Marvell introduces chips for open-source 5G networking gear

Marvell Technology Group Ltd on Tuesday rolled out a set of semiconductors aimed at a new wave of 5G networking gear designed to let telecommunications carriers mix and match equipment more easily.

In the past, mobile network equipment from makers such as Nokia, Ericsson and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd was largely proprietary, made up of custom chips and software and difficult to intermix.
