History
Conexant is the remnants of what were the Brooktree Corporation, the Hi-Media broadband communications chipset business of the ComStream corporation and the Rockwell's semiconductors division (modem, fax modem, DSL, GSM and CDMA chips). The Brooktree Corporation started operations in 1983 and in September 1996 was sold to Rockwell Semiconductor, a division of Rockwell International. ComStream started operations in 1984 and in May 1997 Rockwell Semiconductor acquired the Hi-Media broadband business of the company. Rockwell Semiconductor was then later spun-off from Rockwell in January 1999 and then became known as Conexant. Henry Sour Katzenstein (January 9, 1927 – January 10, 2003) was an American physicist and entrepreneur. ...
