Marvell Awarded 2002 Product of the Year For Its Prestera™ Gigabit Ethernet Switch Family

Sunnyvale, California (February 10, 2003) — Marvell^® (NASDAQ: MRVL), a technology leader in the development of extreme broadband communications and storage solutions, was recently honored with product of the year for the Company’s Prestera™ Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch family as chosen by analogZONE, a leading resource for the semiconductor industry.  The Marvell Prestera GbE switch was selected in the LAN/enterprise/access category for its ability to provide exceptional enterprise switching and routing performance with industry-leading features, thus accelerating Gigabit to the desktop based on an outstanding price to performance ratio.

“Making the award for this category was very difficult since several vendors introduced some really exceptional products during 2002,” said Lee Goldberg, Senior Editor at analogZONE.  “Marvell took the honors because of its combination of a versatile, scalable architecture, and a family of ICs that can be used in a wide range of cost-effective networking products capable of hitting multiple sweet spots in the market,” he continued.  “For example, the recent addition of the crossbar switch fabric with integrated Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES) to the Marvell Prestera family should add significantly to the architecture’s scalability and let designers leverage their existing development efforts to address markets requiring high-density, high-reliability chassis-based equipment.  This, and an array of excellent development tools from both Marvell and third-party vendors, distinguishes Marvell’s offering from some extremely worthy competition.”

“We are honored to be recognized by analogZONE, a valuable source of information and insight into the best technologies and practices in the semiconductor industry.  Marvell’s contributions to the engineering field have been well-documented, and analogZONE’s recognition of our industry-leading Prestera Gigabit Ethernet switching technology, which scales from Gigabit to the desktop to terabit routing, is further compelling testimony to our ability to solve complex problems for enterprise and Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs),” stated Weili Dai, Marvell’s Executive Vice President and General Manager for the Communications Business Group.  “With our ‘brain-trust’ of engineering and design expertise, our customers have consistently indicated that we have provided the gold standard in broadband communications solutions for the switching, transceiver, wireless, PC connectivity, communications controller, and storage markets.” 

“At analogZONE, we selected products for this year’s awards with specific emphasis on the product’s performance, anticipated market success and likely contribution to the field of engineering and product design,” stated Paul McGoldrick, Editor-in-Chief of analogZONE.  “I’m pleased we have such a good example of a product that met with our strict criteria.”
