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 answer 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 consists of an 800 Gbps check module.
The ONE-1600 is initially obtainable in a two-port configuration, Viavi stated 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,” stated Dr. Vladimir Kozlov, CEO and chief analyst at LightCounting, in a remark “LightCounting elevated forecast for these merchandise to 1,000,000 items in 2025, up from tens of 1000’s in 2024. We’ve by no means seen such a pointy ramp for brand spanking new merchandise. This shall be a stress check for the entire provide chain.”
Osa Mok, CMO of InnoLight, stated 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 satisfy 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, have 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 remark, RF sensing and communications and has performed 5G testing in different situations; it stated that its tech will assist each the gathering of high-resolution remark information and as a platform for “information 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 route.”
–Keysight Applied sciences has launched a brand new, general-purpose 14-bit analog-to-digital oscilloscope, which it says offers 4 time the sign decision and a noise flooring half that of different, related oscilloscopes. The InfiniiVision HD3 sequence 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 determine the smallest and most rare sign glitches throughout design debugging.”
-On the latest SemiCon Taiwan present, energy administration and industrial automation firm Delta targeted 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 stated can “can nearly hyperlink particular [semiconductor] manufacturing traces and combination information from a various vary of apparatus and programs to generate artificial information to coach its pc 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 matter in-depth with RCR’s Kelly Hill in a webinar that’s now obtainable on-demand.
