Marvell to Showcase Industry-First 2nm Optical Tech Demos for AI Data Centers at ECOC 2026

6T ZR and O-band coherent-lite technologies. Enabling AI infrastructure scaling: Marvell advanced optical and silicon design leverages leading-edge process nodes to deliver the improvements in performance, bandwidth density and power critical to scaling AI infrastructure efficiently. Innovation on display at ECOC: Marvell to showcase the breadth of its comprehensive AI infrastructure portfolio through 38 advanced technology demos. 4T co-packaged optics (CPO) platform, alongside additional demos developed with its partner ecosystem.

Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today announced industry-first 2nm optical interconnect demonstrations that advance the next generation of AI data center connectivity. The technologies will be showcased at the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) 2026, September 20—24, 2026, in Málaga, Spain, underscoring how Marvell continually delivers new waves of advanced connectivity solutions to scale AI infrastructure. 2T and beyond, operators require faster, lower-power and more secure optical interconnects to serve AI scale-up, scale-out and scale-across domains.

Increasing bandwidth density while reducing power per bit has become critical to scaling AI infrastructure efficiently. 6T Ara platform in 2024 and the 2nm 800G Libra DSPs announced earlier this year—today Marvell is extending its portfolio of industry-leading 2nm connectivity solutions, including optical PAM4, coherent-lite PAM4/IMDD and ZR/ZR+ coherent solutions in the 2nm node. These technologies are optimized to enable ultra-high-speed interconnects that deliver faster communication between XPUs, CPUs, accelerators, and memory resources and improve energy efficiency to help data center operators manage the ever-increasing power demands of large AI deployments.

2T data center connectivity. First live demonstration of 2nm 800G ZR/ZR+ with MACsec: Powered by the Marvell Libra 2nm coherent DSP ( ), the 800G ZR/ZR+ OSFP pluggable integrates media access control security (MACsec), expanding the company’s extensive coherent DSP and Marvell COLORZ® pluggable portfolios, delivering efficient, high-performance and secure optical transmission for hyperscale AI and cloud data center networks worldwide. 2T connectivity. Advanced CPO technology for next-generation AI fabrics: The Marvell CPO platform integrates optics directly with AI accelerators and switch silicon, as per-lane speeds and multi-rack AI pods push past copper’s reach limits.

4 Tbps with 200G-per-lane silicon photonics, the platform delivers the bandwidth density and power efficiency needed to scale AI fabrics. “AI data center operators need optical interconnect technologies that deliver higher bandwidth, lower power and greater security across every part of the network,” said Xi Wang, senior vice president and general manager, Connectivity Business Unit at Marvell. ” Marvell Executive Presentations and Booth Demos at ECOC 2026 Marvell executives will also participate in presentations and panels on optical connectivity for next-generation AI data center infrastructure.

This includes a fireside chat on new and emerging optical technologies with Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Connectivity Business Group Xi Wang, and sessions by several other Marvell experts. 6T optics to coherent interconnects and optical memory fabrics.
