Samsung Uses Broadcom 3G

IRVINE, Calif. -- Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM), a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced that it has expanded its relationship with Samsung Electronics to include advanced 3G cellular solutions for a new series of Samsung mobile handsets that are now available. Broadcom launched its first generation 3G cellular baseband technology with Samsung over a year ago with the SGH-Z220, and the new handsets leverage the companies' prior joint investment. The new Samsung 3G mobile phones are now shipping to leading cellular operators in multiple countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and elsewhere.

Advanced Broadcom(R) silicon and software solutions helped the new Samsung SGH-J750 and SGH-A401 3G phones achieve an unprecedented level of affordability and compact modern design, while delivering longer battery life. The products have undergone extensive testing in extreme conditions, including worldwide roaming for well over a year to meet Samsung's most demanding quality requirements and operating conditions. Additional Samsung products with Broadcom's 3G solution are expected to be introduced for sales in Christmas season 2007.

"Broadcom is a capable and valued partner for Samsung and as the 3G market grows very rapidly, we expect that our relationship will become more successful in the future," said JK Shin, Executive Vice President of Samsung's Telecommunications Network Business. "These new handsets demonstrate the close collaboration of our companies in bringing affordable and exciting 3G mobile devices to market, and highlight our confidence in Broadcom cellular technology."

"Samsung is a recognized leader in the cellular industry, for its innovative designs, extremely aggressive project schedules and unique ability to integrate new devices and solutions into its portfolio very quickly," said Yossi Cohen, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Broadcom's Mobile Platforms Group. "These qualities match very well with Broadcom's capabilities and aggressive engineering execution culture. The resulting combination is a promising future of delivering new products to market quickly, with the latest Broadcom technology."
