Santa Clara, Calif. (July 28, 2017) – Marvell Corporation (NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in storage, networking and connectivity semiconductor solutions, announces the industry's first automotive-grade Gigabit Ethernet switch with security features , to provide a new level of new secure data transmission for next-generation interconnected vehicles. There are hundreds of computing applications in the car that require a robust, secure, in-vehicle network that makes Ethernet technology the first choice for automakers. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), and autonomous vehicles all rely on the internal network of the vehicle and an external network that communicates with other vehicles to transmit digital information. The new automotive-grade Ethernet switch is the latest addition to Marvell's portfolio of automotive-grade wired and wireless networking solutions designed to prevent malicious attacks and modifications to data transmitted in vehicles. These industry-leading security features ensure vehicle and The safety of its passengers is crucial.

Chris Koopmans, executive vice president of network and connectivity at Marvell, said: "The automotive industry is undergoing the most fundamental changes in history due to disruptive trends such as assisted and autonomous driving, electrification and connected cars. With our wired and With a portfolio of wireless automotive connectivity solutions, Marvell is paving the way for future car safety and high-bandwidth data transmission."

Ian Riches, an analyst at Strategy AnalyTIcs, commented: "As interconnected cars become more autonomous, the demand for data volumes and data transfer rates continues to grow, and vehicles are increasingly vulnerable to security breaches and new types of cyber attacks. Marvell's next-generation security-enabled automotive Gigabit Ethernet switches provide a secure hardware foundation for interconnected vehicles that will help protect the smart infrastructure from future cybercrime threats with advanced security features."

This highly secure Ethernet switch is specifically designed for the automotive industry's growing cybercrime risk and is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 and 802.11 standards. The new solution uses a deep packet inspection (DPI) engine and secure boot capability to ensure a higher level of security at the underlying hardware layer. The new switch also supports blacklist and whitelist addresses on all Ethernet ports to further enhance its security. To meet the industry's stringent standards and to withstand harsh automotive environments, the new Ethernet switches meet AEC-Q100 requirements. The new product is capable of supporting 100Mbps and 1Gbps interfaces with five integrated 100BASE-T1 transceiver interfaces for use with Marvell's previously announced 1000BASE-T1 PHY.

Samples are now available from Marvell, and new products are being evaluated by leading Tier 1 automotive suppliers.
