SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today introduced a range of new solutions designed for testing
tomorrow's network elements in today's lab, production and manufacturing environments. With these new offerings, VIAVI further
enhances the industry's most comprehensive portfolio of test and measurement solutions for these markets. The new solutions and
more will be showcased at the OFC Conference in San Diego, March 3-7, 2019
(Booth 2814).
Networks around the world are undergoing revolutionary transformation – 5G, IoT, Gigabit to the Home and out to the
cloud. And all these networks depend on fiber optic communications, the only technology capable of supporting the exponential
increases in bandwidth demand in every segment from the edge to the core. Performance requirements for today's networks are more
exacting than ever, and the need for testing of equipment and networks is critical — from the lab and production environment
throughout the entire network lifecycle.
From basic optical connector and component testing to leadership in 100/400/800G transmission and next-generation protocol
testing, VIAVI has optimized solutions engineered specifically for all phases of the production lifecycle, from design and
product validation to manufacturing test applications. The new solutions include:
- The MAP-300 photonic metrology and test automation platform, the third generation of an industry standard. As a successor
to MAP-200, the MAP-300 achieves the precision required for lab use and the configurability needed for the rigors of
manufacturing. New, multi-user architecture supported by a customizable user interface to prioritize key data, along with
remote automation over direct IP socket connections, help increase capital utilization and dramatically reduce the cost of
test. Full backward compatibility with MAP-200 modules enable current WSS, 400GE and coherent line system manufacturers to
protect their installed base.
- The mOLM-C1 module for the MAP-200 benchtop system, which adds to the industry-leading MAP portfolio of insertion loss and
return loss solutions for optical connector manufacturers. The mOLM-C1 module and the PCT-rm application suite are designed to
create a cost-effective, space-optimized solution. With the unique ability to measure four wavelengths at the same time without
specification degradation, the mOLM-C1 is the fastest measurement system on the market and is also the only solution in its
class able to share scripts and data between units.
- Two new Optical Network Tester (ONT) products, the ONT-800 mainframe and the 800G Flex module, build on the
industry reference ONT-600 to deliver the bandwidth, power and cooling requirements for testing at 800G per lambda and
beyond. The ONT-800 enables multi-service testing for R&D, SVT and manufacturing while retaining all the best-in-class
automation, applications and reliability of its predecessor, the ONT-600. The 800G Flex module's advanced test coverage,
including PHY, PCS and Ethernet layers, gives manufacturers an advantage when designing and manufacturing emerging
technologies. The ONT-800 family delivers unmatched port density for all applications in the product development lifecycle,
and the industry's first full-bandwidth 400G ODUflex in OTUC4, via FlexO or OTLC4.
- The FVAm series of benchtop microscopes, the industry's first all-in-one benchtop inspection and analysis microscope for
MPO and other multi-fiber connectors. FVAm completely automates every step of the inspection and test process with unmatched
speed and reliability. With the ability to automatically test multi-fiber connectors in under 20 seconds, the FVAm equips
manufacturing facilities to ensure optimized quality and performance of MPO cables and QSFP modules at every stage of
production.
"At VIAVI, our decades-long history of innovation includes the establishment of an industry-leading suite of purpose-built
products for lab, production, and manufacturing environments," said Tom Fawcett, Vice President
and General Manager, Lab and Production, VIAVI. "With these new solutions, VIAVI is doubling down on our offerings,
providing a test portfolio that is unmatched in its depth, breadth, and support for all phases of optical transmission system
development – helping our customers and the industry as a whole bring products to market faster."
Contact VIAVI to schedule a meeting at OFC or visit Booth 2814 to view demonstrations of the complete
portfolio.
