Does name dropping…(Broadcom)…work?

Do you care that Broadcom chooses to use Perle IOLAN Terminal Servers?

NASHVILLE, TN — September 12th, 2018 — If I tell you that Broadcom uses my product in their R&D labs, do you care? Broadcom has been a Fortune 500 company since 2009. They employ 11,750 people worldwide in more than 15 countries. Their turnover in 2017 was $17.636 billion. Broadcom chips are used in smartphones, data storage gear, set-top boxes and networking hardware. Customers include Apple, Samsung Electronics, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell, AT&T and Cisco. Heck, according to their company history page, they introduced the first fiber optic transmitters and receivers for data communications before the first Millennial was born.

So, if a company this big, this successful, this established, chooses to use my product in their R&D labs does that mean anything? To stay ahead of the competition, Broadcom invests more than $800 million dollars per quarter in R&D labs around the world. Surely, to become as successful as they are, they know how to make good decisions regarding the equipment used in those labs. Quality must be important. They would not... could not… risk their success by using sub-par equipment and devices. So, the fact that they choose to use Perle proves that Perle meets their high performance, security and reliability standards.
