VIAVI introduces 1.6Tb/s Ethernet testing for AI workloads
Summary
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. “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. 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. “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.
