Major network AI advancements for increasing data center scale and reducing energy consumption were on display at OFC 2025 as cutting-edge test solutions proved ready to validate network infrastructures and power high-speed performance. This year Optical Fiber Communications Conference (OFC) celebrated 50 years of innovation in optical networking and communications as more than 17,000 attendees from 83 […]
Network Operations (NetOps) and Security Operations (SecOps) teams once sat on opposite sides of the channel, unwittingly pulling the same rope. The uptime and connectivity lauded by NetOps professionals and the threat detection and prevention goals of dedicated SecOps teams have always complemented one another, even when the methods, tools, and workflows were decidedly different. […]
A generation ago, adding more gauges, dials, and displays to car dashboards was all the rage, with data-hungry drivers anxiously monitoring vehicle performance and efficiency from the comfort of the driver’s seat. Today, we have come full circle, with unified displays presenting more information while distilling it in a way that lets us keep our […]
At the NVIDIA GTC conference, VIAVI announced it is expanding its TeraVM AI RAN Scenario Generator (AI RSG) product by integrating it with the NVIDIA Aerial Omniverse Digital Twin (AODT). The integration enables realistic and detailed radio access network (RAN) simulations, supporting network equipment manufacturers to leverage network data and AI/ML to optimize network operations. […]

The UEC Stack will mark a major evolution in Ethernet, integrating scalability, low latency, and congestion control for AI and HPC data centers. However, traditional testing won’t be enough. Learn why new assurance models, multi-KPI validation, and real-world traffic modeling will be essential for success—and what effective testing strategies involve. Significant leap forward in networking […]
224G SERDES is a high-speed interface technology that underpins next-generation 1.6Tb links. Getting 224G signals from the ASIC to the interconnect and beyond remains a key challenge for the deployment and scaling of 1.6Tb. Each 1.6Tb link uses 8 lanes of 224G signaling. For Ethernet, this actually runs at 212.5 Gb/s, which includes some overhead […]
Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona is almost here again. Last year saw several major announcements on the evolution to 6G, including a notable joint shared-principles statement from 10 countries announcing their intention to “support open, free, global, interoperable, reliable, resilient, and secure connectivity.” As a trusted partner in network test, automation, and optimization for over […]
Network visibility is enhanced through the time-stamped logs, performance metrics, and end-to-end traces collectively known as telemetry data. Each unique data source provides valuable clues that help IT teams and network engineers resolve issues and maintain performance standards, both locally and in the cloud. When these discreet lanes of information converge with comprehensive and inciteful […]
