BARCELONA, Spain - Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL) Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL) today announced a collaboration with Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL), Fujitsu, and Wind River to develop Open RAN solutions for NTT DOCOMO's OREX RAN infrastructure. This joint effort has resulted in commercially available Open RAN offerings, which are expected to comprise a growing share of global RAN revenues.
Marvell's OCTEON 10 Fusion processors are at the core of the collaboration, designed to enhance 5G Layer 1 performance with a focus on power efficiency. The processors support massive MIMO beamforming and layer 1 acceleration, key to meeting NTT DOCOMO's stringent OREX RAN specifications.
Will Chu, Marvell's senior vice president, emphasized the role of the collaborative ecosystem in elevating Open RAN systems to match the power and functionality of traditional 5G RAN systems. Marvell's technology is expected to contribute to the efficiencies of cloud architecture in dense metropolitan areas, as highlighted by NTT DOCOMO's OREX evangelist, Sadayuki Abeta.
The collaboration underscores the industry's push towards Open RAN, with Dell Technologies, Fujitsu, and Wind River each playing a pivotal role. Dell's Open RAN Accelerator Card, powered by Marvell's processors, aims to deliver the advanced 5G capabilities demanded by network operators.
Fujitsu is leveraging the technology to enhance its 5G virtualized base stations, while Wind River has contributed its Wind River Studio to the NTT DOCOMO OREX RAN platform, offering a cloud-native architecture for distributed edge networks.
The Open RAN solutions are on display at MWC Barcelona 2024, indicating the readiness of these technologies for the market. This development aligns with a Dell'Oro Group report predicting an increase in Open RAN's share of worldwide RAN revenues to 20-30% by 2028, up from the current 7%-10%.
Marvell's partnership with its customers aims to transform enterprise, cloud, automotive, and carrier architectures, leveraging over 25 years of industry experience. This collaborative effort represents a significant step towards the flexible deployment of secure and robust 5G networks globally.
