video typically operating at data transmission rates between 155 megabits per second mbit s and 10 gigabits per second gbit s . the transmission products include laser drivers transimpedance amplifiers post amplifiers clock and data recovery circuits signal conditioners serializers deserializers video reclockers cable drivers and line equalizers . these products serve as the connection between a fiber optic or coaxial cable component interface and the remainder of the electrical subsystem in various network equipment . the switching products include a family of high speed crosspoint switches capable of switching traffic beyond 8 gbit s within various types of network switching equipment . typical equipment applications for switching products include otn systems add drop multiplexers high density ip switches and storage area routers . in addition crosspoint switches are used for broadcast video routing and production switching applications . wide area networking edit the legacy wan communications portfolio includes carrier ethernet devices layer 2 processors t carrier and e carrier devices and symmetric digital subscriber line sdsl solutions . history edit mindspeed technologies was formed from the spin off of the network access division of conexant systems inc. to shareowners on june 27 2003 ; creating two independent publicly traded communications semiconductor companies . 1 conexant systems was established four years earlier when rockwell international spun off its rockwell semiconductor systems rss division 6 to shareholders as an independent company focused exclusively on providing semiconductor products for communications electronics . the network access division which became mindspeed helped to develop and commercialize 56kbps client side and central site modem technology in the mid to late 1990s that was used to deploy dial up internet access services offered by internet service providers isps . 1 as an independent company mindspeed used its experience in analog and mixed signal communications semiconductor technology to create multi core packet processing devices for voice over ip voip gateways routers and other communications systems . in january 2012 mindspeed acquired british company picochip for about 52 million . 7 mindspeed acquired by macom 8 and mindspeed wireless acquired by intel . manufacturing
