Marvell and Analog Devices Announce Collaboration for Highly Integrated 5G Radio Solutions

“Marvell is pleased to collaborate with ADI in addressing a significant opportunity in the next wave of 5G network architectures,” said Matt Murphy, president and CEO of Marvell.  “Marvell’s leadership in baseband, digital ASIC and transport processors combined with ADI’s RF transceiver technology creates an industry-leading architecture for 5G OEMs looking to accelerate time-to-market.”

The increased complexity of 5G RUs driven both by massive MIMO deployments and mmWave spectrum requirements present unique challenges to RF and radio network designs.  Optimized partitioning of RF and mixed signal technology with both digital ASIC and baseband silicon will be necessary to achieve the low power, size and cost requirements for 5G.  The combination of Marvell and ADI’s best-in-class technologies enables highly optimized RU designs enabling both standard and customized implementations.

“ADI has consistently been at the forefront of cellular radio technology,” said Vincent Roche, president and CEO of Analog Devices.  “We see tremendous opportunity in our collaboration with Marvell to optimize the 5G RF and digital chain for the benefit of our common customers.  The solutions we are developing in conjunction with Marvell will allow our customers to build highly optimized, high performance products for this dynamic market.”
