BroadLight is a fabless semiconductor company which designs, manufactures and markets Fiber Access and embedded processors System-on-a-chip (SoC). Founded in 2000¹ by Ran Dror, David Levi, Haim Ben Amram, Didi Ivancovsky and Raanan Ivry, it is headquartered in Herzeliya, Israel with offices in the United States, China, Taiwan and Korea.

BroadLight predicted that the fiber-to-the-home market would outpace xDSL copper broadband installations² and that the market would require and benefit from highly integrated Fiber Access semiconductor SoC. The company was recognized to achieve significant market share³⁴ and an established top-tier customer position⁵

Since 2004 BroadLight has been awarded multiple patents⁶ in the area of fiber access and CPE network processing.

In April 2012 Broadcom Corporation acquired⁷⁸ BroadLight for $230M in a cash transaction.
