Ara T: Improving AI ROI with DSPs
By Henry Chen, Senior Director, Optical DSP Marketing, Marvell
In AI infrastructure, every electron matters.
That is the underlying principle behind Marvell® Ara T, the industry’s first 1.6T transmit-only (TRO) optical digital signal processor (DSP) for AI and cloud interconnects. Designed for high-bandwidth, mid-length links spanning 5 to 500 meters, Ara T can reduce optical power module power consumption by more than 35%, delivering meaningful savings at scale.
Ara T extends Marvell leadership in 1.6T optics and interconnect technology and advances the company's strategy to raise infrastructure ROI and efficiency through optimized silicon.
Marvell will showcase Ara T at OFC 2026 in Los Angeles, March 17–19.

Marvell Joins XPO MSA To Accelerate Innovation in AI Optical Modules
By Xi Wang, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Connectivity Business Unit, Marvell
Marvell has become a founding member of the eXtra dense Pluggable Optics (XPO) Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), an industry initiative organized by Arista Networks to define a new optical transceiver form factor purpose-built for AI-scale infrastructure.
The XPO concept is designed to dramatically increase bandwidth density by enabling liquid cooling at the module level. XPO modules are substantially larger in size than octal small form factor pluggable (OFSP) modules commonly deployed in today’s data centers, but they deliver a step-function increase in performance. Each XPO module integrates 64 lanes operating at 200 Gbps, eight times more than current pluggable modules for a total of 12.8 Tbps of bandwidth per module.1
This leap in bandwidth is enabled in part by an integrated cold plate that can deliver up to 400W of cooling per module. The combination of larger modules, significantly higher lane counts, and liquid cooling delivers a four-fold increase in bandwidth density for switches across scale-up, scale-out or scale-across network architecture.

Beyond the Specs: Finding Your Career Path
By Vinutha Thanuj, Senior Principal Engineer, Marvell
A new year brings time to reflect and plan what you are going to do differently. One of the key areas of reflection, for me, is about my career goals and aspirations for the next year.
I’ve always been focused on planning my career and finding the right path for me. Growing up, I was playing different types of sports, singing, and dancing, all with one goal in mind: to figure out what I enjoyed most. I always had the mindset that I didn’t have to be an expert in everything, but I should give it all a try. I loved having different hobbies and skills and learning new things.
