Prnewswireยท 2025-03-31 13:00
Core Viewpoint - Marvell Technology, Inc. has developed the industry's first 400G/lane technology, which is expected to revolutionize network connectivity and significantly enhance bandwidth capacity for cloud data centers, particularly in AI applications [1][3]. Group 1: Technology Development - Marvell will showcase its 400G/lane technology at OFC 2025, demonstrating a complete electrical to optical link operating at 224 Gbaud, a feat previously deemed impossible [1]. - The 400G/lane technology represents a 4x increase over the current mainstream 100G/lane infrastructure and a 2x increase over the 200G/lane infrastructure being deployed this year [3]. Group 2: Industry Collaboration - Marvell is collaborating with leading optical and switch companies, including Lumentum and TeraHop, to create an ecosystem for developing products based on the new 400G/lane technology [2][5]. - The collaboration aims to ensure that customers have the necessary fabric technology to support AI and cloud infrastructure, with a focus on the next generation of 3.2T transceivers [4]. Group 3: Market Impact - The introduction of 400G/lane technology is expected to maximize output and enhance the efficiency of future data centers, thereby shortening the time required for AI training and other complex tasks [3]. - Pluggable transceiver modules are projected to remain the dominant solution for optical connectivity in data centers through 2030, indicating a stable market for this technology [4].
