eet over existing copper infrastructure. The chipsets support multiple high=

Ethernet(TM) (LRFE), Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM), and Very High Bit Ra=
te Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL-DMT). Venkatesh is an entrepreneur, exec=
utive, and investor who serves on the boards of several technology companie=
s. Most recently, he was vice president of switching products at Broadcom C=
orp. Venkatesh previously was president and CEO of Maverick Networks, which=

er and a senior executive officer. "I joined Ikanos' board because the co=
mpany has great technology, excellent products, and really smart people, se=

" said Venkatesh. "Now Ikanos is at a significant junction in its growth, a=
nd I can support the company by helping it to grow to the next phase of cus=
tomer acquisition." "Because its chipsets are standards based, Ikanos has=
the potential to dominate the market for broadband-over-copper solutions,"=
said Venkatesh. "The company will thus play an important role in bringing =
high-speed access to small and medium-sized businesses and homes. I expect =
that the markets Ikanos targets -- Multi-Tenant/Multi-Dwelling Units, Metro=
Fiber Extension, and Long Range Ethernet -- will be as big or bigger than =
the enterprise networking market." "Ikanos is thrilled to have Ven join t=
he board. He has the kind of experience that Ikanos can benefit from at thi=
