• Collaboration leverages silicon innovation and open-network system design competencies to deliver high-availability, open, and intelligent edge network infrastructure for next-generation Enterprise and SMB applications

CARLSBAD, Calif.: #broadband--MaxLinear, Inc. (Nasdaq: MXL), a leader in connectivity and networking silicon, and Edgecore Networks, a leading provider of open infrastructure solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the development of AI-driven networking solutions for enterprise and service provider markets.

The collaboration combines MaxLinear’s high-performance connectivity platforms with Edgecore’s open networking systems to deliver scalable, high-availability infrastructure designed for next-generation AI-infused workloads at the network edge.

MaxLinear’s multi-interface WAN solutions platform consisting of XGS-PON, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi enables resilient, uninterrupted operations with sustained 10Gbps throughput across all packet sizes to meet the performance requirements of data-intensive applications. Its integrated hardware acceleration engines provide line-rate encryption and intrusion prevention, ensuring strong security without compromising performance. As AI workloads increasingly move closer to users and devices, MaxLinear continues to innovate with platforms purpose-built for edge intelligence and seamless transition to Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 8 connectivity, even as bandwidth requirements continue to grow.

Edgecore brings industry-leading open infrastructure, including its Full Stack OpenWiFi solution, OpenLAN switching and gateway platforms, and cloud-based management via CloudSDK. Its Edge AI Box platform extends compute capabilities to the network edge, enabling real-time intelligence and AI-powered service delivery.

Together, the companies aim to deliver an integrated ecosystem that enables enterprises and service providers to deploy scalable, intelligent, and highly reliable networks.

The enterprise campus and edge networking market is expected to grow approximately 7%–11% annually, driven by increasing data demands, device proliferation, and the rise of localized intelligence.

“This partnership represents a powerful alignment of silicon innovation and system-level expertise,” said Puneet Sethi, SVP & GM, Network Infrastructure & Carrier at MaxLinear. “By combining our technologies, we are enabling organizations to confidently scale their networks as they adopt AI-driven operations. MaxLinear’s technology roadmap is aligned with the convergence of AI and high-speed connectivity, enabling operators and enterprises to address evolving next-generation network demands driven by the migration of AI workloads closer to the user.”

"Our product development strategy has always been driven by strong technical investment and a clear understanding of where the market is heading," said Tengtai Hsu, Vice President of Product at Edgecore Networks. "We see AI and high-speed connectivity converging at the network edge, and that creates a genuinely interesting set of questions worth exploring with the right partners. Collaborating with partners who share a similar view of the market has always been an important part of our product strategy. Partnering with MaxLinear is a natural next step, and we are excited about what we can build together."

MaxLinear will showcase its multi-WAN, multi-LAN high-availability security gateway at Computex Taipei 2026, June 2–5, at MaxLinear’s booth located at 1F, Hall 1, Booth K0006.
