The company supplies the custom baseband silicon at the heart of the non-Chinese RAN — OCTEON Fusion processors and OCTEON DPUs sit inside Nokia&rsquo;s ReefShark chipsets and Samsung&rsquo;s massive-MIMO base stations. That franchise defined Marvell&rsquo;s role in 5G. It does not obviously survive into 6G intact, and the company&rsquo;s maneuvering over the past year reads as an attempt to convert a declining incumbency into something more durable.</p>
