-Craig J. Mathias, Principal, Farpoint Group
"When we first looked at Atheros' technology last year, we were impressed. Now that 802.11a products are almost here, we think Atheros is well-positioned to take advantage of what will certainly be the next step in the evolution of the wireless LAN - functional equivalence with wire."

-J. Gerry Purdy, Ph.D., President & CEO, Mobile Insights, Inc. Venture Partner, Diamondhead Ventures
"At Mobile Insights' recent Go Mobile conference in Orlando, 240 IT managers were asked how many would be interested in installing a system with Atheros 54Mbps wireless LAN technology, and nearly every one of the attendees raised their hand."

-Allen Nogee, Senior Analyst, Wireless Component Technology, Cahners In-Stat Group
"Atheros' impressive private placement is a ringing endorsement of an industry leader in a rapidly growing wireless market. The market opportunity for wireless companies is exploding, with a growing number of applications for the business and the home. Atheros will be very successful with its 802.11a offering, as it is the most inexpensive and compact solution out there."

-Wai Sing Lee, Analyst, Frost & Sullivan
"It's great to be at the leading edge as Atheros is, and have the first mover advantage. We should see some exciting things coming to market from its partners by the fall."

-Jason D. Smolek, Research Analyst, IDC
"Atheros is a hyper-growth company, and enterprises will go for .11a in a big way. The company will benefit a lot from its major head start. In addition, its recent funding puts it on a level playing field with older, more established competitors."

-Tony Massimini, Chief of Technology, SEMICO
"I want to be 'wireless-ing' my home with this very impressive technology. I'll wait for .11a if what Atheros is showing is a sign of what's possible there."
