The company's customers include Apple, Dell, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Hon Hai Precision Industry (19% of sales), IBM, Microsoft, QUALCOMM, Sony, and Toshiba. The fabless semiconductor company was started by faculty members from Stanford and Berkeley. Nearly all of Atheros' sales are to customers in Asia, principally in Taiwan and China.
