On December 2, 2025, Marvell Technology, a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Celestial AI, a pioneer of a disruptive Photonic Fabric technology platform purpose-built for scale-up optical interconnect. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati is advising Marvell on the transaction.

This strategic acquisition represents a transformational milestone in accelerating the company’s connectivity strategy for next-generation AI and cloud data centers. Combined with existing leadership in scale-out and scale-across connectivity, Marvell expects this expanded portfolio will result in the industry’s most comprehensive provider of high-bandwidth, low-power, low-latency solutions for next-generation data center connectivity. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of calendar 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

The Wilson Sonsini team advising Marvell on the transaction is led by Rob Ishii, Ethan Lutske, Ross Tanaka, Allison Spinner, and Jeana Kim.
