BroadLogic Named to AlwaysOn 100 Top Private Company Innovators List

Company Lauded for Market Traction, Leadership and Game-Changing Technology

SAN JOSE, Calif.
July 18, 2007

BroadLogic Network Technologies, a leading provider of bandwidth reclamation solutions for broadband networks, was included in the AlwaysOn AO100 Top Private Companies for 2007. The award, announced yesterday, recognized BroadLogic for innovation, market potential, and investor value creation.

The company, which recently announced a key round of financing led by Comcast Interactive Capital, develops chips that enable multiple service operators (MSOs) to offer consumers next-generation video and ultra-high-speed data services, including video-on-demand, high-definition video, and VoIP.

According to the Consumer Electronics Association, 28 percent of U.S. homes have HDTVs, representing 35 million high-definition sets. The group predicts another 16 million HDTVs will ship into the marketplace this year. As consumer demand for multi-play broadband services, such as video, voice and data, continues to grow, BroadLogic’s technologies enable MSOs to outpace subscriber appetite while reclaiming up to 80 percent of their available bandwidth.

“BroadLogic is committed to providing a technology solution to the current bandwidth dilemma, including a chip that decodes dozens of analog channels, reclaims bandwidth and empowers cable operators to expand their advanced services offerings,” said Danial Faizullabhoy, president and CEO of BroadLogic. “Being included on the AO100 list of top innovative private companies with demonstrated disruptive technology validates our efforts and places us in great company.”

AlwaysOn editors compiled the third annual AO100 list with assistance from KPMG's emerging business practice, KPMG VC Practice. The two groups surveyed more than 1,000 venture investors, investment bankers, and technology insiders, who in turn nominated more than 900 total companies. Each AO100 winner demonstrates leadership among its peers in at least two areas: market traction measured by revenue or customer growth, and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players. AO100 winning companies come from an array of technology sectors, including Consumer & Entertainment, Devices & Components, Enterprise, Mobile & Wireless, Network & Infrastructure, and Services & Enablers.

BroadLogic and other AO100 winners were formally announced on July 17th during a special evening reception at KPMG's Silicon Valley office in Mountain View. An additional AO100 awards and VIP reception is planned for July 31st at the Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center on the Stanford University campus, the opening night of AO's Innovations Summit.
