BARCELONA, Spain and SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor
solutions, today announced it has collaborated with leading
companies to develop Open RAN solutions for use in NTT DOCOMO's
OREX RAN infrastructure. Together, Marvell, Dell Technologies,
Fujitsu and Wind River have combined critical silicon, system and
software expertise to create Open RAN offerings that are
commercially available to NTT DOCOMO and other carriers. Open RAN
is set to account for 20-30% of worldwide RAN revenues by 2028, up
from 7%-10% in 2024, according to a February
2024 report by Dell'Oro Group1.
Marvell develops silicon for data infrastructure, bringing to
market highly specialized chips for improving the performance of
backbone systems. The Marvell OCTEON 10 Fusion
processors perform the highly demanding massive MIMO
beamforming tasks concentrated in the radio unit and layer 1
acceleration in the Distributed Unit.
OCTEON® 10 is a family of processors
optimized for different applications and use cases, including RAN
networks, enterprise networks and cloud data centers. OCTEON 10
Fusion contains additional digital signal processors for radio
performance, a unique neural processing unit for conducting AI
inferencing in real-time with network data, and high-performance
Arm® Neoverse™ N2 processors. This optimized
approach to design reduces power and increases performance per watt
in wireless networks.
"By working in a collaborative ecosystem, Marvell is helping
raise the performance of Open RAN systems, striving for power,
functionality and features on par with traditional 5G RAN systems,"
said Will Chu, senior vice president
and general manager, Custom, Compute and Storage Group at Marvell.
"The fourth generation of Marvell OCTEON 10 technology meets the
demanding requirements of NTT DOCOMO's OREX RAN specifications.
We're excited to move the Open RAN market forward alongside NTT
DOCOMO, Dell Technologies, Fujitsu and Wind River."
"The characteristics of a dense metropolitan area like
Tokyo allow us to realize the
efficiencies of the cloud architecture. The Marvell solution
uniquely blends the optimized accelerators prevalent in today's
deployments into the cloud environment," said Sadayuki Abeta, OREX evangelist and global head
of Open RAN Solutions at NTT DOCOMO.
"Industry collaboration is essential to the expansion of Open
RAN and this technology ecosystem provides the performance and cost
efficiency required by NTT DOCOMO," said Andrew Vaz, vice president, product management,
Telecom Systems Business, at Dell Technologies. "Marvell's OCTEON
10 processors extend the performance and features of the Dell Open
RAN Accelerator Card to deliver advanced 5G capabilities that
network operators demand."
"Marvell OCTEON technology will enable us to further advance our
5G virtualized base station by adding powerful solutions such as
LTE and millimeter wave for 5G functionality. Through our
collaboration with Marvell, Fujitsu is committed to developing a
mobile solution based on an open network architecture, helping
service providers to accelerate the flexible deployment of the
robust and secure 5G networks around the globe," said Masaki Taniguchi, senior vice president, head of
Mobile System Business Unit at Fujitsu.
"Wind River is honored to work with Marvell, NTT DOCOMO, Dell
Technologies, and Fujitsu. A collaborative ecosystem is critical to
delivering O-RAN solutions to market. Wind River has contributed
Wind River Studio, a proven solution with global service providers
and a key piece of the Open RAN stack, to be a part of the NTT
DOCOMO OREX RAN platform. Wind River Studio delivers a fully
cloud-native, Kubernetes- and container-based architecture for the
development, deployment, operations, and servicing of distributed
edge networks at scale," said Paul
Miller, Chief Technology Officer at Wind River. "We look
forward to our ongoing collaboration with Marvell."
