Keysight Technologies Launches Advanced Testing Solutions for High-Speed Networks
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (KEYS) recently unveiled the Interconnect Test System (“ITS”), along with the Interconnect and Network Performance Tester 1600GE (INPT-1600GE) hardware traffic emulator and an innovative software solution. This integrated offering is specifically developed to validate network interconnects supporting speeds from 200 GE to 1600 GE.
The growing reliance on high-bandwidth applications across various sectors has heightened the complexity of validating high-speed Ethernet infrastructures, AI systems, and data center connections. Traditional manual validation methods often demand significant programming expertise, leading to time-consuming processes that are prone to errors. Additionally, the absence of a centralized system complicates the tracking and replication of validation efforts. Conventional testing protocols frequently fall short in terms of scalability and flexibility needed for high-speed network validation. Keysight’s new solution addresses these challenges, targeting manual testing inefficiencies, scalability issues, and disorganization of data.
Keysight’s ITS software provides a multi-user, browser-based interface that allows for simultaneous test scheduling—enhancing the throughput of test cases and overall validation efficiency. It includes an interconnect library to systematically manage interconnect data, facilitating easier access, modification, and updates. The INPT 1600GE supports a broad spectrum of speeds, optimizing it for various Ethernet devices and interconnects.
This solution effectively assesses the reliability, stability, and interoperability of silicon chips, optical transceivers, active cables, and networking equipment. With an automated report generator, Keysight streamlines the interconnect development process— marking a significant advancement in the landscape of interconnect validation.
Will This Product Launch Drive KEYS’ Share Performance?
The suite of Keysight solutions is establishing a new standard in high-speed Ethernet and AI infrastructure deployment, enhancing precision and efficiency in interconnect assessments. Key collaborations are emerging with global standardization bodies and manufacturers to facilitate the transition to 800 GE and 1600 GE AI network infrastructures. This robust and scalable solution from KEYS is poised to accelerate the necessary ecosystem development, thus positively impacting its commercial prospects.
In October 2024, Keysight launched the Portable 800 GE Benchtop System aimed at AI and data center interconnects. The recent introduction of their 1600 GE testing solution further demonstrates KEYS’ commitment to innovation, which bodes well for its long-term growth potential.
