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 deal with testing and validation wants of the rising 1.6 terabits per second (Tb/s) Ethernet ecosystem based mostly 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 out there 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 got by no means seen such a pointy ramp for brand new merchandise. This will likely 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 based mostly 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 growth 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 automobile for commentary, RF sensing and communications and has carried out 5G testing in different situations; it stated that its tech will assist each the gathering of high-resolution commentary knowledge and as a platform for “knowledge and communication providers for uninhabited areas both as an impartial community or through 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 supplies 4 time the sign decision and a noise flooring half that of different, comparable 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 latest 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 stated 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 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 out there on-demand.
