1.6Tb class modules are now being developed to meet the raw bandwidth and bandwidth density demands of applications including ‘factory scale’ AI and hyperscale computing. Based on emerging standards from IEEE and OIF, they build upon a solid 800Gb ecosystem and include several new features – both evolutionary and revolutionary. 224G Signaling and FECi The […]
How to address three emerging cybersecurity threats poised to wreak network havoc, with a focus on AI, ZTNA, and PQC. The urgent pace of technological change is sending tsunami-sized ripples through every aspect of how networks are built and managed. This is especially true when it comes to threat landscapes. Cyber adversaries are growing more […]
In the dynamic realm of data centers, AI is setting new benchmarks. A New Frontier for Data Centers AI models demand unprecedented bandwidth, driving data centers to transition from 400G to 800G, and eventually to 1.6T speeds. This rapid evolution is crucial for meeting the massive data demands. AI workloads differ significantly from traditional data […]
VIAVI has spent decades testing Ethernet as a service, fueling its leadership position in testing modules, cables, and Ethernet ICs at the PHY layer. We also have products that cover the full stack to L7, offering breadth and depth of coverage. A few years ago, we determined current products on the market for high-scale Ethernet […]
We at VIAVI have long been aware of the impact of latency on the datacoms and telecoms ecosystem. Specialized applications have been developed which allow customers to develop and evaluate ICs, optical modules, ASICs and systems based on their bandwidth throughput and latency. Historically, people have focused on microseconds, but increasingly – especially driven by […]
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) is a significant driver in the future of the networking industry. Traditional networking infrastructure struggles to keep pace with the performance, speed and capacity requirements of AI/ML applications. To address this challenge, there has been a push towards higher-speed 800G optical transceivers and the emergence of 1.6Tb/s, alongside […]
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications necessitates unparalleled data transmission and processing speeds. As datasets grow exponentially, the demand for faster transmission solutions escalates, leading to the development of 800G and 2x400G transceiver technologies to overcome existing bottlenecks, with forecasts of 1.6Tb on the horizon. However, transitioning to these […]
As the telecommunications industry converges at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2024, one of the major themes at the show is the concept of a “Dark NOC” with AI and ML-enabled intelligent systems. The evolution towards the Dark NOC is driven in part by the growing demands for network performance and reliability – automated operations […]
Today’s digital landscape depends heavily on the telecommunications industry to function, with network infrastructure at its foundation. From Open RAN and disaggregation to the shift towards cloud-based solutions, we are constantly working to reinvent, reinforce and improve network architectures in pursuit of better performance and end-user experiences. At Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2024, the […]
