SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Dec. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) today announced the industry's first
50Gbps PAM4 DSP and TIA chipset solution for 5G fronthaul, which
enables industry-leading performance for integrated radio access
networks (RAN), as well as Open (O-RAN) and virtualized (vRAN)
architectures. To meet growing 5G capacity demands, carriers are
seeking advanced fronthaul solutions that scale beyond 25G. The
Marvell® AtlasOne™ chipset, optimized for superior performance and
up to 25% lower power consumption1, is part of a
market-leading electro-optics portfolio that puts Marvell at the
forefront of this transition.
5G adoption is accelerating among consumers and expanding into
new enterprise and industrial markets. To prepare for the
anticipated surge in 5G traffic, carriers are upgrading radio
capacity with wider bandwidths – up to 200 MHz – and massive MIMO
technology with up to 64 transmit and receive antennas per Radio
Unit (RU). In order to realize these capacity gains, the
corresponding fronthaul bandwidth needs to be concurrently
increased to 50G, which is driving demand for the AtlasOne
platform.
O-RAN and vRAN architectures also amplify AtlasOne advantages.
O-RAN enables carriers to accelerate capacity upgrades by selecting
the best-in-class radio and fronthaul solutions from different
vendors as soon as the most advanced solutions become available.
With vRAN, baseband capacity instances can be aggregated in a
Distributed Unit (DU) and dynamically shared among multiple RUs.
When sufficient radio and fronthaul bandwidths are provisioned,
carriers can adaptively shift capacity towards unforeseen traffic
spikes to improve network efficiency and user experience. Together
with OEM partners, Marvell's combination of industry-leading
AtlasOne fronthaul, widely deployed OCTEON Fusion® RAN
silicon, Prestera® switches and Alaska® Ethernet PHYs, are helping
operators push the envelope of 5G network performance.
"We're proud to introduce the AtlasOne chipset, a robust,
high-performance solution that is helping to make 50G a reality in
5G infrastructure," said Xi Wang, VP
Product Marketing, Optical Connectivity at Marvell. "With this
latest addition to our portfolio, we offer telecom carriers access
to the same trusted solutions that Marvell has successfully
delivered to top hyperscale data center operators."
"Fueled by burgeoning 5G adoption and Internet traffic growth,
advances in both radio unit capabilities and system architecture
are accentuating the importance of high-speed data interconnect,
particularly at the edge, where network efficiency and scalability
can be greatly enhanced with new virtualized architectures," said
Stéphane Téral, Chief Analyst, LightCounting. "With Marvell's
extensive end-to-end RAN experience, its new AtlasOne chipset is
well-positioned to become an essential ingredient for the most
advanced 5G networks."
Marvell AtlasOne chipset includes:
- Marvell's industry-leading PAM4 digital core for optimal
performance across a range of applications.
- Marvell's companion IN5662 TIA to deliver remarkable linearity
while maintaining ultra-low noise and power.
- The industry's first PAM4 DSP integrated Direct Modulated Laser
driver in mainstream CMOS technology.
- Industrial temperature range support for 5G fronthaul
applications.
