Broadcom is headquartered in California.
Broadcom Inc. is a semiconductor and infrastructure-software company based in Palo Alto, California. It was created in 2016 when Avago Technologies acquired Broadcom Corporation and adopted the Broadcom name. The transaction brought together major businesses in wired and wireless communications chips.
The company’s products support networking, broadband, storage, wireless communication, and data-center infrastructure. Broadcom also expanded substantially into enterprise software through its 2022 acquisition of VMware, a major virtualization and cloud-computing company.
Broadcom is often confused with the older Broadcom Corporation, which was founded in 1991 and was acquired by Avago in 2016. The current company is Broadcom Inc., while its headquarters remain in Palo Alto. Its market value has been strongly associated with demand for networking hardware and chips used in artificial-intelligence data centers.
