As broad curiosity in and use of synthetic intelligence and different high-performance compute surges, Viavi Options has launched what it says is the primary resolution to handle testing and validation wants of the rising 1.6 terabits per second (Tb/s) Ethernet ecosystem primarily based on 224G SerDes. The brand new ONE-1600 testing module provides to Viavi’s ONE LabPro platform, which additionally contains an 800 Gbps check module.
The ONE-1600 is initially accessible in a two-port configuration, Viavi mentioned in a launch, including that ONE LabPro helps as much as 64 x 1.6 Tb/s check ports utilizing ONE-1600 modules or 128 x 800 Gb/s check ports utilizing its HSE-800 modules.
“Use of optical connectivity in AI clusters accelerated adoption of 1.6Tb transceivers and 224G SerDes,” mentioned Dr. Vladimir Kozlov, CEO and chief analyst at LightCounting, in a remark “LightCounting elevated forecast for these merchandise to one million items in 2025, up from tens of 1000’s in 2024. Now we have by no means seen such a pointy ramp for brand spanking new merchandise. This can be a stress check for the entire provide chain.”
Osa Mok, CMO of InnoLight, mentioned that InnoLight has invested “considerably” in growing 1.6T merchandise primarily based on 224G SerDes know-how. “Our new 1.6T optics allow cloud operators to quickly improve their compute and networks to fulfill finish buyer demand,” Mok commented, including that Viavi’s testing options “accelerated our improvement and guaranteed product high quality.”
In different check information:
-The United Arab Emirates marked its first flights of Excessive-Altitude Pseudo-Satellites (HAPS) with Earth-observing payloads. The HAPS, which flew for a number of days throughout every check mission, had been put up by Mira Aerospace, a three way partnership between geospatial analytics firm Bayanat and U.S.-based UAV producer UAVOS. Mira focuses on HAPS as a car for commentary, RF sensing and communications and has performed 5G testing in different cases; it mentioned that its tech will help each the gathering of high-resolution commentary knowledge and as a platform for “knowledge and communication companies for uninhabited areas both as an impartial community or by way of 4G and 5G service suppliers, with excessive flexibility in flight path management and course.”
–Keysight Applied sciences has launched a brand new, general-purpose 14-bit analog-to-digital oscilloscope, which it says gives 4 time the sign decision and a noise ground half that of different, related oscilloscopes. The InfiniiVision HD3 collection of devices has a customized application-specific built-in circuit (ASIC) and deep reminiscence structure, Keysight added, and “delivers the precision and accuracy wanted to establish the smallest and most rare sign glitches throughout design debugging.”
-On the current SemiCon Taiwan present, energy administration and industrial automation firm Delta centered on the rising use of digital twins and synthetic intelligence in semiconductor manufacturing. The corporate highlighted its digital twin, developed on Nvidia’s Omniverse platform, which it mentioned can “can nearly hyperlink particular [semiconductor] manufacturing strains and mixture knowledge from a various vary of kit and methods to generate artificial knowledge to coach its laptop fashions to attain 90% accuracy.”
-ICYMI: How is AI being utilized in community testing and assurance? Stephen Douglas, head of market technique at Spirent Communications and Raj Savoor, VP of community analytics and automation at AT&T mentioned this subject in-depth with RCR’s Kelly Hill in a webinar that’s now accessible on-demand.
