As of 2019-05, Marvell is set to acquire Aquantia.

The Aquantia GEN2 AQrate PHYs are low-power, high-performance multi-speed
 * 10GBASE-T/5GBASE-T/2.5GBASE-T/1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX transceivers.

Client computing
Following its success in pioneering and deploying AQrate, a new class of Ethernet PHY connectivity solution
 * capable of delivering Multi-Gigabit Ethernet over copper cables such as Cat5e typically used for Gigabit,

Aquantia has developed AQtion, an Enterprise-class client controller technology supporting Multi-Gigabit speeds.

{{SCollapse|Aquantia AQtion PHYs: AQC107/AQC108 Aquantia’s AQtion devices, the AQC107 and AQC108 support 5 and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet over copper, or 2.5/5GBASE-T, and
 * are compliant with the NBASE-T specification and the new 802.3bz standard that was formally ratified in September 2016.
 * In addition, both devices also support backward compatibility with 100MbE and Gigabit Ethernet.

The AQC107 has the extra feature of supporting up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, or 10GBASE-T, on Cat6A copper cables,
 * complying with the IEEE standard 802.3an.

The AQtion controller is designed with a PCI Express Gen2/3 x1, x2, x4 for optimal line rate performance connecting to
 * the CPU on the system side. The AQtion software includes drivers for Windows (10, 8.x, and 7), Mac OS X, and Linux.

Aquantia also provides UEFI and PXE boot code, as well as ROM programming and Windows Installer utilities.
 * The AQtion devices are packaged in a 12 mm x 14 mm, 0.8 mm pitch flip-chip BGA.

Enterprise infrastructure

 * Aquantia’s 28nm AQrate AQR107 is the world’s only 1-port five-speed
 * 10 Gbps/5 Gbps/2.5 Gbps/1 Gbps/100 Mbps PHY in the industry.

{{SCollapse|Aquantia AQrate PHYs: AQR107/AQR108/AQR109 The AQR107/AQR108/AQR109 are pin-compatible multi-speed 1-port PHYs that
 * address multiple network connectivity applications and speed requirements.

These devices are available in compact 7 mm x 11 mm flip-chip BGA packages
 * featuring Industrial (-40℃ to +108℃)1 temperature operating range.

The Aquantia GEN2 AQrate PHYs are low-power, high-performance multi-speed
 * 10GBASE-T /5GBASE-T /2.5GBASE-T /1000BASE-T /100BASE-TX transceivers.

AQrate technology bridges the bandwidth gap between legacy Enterprise cabling infrastructure designed
 * for 1Gbps data rates and emergent 802.11ac WLAN technology aggregating bandwidth in excess of 1 Gbps.

AQrate delivers 5GbE and 2.5GbE network connectivity speed through 100 meters of Cat5e or Cat6 cabling
 * enabling the unabated roll-out of 802.11ac WLAN infrastructure with zero change to legacy cabling.

AQrate PHYs are compatible with the NBASE-TTM Alliance PHY Specification, the recently ratified 802.3bz
 * standard and the 802.3an standard to perform all the physical layer functions required to implement
 * 10GBASE-T /5GBASE-T /2.5GBASE-T /1000BASE-T /100BASE-TX transmission over 100 meters
 * of twisted pair cabling.

The AQrate PHY family integrates such features as Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), 1588v2, MACsec
 * and supports all PoE standards up to 60W.

Features

 * 802.3bz and NBASE-T compliant, featuring AQrate Adaptive Rate Operation
 * Supports 10GBASE-T /5GBASE-T /2.5GBASE-T /1000BASE-T /100BASE-TX
 * Integrated MACsec, 1588v2, EEE support
 * Full support for AES-256 and stand-alone operation
 * Advanced Cable Diagnostics
 * On-chip high-resolution cable analyzer
 * Built-in Thermal Management
 * On-chip thermal sensor with alarm and warning thresholds
 * High-Performance Interfaces
 * Full KR with auto-negotiation/XFI/USXGMII/2500BASE-X/SGMII
