SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Marvell(R) (NASDAQ: MRVL), a technology leader in the development of extreme broadband communications solutions, today announced the industry's first single-chip integrated SOHO gateway router solutions to reach full-wire-speed 100 Mbps WAN/LAN routing, which passes the FCC Class B EMI conformance test. Marvell is the first to implement this highly integrated gateway router design on a 2-layer PCB, achieving the most cost-effective form factor ready for manufacturing. The Marvell Link Street(TM) 88E6208 and 88E6218 SOHO gateway router devices allow OEM customers to expand their product offerings, addressing a worldwide home networking and residential gateway market expected to reach $5.7 billion by 2004, according to Cahners In-Stat Group. The Marvell Link Street 88E6208 and 88E6218 gateway routers provide single chip integration, integrating the Company's Link Street 6-port Fast Ethernet (FE) switch to enhance network reliability, an ARM9 CPU to increase processing speed and a software architecture for enhanced routing performance. The Marvell Link Street devices also leverage the Company's newest generation 0.15-micron PHY transceiver technology, which interfaces the chip to external cables. The Marvell PHYs incorporate Virtual Cable Tester(TM) (VCT) technology, which provides built-in cable diagnostic testing capability, quickly resolving cable problems and decreasing downtime."While gateway router OEMs previously had to make a choice between performance and cost-effectiveness, the Marvell solution incorporates both requirements," stated Benjamin Niu, Marvell's Product Marketing Manager for SOHO Gateway Routers and Switches. "With the Link Street devices, Marvell provides full-wire-speed routing and the lowest system cost implementation, enabling OEMs fast entry into the rapidly-growing SOHO networking market. In addition, the Link Street gateway routers achieve extremely low power consumption, providing OEMs with a complete gateway router design that runs much cooler and achieves a longer life span, resulting in higher reliability."
