[{"type":"text","content":"5nm Marvell® Orion™ coherent DSP enables carriers and clouds to replace traditional transport equipment for better scalability and TCO.With 2x bandwidth over current coherent DSPs for pluggable modules, Orion increases the performance and reach of pluggable module-based connections to up to ~2,000 km. Orion expands the opportunity to deploy coherent DSP-based modules in more use cases, including 800 Gbps metro networks, 600 Gbps regional networks, 400 Gbps long-haul networks and 800 Gbps data center interconnects.SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today announced Orion—the industry's first 800 Gbps coherent digital signal processor (DSP) for pluggable modules—to change the economics and performance of the transport networks connecting carrier and cloud assets over extended geographic areas.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nDelivering 2x the maximum bandwidth over today's leading solutions while staying within the stringent thermal and electrical limits of pluggable modules, Orion gives carriers and cloud service providers the opportunity to shift from building transport networks with traditional optical transport networking transmission equipment to designing networks around streamlined, scalable architectures built on merchant routers, integrated optical modules and other technologies for a lower total cost of ownership.\nOrion-based pluggable modules are expected to deliver up to 75% in capex and opex savings over traditional transport equipment for popular carrier use cases such as metro networks1. Orion-based modules are also expected to provide 30% lower cost and power per bit compared to currently available pluggable modules2.\nSpanning a wider range of transport lengths and bandwidth capacities, Orion increases the performance of pluggable modules across multiple use cases, including:\nMetro network connections (~500km) delivering 800 Gbps per wavelength, 2x the bandwidth of current state-of-the art pluggable modules.600 Gbps regional network connections (~1,200km) for core networks built around standards-based modules and routers based on IP over DWDM (IPoDWDM) to reduce cost and complexity of infrastructure.400 Gbps long-haul connections (up to ~2,000km) in traditional or IPoDWDM networks.800 Gbps (~500km) and 600 ...
