During the quarter, we continued to expand our world-class product portfolio by announcing a number of market-leading products including our new 802.11b baseband and RF solution, Libertas(TM), for wireless LAN networking. This two-chip solution is the world's first all-CMOS, lowest power and highest integration wireless LAN solution for the 802.11b market. Marvell also announced the first members of the Prestera(TM) family, the Prestera-MX Ethernet switches, which are the industry's highest performance Ethernet switches to support 10 Gb/s speeds and advanced networking features." "As we enter the new fiscal year, we are very excited about the strength of our business and our position to capitalize on a number of major product transitions currently underway, including the transition from standalone read channels to integrated system-on-chip solutions, the continued adoption of Gigabit Ethernet and the rapid deployment of wireless LAN networking," concluded Dr. Sutardja.
