VIAVI presents at the 22nd China Optical Network Symposium, charting the future of optical networks

Discussing integrated and efficient coherent pluggable (400G ZR (+)) networks, interface testing and certification

Beijing, China, August 3, 2022 - VIAVI Solutions today participated in the 22nd China Optical Network Symposium with a number of industry-leading optical network and optical communication test solutions. This symposium focuses on the cutting-edge technologies and innovative products of optical communications under the trend of cloud-network integration, and jointly discusses the opportunities and challenges facing the domestic optical communication field. During the meeting, Sha Huijun, technical director of VIAVI Greater China, will share the keynote speech "Integrated High-Efficiency Coherent Pluggable (400G ZR (+)) Network, Interface Testing and Certification" with experts and scholars in the special topic of "All-Optical Network and Next-Generation Optical Transport Network", and jointly draw up a picture of the future development of optical networks.

The rapid growth of communications and cloud networks has prompted suppliers to speed up upgrades. With the rapid development of data centers and 5G, the deployment of 400G pluggable coherent modules has become increasingly widespread, and 400G optical modules are becoming increasingly important for improving data center speeds. The continued advancement of fiber optic laying has also put forward higher requirements for network identification. Accurate certification can help improve operational efficiency and save costs. With the right certification, service providers can identify potential problems and deal with them in a timely manner, thereby avoiding impacts on customer experience and reducing additional expenses for future troubleshooting and maintenance.

Sha Huijun, Technical Director of VIAVI Greater China, said: "VIAVI keeps pace with the development of communication technology and is committed to helping customers solve problems and meet their customers' needs during development, preparation for development, and mass production. VIAVI works hard in this field to enable the entire industry chain to provide leading optical network testing solutions to ensure that operators and their partners can successfully complete deployment and achieve a sustainable network life cycle."

VIAVI is committed to continuously expanding product functions and now provides a wide range of 400G and above test solutions, which can be applied to development and system verification, coherent optical communication testing and field. At this seminar, VIAVI brought a comprehensive optical network and optical communication test solution, some of the exhibits include:

• ONT-804 Optical Network Tester: A high-performance laboratory and production tester for high-speed networks, a multi-protocol, multi-port test platform that can be deeply configured, suitable for R&D and system verification of optical transmission ICs, modules and systems.

• OneAdvisor 800: This all-in-one network installation and maintenance test tool is designed to simplify the evolving network testing needs of service providers, data centers, field technicians and contractors as they deploy, train and maintain a variety of wired and wireless networks. Its modular design allows network technicians to easily switch between multiple test scenarios including transport protocols, fiber or wireless RF signals.

• MAP-300: A third-generation optical test and measurement system optimized to enable compact and affordable development and manufacturing of optical communications technology products. The MAP system is the core of VIAVI’s optical test solution for both lab and manufacturing applications. The solution is highly scalable to meet current and future needs.

• FiberComplete PRO™: is a suite of fiber testing and certification capabilities that enables field technicians to quickly, reliably and cost-effectively perform bidirectional certification and troubleshooting on any fiber link. One fiber connection and one button press get fiber acceptance testing done the first time.

This China Optical Network Seminar will last for two days. Please visit VIAVI booth A03 to listen to the keynote speech and experience VIAVI's comprehensive product portfolio and test solutions.
