The industry’s most compact and integrated tool for testing up to 800G was expanded by VIAVI Solutions with the introduction of the 800G transport module for OneAdvisor 800. From April 1–3, 2025, in San Francisco, California, the 800G Transport Module will be on display at booth 2319 of the Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) Conference and Exposition.
High-speed fiber and transport technologies for data centers and metro/core networks are being developed and implemented at an increasing rate by manufacturers and service providers, driven by AI/ML and other high-bandwidth applications.
The transport module, which builds upon VIAVI’s industry-leading OneAdvisor 800 platform, offers field workers complete test capability, integrated advice, and automatic configuration to facilitate the installation and maintenance of high-capacity networks up to 800G.
The OneAdvisor 800’s exceptional battery life and industry-leading heat dissipation make it the perfect choice for 800G testing in metro/core, metro/data center interconnect (DCI), as well as campus and business services environments. It is also perfect for technicians and contractors that need to transport their equipment into the field.
OneAdvisor 800, which was first released in 2020 to facilitate rapid network deployment at scale, provides the broadest and most comprehensive set of modular test capabilities in the industry, supporting transport, wireless/RF, and fiber optic environments.
Almost any network design may be installed, turned up, and troubleshooted quickly and reliably by specialists worldwide thanks to compatible features like the INX 760 Probe Microscope and FiberComplete PRO.
VIAVI now provides the industry’s most comprehensive test solutions for 800G and beyond, including R&D qualification and volume production of optical network components and connection up to 1.6T with ONE LabPro and MAP-300. This is in addition to field test capabilities for OneAdvisor 800.
The 800G Transport Module Supports:
- Both traditional AOC / DAC cable tests and new AEC / ACC tests within a single unit.
- Transport applications can be paired with OTDR for fiber optics cable troubleshooting and OSA for DWDM analysis.
- In addition, the module supports both QSFP and OSFP form factors, both of which are increasingly used in 800G applications compared to lower speeds.
- Built-in, scripted workflows drive test consistency across users.
Leadership Comments
“As emerging applications such as IoT, AI and cloud computing place unprecedented strain on networks, technicians and engineers need fast and accurate certification of data center cablings for 800G,” said Kevin Oliver, Vice President and General Manager, Fiber and Access Solutions, VIAVI. “Offering comprehensive testing, optics form factor flexibility and extensive support for coherent pluggable optics in a single unit, the new transport module is optimized for 800G testing in the field.”
