Beceem Selects Mindspeed® Broadband Gateway Processor for Use Within Its WiMAX VoIP Gateway Solution

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:MSPD), a leading supplier of semiconductor
solutions for network infrastructure applications, today announced Beceem
Communications Inc., a leading provider of mobile WiMAX chips, has selected
Mindspeed's Comcerto 100 broadband gateway processor for use within its BCS5200
customer premise equipment (CPE) chip for residential, small office/home office
(SOHO), small-to-midsize businesses (SMB) and enterprise applications.

"With our BCS5200 device, Beceem has once again demonstrated our technology
leadership by enabling our customers to deliver low-cost, high-performance WiMAX
CPE routers with integrated voice-over-IP (VoIP) and WiFi for commercial
deployment in multiple mobile WiMAX networks worldwide," said Aditya Agrawal,
senior director of marketing at Beceem.

The BCS5200 is the industry`s first, complete, single-chip WiMAX with integrated
voice and gateway router functionality, and started shipping in commercial
volumes in the second calendar quarter of 2009. The BCS5200 single-chip device
combines Beceem`s high-performance WiMAX solution with Mindspeed`s Comcerto 100
processor that supports a complete suite of VoIP codecs and IP network protocol
stacks. Providing all the features of a voice and data gateway in a single chip
significantly reduces the external component count and lowers the bill of
materials (BOM) for voice and data gateways by at least 20 percent over existing
solutions.

"We are pleased that an industry innovator and leader like Beceem is using our
low-power broadband gateway Comcerto 100 processor within their high-performance
integrated single chip to lower the cost of WiMAX VoIP gateways, which we
believe will accelerate the adoption and deployment of WiMAX CPE home routers,"
said Marco Bello, director of marketing and product management for Mindspeed`s
CPE business.

Mindspeed`s Comcerto 100 processor combines a high-performance virtual private
network (VPN)/wide area network (WAN) router platform with a guaranteed
low-latency voice subsystem. The Comcerto 100 answers the growing residential
and business demand for gigabit class Internet Protocol (IP) networking,
stringent quality of service, carrier-class VoIP, low power and advanced
security.

According to market research firm In-Stat in its "Global Outlook for Broadband
CPE Through 2013" report, released last month, several segments of the broadband
CPE market are expected to grow considerably faster than the overall market from
2008 to 2013. "The markets for cable, fixed wireless broadband (FWB), and
fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) residential gateways will each exceed 30 percent unit
CAGR from 2008 to 2013," said Joyce Putscher, In-Stat analyst. "In the FWB
category, the majority of global FWB subscribers are now WiMAX."
