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]
