 Broadband Access Systems of Westborough, MA developed a carrier-class cable modem termination system that allows network providers to successfully deliver high-speed data, voice and video services to very large numbers of cable subscribers. With the rapid growth of cable usage comes increased demand for faster and higher quality connections. SRF's Saalfield was the first institutional investor in this company. The Fund received liquidity in its investment in Broadband Access as a result of the company's acquisition in September 2000 by ADC Telecom for $2.25 billion. SRF had a 49x return on this investment.
