Over the past 18 months, the VIAVI ONE LabPro® ONE-1600 has supported customers that are bringing 1.6Tb OSFP 1600 modules to market. Challenges initially focused on PHY layer and 224G SERDES, but we now move into a more rigorous, standards-backed phase as advanced features such as APSU/ILT, inner FEC, and CMIS all must be developed, […]
As VIAVI continues to lead and support the 1.6Tb ecosystem, we now see a distinct transition from the first generation ‘can we build it?’ to the 2nd and even 3rd generation modules with the right performance and power to allow massive 1.6Tb systems deployment at scale. This is further enabled by the emergence of 102Tb switch silicon […]
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, from the smart assistant in your phone to the massive language models (LLMs) creating content online. LLMs like GPT-5, LLAMA-4 or Gemini 2.5 are not just larger versions of their predecessors; using Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, they’re on an entirely new scale, trained on petabytes of data with arguably trillions of parameters. […]
As digital technologies advance and consumer demands shift, the global telecommunications industry is rapidly undergoing a transformation. Faster networks and lower latencies are required to support emerging technologies such as IoT networks/systems, AI and cloud computing. As such, telcos are evolving to resemble technology companies, with a focus that extends beyond what a traditional telco […]
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 […]
In 2023, VIAVI Solutions proudly celebrated our 100-year journey as a global leader in communications test and measurement, and optical technologies. As we embark on our 101st year and beyond, here is a window into the trends we are following in our target markets. Scale: 5G In 2023, The State of 5G from VIAVI observed a […]
Transformative technologies such as edge computing, 5G, and mobile clouds are enabling bold and exciting new business models. Industry 4.0, autonomous vehicles, and remote medicine are just a few examples of the advances these technologies offer. Open RAN (O-RAN) is a key foundational framework poised to facilitate this revolution, allowing for rapid and widespread innovation […]
The automobile sector is developing at pace, with autonomous vehicles becoming a primary priority for many manufacturers in the industry. Car manufacturers in the autonomous vehicle space are partnering with telecommunications providers to access the advanced technologies necessary to get these innovative vehicles on the market. 5G technology is the leading technology to power driverless […]
SASE: We are presently witnessing a dramatic transformation of enterprise networking and its associated security environment. This sea change is being driven by major and ongoing ‘cloudification’ of business and workplace activities. Businesses are moving from on-premise solutions to hybrid and public cloud solutions, and managed networks. Adding to this complexity is the growing use […]
One of the more intriguing and beneficial use cases for hyperscale and 5G is the data center itself. More specifically, the IoT and artificial intelligence (AI), backed by the power of hyperscale computing, have become important tools for enabling lights out (unmanned) data center operation. Hyperscale computing demands are ratcheting the pressure on operators to […]
