# Optical Components for Broadband Networking

Broadcom is a global technology leader in Indium Phosphide (InP) based optical components. Our products enable applications in the Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH), Mobile Broadband Internet Access, high performance computing, Datacenter and Enterprise Networking, Metro and Long-Haul Data Communications markets.

A unique set of optical device integration and manufacturing capabilities enable both hybrid integration using different elements in a single package, and monolithic integration on a single chip.
