Marvell at the Mojo for AI Optical Interconnect
By using a grid of micro-LEDs instead of lasers, Mojo delivers 100x more bandwidth/channel and lower energy/bit. Mojo’s fiber has thousands of physically discrete channels for massively multiplexed bandwidth + redundancy for reliability in orbital data centers. Today, Marvell announced their long-term partnership with Mojo to develop a new class of optical interconnect solutions for… Read More
