Corporate history
The company was founded in 1998 as a spin-off from RND, which was founded by brothers Yehuda and Zohar Zisapel. RND was also the product of a spin-off, from the Zisapel brothers' RAD Group. Eventually, RND was split into two companies - Radware and RADLAN.
The company is currently located in Tel Aviv's technological park called Kiryat Atidim (Hebrew: קריית עתידים).
In 2003, RADLAN was purchased by Marvell.
Yuval Cohen is the current CEO, replacing Jacob Zankel in late 2006.
Marvell take over
On February 2003, the Broadband circuit designer Marvell Technology Group, closed the deal to acquire RADLAN Computer Communications for $49.7 million in cash and shares.[1]
Sunnyvale-based Marvell said it would incorporate its mixed-signal ICs with RADLAN's networking infrastructure drivers, interfaces and software modules to make improved networking communications products like routers. Currently, Marvell's product lineup includes read channels (which convert analog data from a magnetic disk into digital data for computing), preamplifiers, and Ethernet switch controllers and transceivers. The Marvell company draws most of its sales from different hardware related customers, including Apple Inc., Seagate Technology, Cisco, DELL, Intel, etc.
The rename to MSSI
On May 2007 Radlan was officially renamed to MSSI (Marvell Software Solutions Israel), and by that completed the integration to the Marvell Technology Group family.[2]
