Munich, Germany-based Lantiq makes chips for both wireless and wired platforms including DSL and Wi-Fi and LTE. The company is a spinoff of Infineon Technologies' wireline division that was formed in 2009 when Infineon sold its wireline division to equity investor Golden Gate Capital. The company appointed Dan Artusi as its new CEO in 2012.
Moloney currently serves as executive partner at Siris Capital and is a member of TiVo's (Nasdaq: TIVO) board of directors.
Moloney headed up Motorola's Mobility Division when it was formed in 2011 and left the firm after it was acquired by Google (NASDAQ:GOOG). Prior to that he was president of Motorola's Home & Networks Mobility business from 2006 to 2011. He was credited with expanding the company's video and broadband wireless business.
"Lantiq is an incredibly interesting company that is well positioned as a leading semiconductor player in the expanding broadband communications industry," Moloney said in a statement.
