Marvell at Mobile World Congress

Marvell's latest technologies will be showcased at Mobile World Congress, being held Feb. 27 - March 1, 2012, at Fira Montjuic in Barcelona. To see demonstrations and learn more, show attendees and media can visit the Marvell booth, AV55, located in the Hall Avenue. New products and demonstrations include:

    --  Global Mobility Solutions: True global mobility is impossible without
        the ability to connect from anywhere in the world from a single device.
        With the proliferation of various global broadband standards that differ
        from region-to-region, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) need
        turn-key mobile solutions that provide seamless global connectivity
        without sacrificing performance or power. At MWC, Marvell will be
        announcing a number of industry-first mobile technologies that we
        believe will drive the next-generation of mobile devices - powerful,
        efficient and, most importantly, seamlessly connected and unrestricted
        by geographic barriers. Marvell - a long-time leader in driving the LTE
        standard forward in China through its collaboration with the Chinese
        government, telecoms and OEMs - will also announce new TD solutions that
        will drastically increase the time-to-market and lower the cost of new
        devices for the Asia Pacific Region (APAC).
Based on the Kinoma® platform, an innovative, elegant open-source mobile software platform, Marvell continues to provide complete silicon solutions that enable simple user experiences for an unprecedented range of mobile devices. Marvell will also highlight its significant momentum in emerging markets with a number of new TD-SCDMA handset design wins.

    --  Wireless Connectivity Technology: Superior wireless technology is the
        crux of Marvell's mobility platform; its low-power Avastar(TM) wireless
        portfolio enables faster, more reliable connectivity and features
        cutting edge technology that supports new use cases necessitated by the
        burgeoning mobile industry. At MWC, Marvell is announcing significant
        upgrades to its single chip combination radio portfolio - including
        802.11ac, near field communications (NFC) and location based services -
        that is intended to reduce footprint and cost while increasing
        performance and offering advanced wireless capabilities to a broad range
        of consumer products. It will also showcase its Wi-Fi Display
        technology, a standards-based mechanism for reliable, peer-to-peer,
        1080p high-definition (HD) video and audio streaming between wireless
        devices and high definition displays and set top boxes. By enabling
        consumers to mirror the display from a mobile device onto a larger
        screen in real-time, consumers can seamlessly move and view content
        among various devices, anytime, anywhere.

    --  Mobile Printing: As a leader in Wi-Fi, mobile handset solutions and
        printing, Marvell seamlessly integrates printing into the mobile
        experience. At MWC, Marvell is announcing mobile printing support for
        key mobile architectures, including Wi-Fi Direct printing, which is
        intended to give consumers the simple, seamless ability to print on the
        go.

    --  Digital Entertainment: The pervasiveness of mobile technology goes
        beyond smartphones and tablets - the seamlessly connected lifestyle has
        influenced the way consumers interact with technology at home, in the
        office and on-the-go. Marvell will demonstrate its ARMADA® 1500-based
        "Foresight Platform," which has been designed into the new Google TV,
        offering an exceptional television and multimedia experience for the
        next generation of Smart TVs, set-top boxes, Blu-ray players and beyond.
        From HD and 3D streaming video to immersive sound, the services
        consumers have come to love - such as Netflix, Pandora, YouTube and
        Picasa - can now arrive lighting fast, crystal clear and seamlessly
        transferable to any device.

    --  Cloud Services: The connected lifestyle is defined by anytime, anywhere
        access to critical data from a mobile device, causing new products,
        applications and services to increasingly rely on the cloud. Marvell's
        Cloud Services are designed to play a key role in accommodating the
        immediate and secure transfer of large amounts of data to and from
        devices via the Internet, with high-performance storage technology that
