Marvell to Showcase Industry-leading, End-to-End Connectivity Solutions for AI Data Center Infrastructure at OFC 2026

Key Terms

serdes technical

SerDes (short for serializer/deserializer) is an electronic function that converts parallel streams of data into a single fast serial stream and then converts it back, like packing many lanes of traffic into one high-speed highway and unpacking them at the other end. Investors care because SerDes chips and blocks determine how quickly and efficiently devices, data centers and networks can move information; improvements or bottlenecks affect product performance, production costs, and demand across the semiconductor and communications supply chain.

pcie 8.0 technical

PCIe 8.0 is the latest generation of the PCI Express standard, the high-speed electrical 'roadway' used to link core components like processors, graphics cards, storage drives and networking cards inside computers and servers. Higher bandwidth and lower delay mean devices can move much more data at once — like widening and speeding up a highway — which can boost performance for data-heavy applications and influence product competitiveness, upgrade cycles and capital spending decisions.

cxl technical

An abbreviation for “cancel” or “canceled,” used in brief notices to indicate that an event, order, meeting, dividend, or other planned action will no longer take place. Investors care because cancellations can change expected cash flows, timing of corporate actions, trading volume or regulatory filings—similar to someone calling off a planned event, which can alter plans and prompt reassessment of value or risk.

pam4 technical

PAM4 is a digital signaling method that sends information by using four distinct voltage or light levels instead of the usual two, letting each transmitted symbol carry two bits of data. Think of it like a radio knob with four clear positions instead of just on/off; it boosts transmission speed without needing extra wires or spectrum but is harder to read reliably, so it matters to investors because it drives demand for higher-performance chips, better cables and optics, and can affect product costs, margins and upgrade cycles in networking and data-center markets.

dsp technical

A demand-side platform (DSP) is software that automates buying digital advertising space across websites, apps and video, letting marketers bid for and place ads in real time. Think of it as a smart shopper that compares many stores at once to find the best price and audience for each ad. Investors watch DSPs because their reach, pricing efficiency, data access and compliance with privacy rules directly affect revenue growth, margins and competitive position in ad-driven businesses.

Over 100 Marvell and Ecosystem Partner Technology Demos and High-profile Executive Presentations Underscore Marvell Position as a Driving Force in Next-gen AI Infrastructure

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today announced it will showcase the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio of AI data center connectivity solutions at OFC 2026—March 15 to 19 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California.

As AI infrastructure scales exponentially, connectivity has become the primary bottleneck of modern hyperscale and cloud data centers, and new, dedicated semiconductor interconnect solutions are required to address the increasing performance, power, design, security and application-specific challenges.

With an unmatched breadth and depth of expertise and a comprehensive connectivity portfolio—including advanced SerDes and die-to-die technology, industry-first DSPs, drivers and TIAs, DCI modules, data center switches and advanced telemetry capabilities—Marvell is uniquely positioned to provide customers with the performance, power efficiency and design flexibility required to keep up with the explosive growth of next-generation AI data centers.

At OFC 2026 (Booth #1600), Marvell will showcase more than 20 demos, highlighting the latest advances in its end-to-end data center connectivity portfolio for scale-up, scale-out and scale-across applications, including:

• 40G die-to-die: Marvell 3nm die-to-die (D2D) IP provides the required power-, latency- and error-efficient access needed for on-package D2D connections, including HBM.
• PCIe^® 8.0 SerDes: Marvell PCIe 8.0 SerDes running at 256 gigatransfers-per-second (GT/s) enables hyperscalers' transition to next-generation, high-bandwidth and low-latency connections to external resources.
• CXL solutions: Marvell® Structera^™ CXL-based near-memory acceleration and memory expansion enables optimal compute and memory scaling to maximize performance and address sustainability.
• 1.6T transmit-retimed optics: The Marvell Ara T DSP is the first 8x200G transmit-retimed optics (TRO) PAM4 DSP, offering significant generational performance gains and power savings over fully retimed optics (FRO).
• 200G/lambda 1.6T PAM4 optical interconnect: Marvell Ara DSP is the industry’s first 3nm 1.6T PAM4 optical DSP featuring 200 Gbps electrical and optical interfaces for AI scale out.
• Marvell Photonic Fabric™ technology platform: The platform enables multi-rack optical scale up to meet the reach, bandwidth, latency and energy demands of next-generation AI clusters.
• UEC-ready data center switch: Marvell Teralynx^® switch silicon delivers AI workload traffic optimization at 800GE, trimming-based congestion management and support for UET and PoCEv2 payloads in a multi-tenant environment.
• C- and L-band 800G ZR/ZR+ pluggable optics: Marvell COLORZ^® pluggable optics significantly reduce DCI capital costs compared to traditional OTN systems.
• Interconnect telemetry platform: The Marvell RELIANT^™ end-to-end telemetry, analytics and intelligence platform provides real-time visibility, predictive insight, and automated optimization across the Marvell connectivity portfolio.

In addition, across the OFC exhibit hall, the vast ecosystem of Marvell technology partners will offer more than 80 demos powered by Marvell devices and technologies, underscoring the pivotal role Marvell is playing in driving the next evolution in AI infrastructure innovation.
