AMSTERDAM — (BUSINESS WIRE) — September 15, 2017 — MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a leading provider of radio frequency (RF), analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for the connected home, wired and wireless infrastructure, and industrial and multimarket applications, announced today it will demonstrate its Full Duplex DOCSIS® (FDX) technology showcasing MaxLinear’s proprietary echo cancellation technology at the IBC Exhibition.
FDX allows the re-use of the last-mile coaxial cable infrastructure to cost-effectively provide fiber-like Internet access speeds.
The combination of FDX and DOCSIS 3.1 technologies will provide cable service providers a platform to deploy multi-gigabit upstream speeds for broadband services.
Unlike traditional upstream speed increases where the upstream spectrum reduces the total downstream spectrum, FDX is able to simultaneously share the spectrum for both upstream and downstream traffic, allowing cable operators to extend upstream speeds without sacrificing valuable downstream spectrum.
The deployment of FDX over DOCSIS 3.1 and existing hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) technology will allow up to 10 Gbps bandwidth with symmetrical capability for upstream and downstream broadband services in the future, removing the need and prohibitive cost of the deployment of fiber to the home.
“MaxLinear is proud to help cable operators in the transition to next-generation, multi-gigabit broadband data services,” said Will Torgerson, Vice President & General Manager, MaxLinear Broadband Group. “We’ve implemented the best-in-class FDX technology using our leadership in RF, analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit development in order to provide cable service providers with a future-proof remote PHY device solution in a very low-power and cost-effective design.”
MaxLinear’s FDX technology will be demonstrated at IBC, Sept. 15 – 19, 2017, in MaxLinear’s meeting suite - RAI Hall 15 MS23. For reservations, please contact sales@maxlinear.com.

forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to be
materially different from any future results expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on
management’s current, preliminary expectations and are subject to
various risks and uncertainties. The closing of recent acquisitions of
wireless infrastructure assets from Microsemi and Broadcom present
particular risks associated with our ability to integrate the acquired
businesses, and maintain relationships with employees, customers, and
vendors. In addition, our current expectations with respect to the size
of the available market and growth opportunities in future years are
subject to substantial management assumptions that are themselves
subject to material risks and uncertainties. Additional risks and
uncertainties that could affect our assumptions and expectations with
respect to the completed acquisitions that also generally affect our
business, operating results, financial condition, and stock price,
include, intense competition in our industry; our dependence on a
limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenues;
uncertainties concerning how end user markets for our products will
develop; potential uncertainties arising from continued consolidation
among cable television and satellite operators in our target markets and
continued consolidation among competitors within the semiconductor
industry generally; our ability to develop and introduce new and
enhanced products on a timely basis and achieve market acceptance of
those products, particularly as we seek to expand outside of our
historic markets; potential decreases in average selling prices for our
products; risks relating to intellectual property protection and the
prevalence of intellectual property litigation in our industry,
including pending litigation against us by a third parties in the United
States District Court in Delaware and Superior Court of California; our
reliance on a limited number of third party manufacturers; and our lack
of long-term supply contracts and dependence on limited sources of
supply. In addition to these risks and uncertainties, investors should
review the risks and uncertainties contained in MaxLinear’s filings with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most
