About the brand ❤️
Qualcomm Atheros is a semiconductor technology unit within Qualcomm that specializes in network communications and connectivity chips used in a wide range of devices such as Wi-Fi routers, laptops, mobile devices and IoT products. The business began in 1998 as Atheros Communications, Inc., founded by experts in signal processing and VLSI design, and became known for its wireless chipsets supporting standards like IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, Ethernet and powerline communications. Atheros went public in 2004 and built a reputation for high-performance networking silicon in consumer and enterprise products. In 2011, the company was acquired by Qualcomm Incorporated for several billion dollars and rebranded Qualcomm Atheros, continuing to operate as a subsidiary focused on connectivity solutions that complement Qualcomm’s broader mobile and semiconductor portfolio. Its technology supports devices across global markets and remains integral to wireless networking infrastructure within Qualcomm’s product ecosystem, blending Atheros innovations with Qualcomm’s broader chipset and communications technology strategy.
