(Nasdaq:CNXT), in which he talks at length about his company's future. He says, "Conexant Systems is a new entity in the sense that it was formed in January 1999 as a spin to shareholders of Rockwell's semiconductor systems business. As a part of Rockwell, we had been in the semiconductor business and, in particular, the communications semiconductor business for about 30 years." He explains, "When Conexant was created, we became the largest pure play communications semiconductor company in the entire semiconductor industry. That's a key fact about Conexant, that we are a semiconductor company totally focused in communications. We have the broadest product portfolio, as well. We're also the only pure-play communications investment that has significant business in wireless communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. - our business in wireless will be more than $250 million this year - as well as a broad family of wireline communications products. All other pure plays are either focused in wireless or they're focused in wireline, but not in both." Looking forward, he states, "In the semiconductor arena, communications is absolutely the best market segment that anyone could invest in. And I would emphasize that Conexant has a very unique position within that segment. I hope that a year or so from now we'll be considered the blue chip of communications semiconductors because we're the largest pure-play, and we have the broadest product portfolio. We have products in all of the hot growth areas of communications: areas like digital cellular, broad-band access through DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary and cable modems cable modem Modem used to convert analog data signals to digital form and vise versa, for transmission or receipt over cable television lines, especially for connecting to the Internet. ."
