MaxLinear lifts its 2026 optical data center revenue outlook to $250M-$270M as AI demand drives Q3 revenue up 72%.
MaxLinear’s optical data center business is growing faster than expected, with a new revenue forecast of $250M-$270M for 2026, up from a previous estimate of $210M-$230M.
The company credited the growth to its high-speed optical DSP products, particularly the Keystone platform, which supports 800G deployments.
The Rushmore DSP platform, built for 1.6T products, is expected to start contributing revenue in the first half of 2027 and perform stronger in the second half of that year and into 2028.
