News Highlights:

● Industry's first single-chip Gigabit-class DSL device for multi-service, multimedia gateways
● Provides telcos with multiple high-end WAN connectivity options, adding G.fast to ADSL/VDSL,
Gigabit Ethernet, and enhanced interfaces for LTE fixed wireless modems

Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for
wired and wireless communications, today introduced advanced G.fast capabilities for its BCM63138
gateway SoC to allow global telcos to deliver Gigabit-class services to subscribers. The new G.fast
digital subscriber line (DSL) standard, capable of supporting data rates in excess of 1Gbps with 106
MHz spectrum, augments Broadcom's telecom access portfolio to ensure carriers can deliver the
fastest, most flexible and highest quality services to meet growing bandwidth and service needs. For

Broadcom's BCM63138 high-performance device with G.fast for home gateways complements the
new BCM65200/900 central office (CO) family of SoCs and further extends Broadcom's broadband
carrier access portfolio, including ADSL/VDSL/Vectoring, Gigabit Ethernet and enhanced LTE.
Broadcom will showcase its end-to-end DSL solutions at Broadband World Forum in Amsterdam
from October 21-23, 2014 in booth #M7.

"Broadcom is combining the best-in-class ADSL/VDSL/Vectoring and advanced application

capabilities of the BCM63138 with the new G.fast DSL standard to deliver the ultimate performance
in multi-service, multimedia home gateway solutions," said Greg Fischer, Broadcom Senior Vice
President and General Manager, Broadband Carrier Access. "Service providers and carriers looking
to deploy G.fast solutions in early 2015 can leverage this compatible design to easily upgrade to
even higher bandwidth data rates for Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and Gigabit-class
broadband service offerings."

The BCM63138 also supports Gigabit dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi, multiport Gigabit Ethernet and
multiline VoIP, allowing residential customers to experience the highest LAN data rates throughout
the entire home. Utilizing a 1 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 processor plus additional offload
engines and dedicated routing accelerator, Broadcom's BCM63138 maximizes the capabilities
offered by high-end Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) devices such as home gateways. The device
also fulfills a growing residential customer demand for high-end Networked Attached Storage (NAS)
with support for high performance NAS and hard drive connectivity and extends the deployment
longevity of CPE equipment.
