Marvell Technology announced its 1.6T optical platform, launching the industry’s first 1.6T ZR/ZR+ pluggable module for DCI. The company is using 2nm technology and targeting both of the identified 1600ZR modes. The company also announced a 2nm version of its 800ZR solution to address missing OpenROADM support.
The size of the pluggable coherent market is massive but increasingly competitive. Maintaining leadership requires power efficiency, critical features and high-volume manufacturability. Marvell has a proven track record of consistently delivering first-to-market advancements across multiple generations of coherent DSPs, and the company’s move to 2nm solutions underscores its commitment to density, performance and power.
