VIAVI Solutions introduced the 800G transport module for OneAdvisor 800, adding to the industry’s most integrated and compact tool for testing up to 800G. The 800G Transport Module will be showcased at the Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) Conference and Exposition booth 2319 from April 1-3, 2025 in San Francisco, California.
Driven by AI/ML and other high-bandwidth applications, service providers and manufacturers are increasingly developing and deploying high-speed fiber and transport technologies for data center and metro/core networks. Building on VIAVI’s market-leading OneAdvisor 800 platform, the transport module delivers comprehensive test capability, built-in guidance and automatic configuration that help field technicians install and maintain high-capacity networks up to 800G.
Ideal for technicians and contractors who must carry their gear into the field, the OneAdvisor 800’s superior battery life and industry-leading heat dissipation are well-suited to 800G testing in metro/core, metro/data center interconnect (DCI), as well as campus and business services environments.
“As emerging applications such as IoT, AI and cloud computing place unprecedented strain on networks, technicians and engineers need fast and accurate certification of data center cablings for 800G,” said Kevin Oliver, Vice President and General Manager, Fiber and Access Solutions, VIAVI. “Offering comprehensive testing, optics form factor flexibility and extensive support for coherent pluggable optics in a single unit, the new transport module is optimized for 800G testing in the field.”
The 800G transport module supports both traditional AOC / DAC cable tests and new AEC / ACC tests within a single unit. Transport applications can be paired with OTDR for fiber optics cable troubleshooting and OSA for DWDM analysis. In addition, the module supports both QSFP and OSFP form factors, both of which are increasingly used in 800G applications compared to lower speeds. Built-in, scripted workflows drive test consistency across users.
Introduced in 2020 to help simplify accelerated network installation at scale, OneAdvisor 800 offers the industry’s widest and deepest range of modular test capabilities supporting transport, wireless/RF and fiber optic environments. With compatible capabilities that include the INX 760 Probe Microscope and FiberComplete PRO, technicians worldwide can rapidly and reliably install, turn up and troubleshoot virtually any network architecture.
With the addition of the 800G field test capabilities for OneAdvisor 800, VIAVI offers the industry’s broadest test solutions for 800G and beyond, including R&D qualification and volume production of optical network component and connectivity up to 1.6T with ONE LabPro and MAP-300.
