIS 3.0

CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MaxLinear Inc. (NYSE:MXL), a leading provider of integrated radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal integrated circuits for broadband communications applications, today announced it ranked No. 365 on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America. MaxLinear grew 212 percent during this period, according to Deloitte’s ranking.

In the past year, MaxLinear has taken advantage of its market-leading technology to expand its business in high-growth broadband content markets like DOCSIS 3.0 cable systems.

The company’s tuners bring great value to its OEM customers through innovations like Full-Spectrum Capture™ technology and multiple channel support. This allows customers to deliver high-bandwidth data services and next-generation television services like viewing from computers and tablets. The company has also set the stage for future growth through expansion into satellite markets where its technology is helping to bring multi-channel viewing to satellite TV subscribers.

“Our technology advantage has allowed us to grow very rapidly worldwide in the face of strong competition,” said Kishore Seendripu, Ph.D., MaxLinear Chairman and CEO. “But we also have very smart people who work very hard and I want to thank them for their part in helping the company to grow and be a part of this prestigious list.”

We congratulate the Fast 500 companies and look forward to what they do next.”
