CHANDLER, Ariz., Sept. 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Viavi Solutions
Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today announced the first
solution to address testing and validation needs of the emerging
1.6Tb/s ecosystem based on 224G SERDES. This new testing module,
the ONE-1600, is the latest addition to the company's growing ONE
LabProâ„¢ platform, which also includes the HSE-800 800Gb/s test
module. Designed to accommodate OSFP1600 and QSFP-DD1600 form
factors, the ONE-1600 is available initially in a two-port
configuration, and incorporates 224G SERDES technology.

Emerging applications like AI, ML, high-performance computing
(HPC) and quantum computing are driving bandwidth and scale at an
accelerating rate, creating increasingly difficult challenges for
manufacturers of chips, pluggables and network equipment.
Architects and developers need modern, sophisticated
instrumentation to test at these higher speeds while maintaining
accuracy, deployment and testing efficiency, and overall cost
effectiveness.
"Use of optical connectivity in AI clusters accelerated adoption
of 1.6Tb transceivers and 224G SERDES," commented Dr. Vladimir Kozlov, CEO and Chief Analyst at
LightCounting. "LightCounting increased forecast for these products
to a million units in 2025, up from tens of thousands in 2024. We
have never seen such a sharp ramp for new products. This will be a
stress test for the whole supply chain."
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.
"InnoLight has invested significantly in development of 1.6T
products based on 224G SERDES technology and we are happy to
announce our next-generation 1.6T optics," said Osa Mok, Chief Marketing Officer of InnoLight.
"Our new 1.6T optics enable cloud operators to rapidly upgrade
their compute and networks to meet end customer demand. VIAVI
testing solutions have accelerated our development and assured
product quality."
"Our 1.6T transceiver modules and our leadership in foundational
high-speed indium phosphide photonic devices and chip-scale
packaging will enable hyperscaler cloud operator and AI
infrastructure provider customers to take their next steps in
scaling their AI and ML solutions," said Hui Xu, Group Vice President of R&D for
Cloud and Networking at Lumentum. "VIAVI is an important partner,
providing key product testing and verification solutions aiding in
our product development programs and, ultimately, in delivering our
advanced solutions that address rapidly growing customer
needs."
"VIAVI is pleased to support the growing 1.6T development
ecosystem with the ONE-1600 testing module," said Tom Fawcett, Senior Vice President and General
Manager, Lab & Production, VIAVI. "Our ONE LabPro platform now
supports 1.6Tb/s data rates on 224G SERDES in an innovative
platform that will help our customers deliver on their aggressive,
high-speed Ethernet roadmaps."
The ONE LabPro platform and ONE-1600 module will be showcased at
CIOE in Shenzen, China, at VIAVI
Booth 10A55, and at ECOC in Frankfurt,
Germany at VIAVI Stand A1.
