Nokia announced a new partnership with the semiconductor specialist Marvell Technologies earlier this month. Under the partnership, Marvell will develop chips and processors for Nokia’s 5G radios. The deal is a crucial factor in Nokia’s bid to regain momentum after making some design decisions that have left it struggling to compete with other radio vendors in winning new 5G business contracts.

Nokia will work with Marvell to build a new generation of custom system-on-chip (SoC) and infrastructure processors. These will combine Nokia radio technology with Marvell multi-core Arm processor platforms. The new-and-improved chipsets, referred to as ‘ReefShark,’ will be embedded in Nokia AirScale radio solutions. They will replace existing field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) that Nokia had previously been using to support its 5G processing requirements.
