Aquantia Corporation was a manufacturer of high-speed transceivers. In 2004, Aquantia Corporation was founded and first made products for Data Center connectivity, and in 2013 announced the world's first integrated 10GBASE-T MAC/PHY for servers.[1] In 2014, Aquantia founded the NBASE-T Alliance together with Cisco, Xilinx and Freescale. In the same year they introduced a technology that delivered a boost to Ethernet throughput and was aimed to help with an expected increase in mobile broadband traffic.[2][3] The NBASE-T Alliance promoted the 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T standard, which was ratified as the 802.3bz standard by the IEEE in 2016. The standard enabled Cat5e cables to carry 2.5 Gb of data per second and Cat6 cables to carry 5 Gbps.[4] In 2016, Aquantia announced a technology that made it possible to achieve up to 100Gbps over a copper cable.[5]

It won Company of the Year at the 2014 annual Creativity in Electronics awards,[6] and was ranked by Deloitte Fast 500 as the fastest-growing semiconductor company in North America in 2014,[7] 2015 and 2016. In 2016, Aquantia was named a finalist in UBM Tech’s EE Times and EDN Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Awards for “Company of the Year".[8]

The company was acquired by Marvell Technology Group on September 19, 2019.[9] The Aquantia brand was since phased out and replaced with Marvell brand. Aquantia's website was, for short time, redirecting to Marvell's website, but then it was shut down completely.
