It has been an active year for GigE PHY players. This deal comes four months after Agere Systems Inc. (NYSE: AGR.A) purchased Dublin-based GigE PHY vendor Massana for about $26.2 million in common stock (see Agere Goes Gaga Over Gig-E).

(AMCC) (Nasdaq: AMCC) acquired Cicada's T2 line interface unit (LIU) in the first half of the year for an undisclosed price (see AMCC Snacks on Cicada Scraps).
