In this latest Broadband Pulse podcast, we talked to Nigel Alvares, Marvell's VP of global marketing and business planning.

During the podcast, we addressed the need to accommodate growing AI and other applications, and data center power and water consumption is poised to skyrocket.

Marvell has also been actively enhancing its product line to deal with the AI explosion.

During the September ECOC 2024 tradeshow, Marvell highlighted new product innovations like:

• Orion 800G coherent DSP for carrier and data center interconnect
• COLORZ® 800G ZR/ZR+ DCI optical modules with C-Band and L-Band support
• Nova 1.6T PAM4 DSP for AI and cloud connectivity

Dan Watts, CEO of US Signal, joined the Broadband Pulse podcast to discuss how the competitive business service provider enhances its cloud service reach through acquisitions and new product development.

One of US Signal's critical priorities for 2024 is integrating its earlier acquisition of One Neck, a data center provider from TDS Telecom. This acquisition enhances US Signal’s data center, cloud hosting, and solutions provider operations.

The provider is also actively enhancing its product set. It recently launched its Infrastructure-as-a-Service product, OpenCloud, an alternative response to the volatility in the cloud computing market, including provider shakeups and recent license price hikes.

What will tie all of US Signals ambitions together is its network assets. US Signal has a 9,500-mile-lit fiber network with access to over 225 data centers and POPs, Tier 1 peering relationships, and metro rings in strategic markets.
