VIAV - InnoLight Uses VIAVI ONT-600 400G Test Platform to Speed Development of Next-Generation Optical Modules
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- VIAVI Solutions (NASDAQ: VIAV) today announced that InnoLight Technology, a leading vendor of high-speed optical transponders, has used the ONT-600 400G test platform to accelerate development of InnoLight's optical modules. Both companies will be present at ECOC next week: VIAVI will showcase high-speed optical test solutions at booth #506; and InnoLight will have a live demo to show 400G QSFP-DD FR4 and 400G OSFP FR4 testing with the VIAVI ONT-600 400G at booth # 245.
InnoLight and VIAVI will continue to work closely on development of next-generation modules, with the ONT-600 supporting development of both hardware and software, as well as system verification. In preparation for ECOC, the two companies verified interoperability between 400G QSFP-DD and 400G OSFP modules based on FR4 optics. The VIAVI ONT was used to generate and analyze 400G Ethernet traffic and InnoLight provided an QSFP-DD module and an OSPF module.
