Broadcom acquires Zyray Wireless

IRVINE, Calif.-Broadcom Corp. said it has signed an agreement to acquire Zyray Wireless Inc.

Zyray makes a semiconductor product called Spinnerchip for the baseband of third-generation mobile phones.

“Pairing the Spinnerchip technology with Broadcom’s single-chip EDGE/GPRS/GSM and GPRS/GSM baseband processors enables two-chip W-CDMA multi-mode phones in the near term and provides the potential for future solutions with enhanced integration,” said the Broadcom.

Broadcom settled a patent dispute with Microtune earlier this week.
