Marvell to Showcase Cloud-Optimized Silicon Solutions at OFC 2022
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Mar. 7, 2022 – Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) today announced the details of its participation at the 2022 Optical Networking and Communication (OFC) Conference, the premier event in telco and data center optics for optical communications and networking professionals.
When:
OFC 2022 will be held March 6-10, 2022.
Where:
Marvell will be in booth #2301, located in the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego.
Demonstrations:
Visit Marvell’s booth to see the latest demonstration of its first-generation co-packaged optics (CPO) technology platform that will showcase the Marvell® Teralynx® switch platform along with Marvell CPO electro-optics, integrated into a standard 1 rack-unit (RU) 32 port optical switch. The demonstration is the foundation for Marvell’s future 3.2T CPO platform for the 51.2T switch generation. The demonstration will also highlight laser integration into the CPO platform and ODM integration to support ecosystem readiness. Marvell’s support for standards-based solutions and an open ecosystem approach for switch and optics integration and interoperability is key to these developments.
Marvell will also be demonstrating its cutting-edge PAM4 DSPs that are driving high-speed connectivity both between and inside data centers and carrier networks. Marvell will showcase its 400G/800G PAM4 DSPs, including the newly announced Alaska® A PAM4 DSP for active electrical cables (AECs) and 800G multimode electro-optics platform for short-reach optical modules and active optical cables (AOCs). Marvell’s latest Coherent DSPs, data center interconnect (DCI) modules, switch and PHY solutions will also be shown. Additional demonstrations of Marvell’s 400ZR technology will take place in the Ethernet Alliance (EA) Booth #5409. At the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) Booth #5101, the Marvell COLORZ® II 400ZR module and Alaska C 1.6T Retimer/Gearbox PHY in 5nm with 112G PAM4 LR SerDes technology will be demonstrated
