Marvell Wireless Technologies
Multifunction Radio
Marvell’s single-chip multi-function radios implement two or more radios on a single die, allowing manufacturers to find technical rhythm amongst various combinations—Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM—resulting in higher performance and improved functionality in a smaller footprint.
Wi-Fi
Leading the marketplace in power efficiency and technical architecture, Marvell Wi-Fi products consume less power than the competition; effectively doubling battery life associated with Wi-Fi. One hundred percent of Marvell's 802.11 Wi-Fi implementations run on a low-power ARM SoC, relieving the primary system application processor of the burden associated with running the 802.11 MAC.
Bluetooth
Marvell Bluetooth audio solutions for voice and streaming music are crystal clear when used alone or concurrently with Wi-Fi and FM. Today our products support the latest Bluetooth Low Energy specification enabling the next generation of Bluetooth connected products.
FM
Marvell IP allows for the integration of FM into smaller, more power-efficient, multi-radio products—making radio more portable and personal than ever before. For manufacturers, Marvell's FM technology combines ease-of-use programming with a cost-effective solution, creating the necessary building blocks for future advancements in manufacturing and design.
