Highly integrated, power efficient coherent DSP solutions

Marvell offers a portfolio of coherent DSPs that are critical enablers for efficient transmission over fiber optical networks. Marvell solutions are shipping into top major hyperscale and telecom networks worldwide, providing unmatched leadership in the design, test, and volume manufacturing of high-performance coherent DSPs.

Orion™

Orion is the industry’s first 800 Gbps coherent DSP for pluggable modules. Produced on 5nm manufacturing technology and supported by an ecosystem of module producers, Orion enables carriers and cloud providers to replace dedicated transport boxes with ZR/ZR+ and other standards-based modules to dramatically reduce cost, power consumption, and complexity of connections up to 2,000km in length. Compatible with multiple optical technologies and form factors, Orion can be used for high density IP over DWDM solutions, multi-rate long haul and metro networks, and data center interconnects. 

  • Industry’s first 800 Gbps coherent DSP for pluggable modules
  • Enables QSFP-DD, OSFP and CFP2-DCO coherent pluggable modules
  • Capable of delivering 800 Gbps for metro (~500km), 600 Gbps for regional (~1,200km), and 400 Gbps (~2,000km) for long-haul telecommunications networks. 
  • Delivers 800 Gbps for metro DCI (~10km to ~500km) and up to 600 Gbps for regional DCI (up to ~1,200km)
  • Adopted by leading module vendors

Canopus™

The Canopus coherent DSP is the industry’s first merchant 7nm coherent DSP enabling 400G ZR/ZR+ pluggable optical modules used directly in switch and router platforms for high density IP over DWDM solutions. Targeted for data center interconnects (DCIs) as well as multi-rate long haul and metro networks, operator equipment based on the Canopus DSP offers the same port density on the coherent interfaces as client ports with capacities of up to 14.4 Tb/s per rack unit (RU). This eliminates the need for dedicated cloud transport boxes for DCI networks, and consequently, reduces the cost and power dissipation by more than 50%.

  • Industry’s first merchant 7nm 400G coherent DSP for ZR/ZR+
  • Enables QSFP-DD, OSFP and CFP2-DCO coherent pluggable modules
  • Broad ecosystem of module suppliers
  • Multi-rate 400G / 200G/ 100G operation
  • Shipping production volumes

Deneb™

The Deneb coherent DSP compliments the market-leading 400G Canopus coherent DSP utilizing the same 7nm high-performance and low-power architecture while adding support for newly formed ITU/OpenROADM and open ZR+ standards.  The Deneb coherent DSP also enables next-generation 5G access backhaul networks with multi-rate 100G support over the extended Industrial Temperature (I-temp) specification. Both Deneb and Canopus utilize the same BGA package dimensions providing flexibility to equipment designers addressing multiple end markets with quicker time-to-market.

  • Compliments the market-leading Canopus™ 7nm 400G coherent DSP for ZR/ZR+
  • Expands ecosystem to open standards compliant solutions for mutli-vendor DSP interoperability
  • Supports ITU/OpenROADM and open ZR+ standards
  • 5G access backhaul 100G networks with industrial temperature (I-temp)
  • Enables QSFP-DD, OSFP and CFP2-DCO coherent pluggable modules
  • High-performance FEC and probabilistic shaping
  • Multi-rate 400G / 200G/ 100G operation-sampling
