BARCELONA, Spain and
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell
(NASDAQ:MRVL), a leader in infrastructure semiconductor solutions,
today announced with Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the
expansion of a long-term partnership for enabling leading wireless
infrastructure networks. Samsung and Marvell are
collaborating on the development and launch of multiple generations
of radio and control plane processors for both LTE and 5G NR,
enabling carriers to deploy multi-radio access technology in order
to meet the ever-increasing data usage of today's users and
emerging applications.
The demands of next-generation networks require a comprehensive
and integrated technology approach that adapts to the high data
rates, near zero latency and increased density inherent in the new
standards. Additionally, the need to support legacy LTE and
LTE-A operation simultaneously with 5G NR is essential for
cost-efficient deployments. LTE-A Rel 14 and 5G NR also
enable many new use cases including smart cities, automated
factories, telemedicine, IoT and virtual reality.
"Samsung is committed to driving the next wave of 5G innovation
by working together with key industry players including Marvell,"
said Jaeho Jeon, executive vice
president and head of R&D, Networks Business at Samsung
Electronics. "Leveraging expertise in LTE and 5G
commercialization, we will continue to explore the potential of the
advanced technologies to push beyond the limits of today's new
radio technologies."
"Marvell is honored to partner with
Samsung in delivering innovative technology to power the
next wave of intelligent connectivity for 5G networks," said
Raghib Hussain, chief strategy officer and executive vice
president of the Networking and Processors Group at
