Tailored for the 224G SERDES an emerging 1.6Tb/s ecosystem, Viavi Solutions unveiled the maiden solution to meet the testing and Viavi ONE-1600 Testing Module Supports 1.6T DevelViavi ONE-1600 Testing Module Supports 1.6T DevelopmentViavi ONE-1600 Testing Module Supports 1.6T Development
The HSE-800 800Gb/s test module and the new testing module, the ONE-1600, are part of the company’s expanding ONE LabPro platform. With 224G SERDES technology, the ONE-1600 is initially offered in a two-port configuration and is built to support the OSFP1600 and QSFP-DD1600 form factors.
Chip, pluggables, and network equipment manufacturers face more challenging issues as a result of emerging applications like as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), high-performance computing (HPC), and quantum computing, which are driving bandwidth and scale at an accelerated rate.
To ensure accuracy, deployment and testing efficiency, and overall cost effectiveness at these higher testing rates, architects and developers require sophisticated and modern instrumentation.
The ONE LabPro Testing Platform Integrates :
- Physical layer insights with multi-port,
- Multi-flow data and control plane Layer 2/3 Ethernet testing across a range of data rates.
- Featuring the highest levels of port density and scalability in the market, ONE LabPro supports up to 64 x 1.6Tb/s test ports using ONE-1600 modules or 128 x 800Gb/s test ports using HSE-800 modules, managed by a single controller.
- The system can synchronize mixed combinations of test modules, centrally managed by the controller, with full breakout capabilities, multi-user logical port support, and single-user per logical port granularity.
- With a contemporary, web-based user interface and next-generation, Python-based automation framework, ONE LabPro enables advanced traffic generation and analysis to troubleshoot and test the functionality and performance of integrated circuits, pluggable interfaces, switching and routing devices, and networks.
