"We are happy that VIAVI is the leader in this respect" – Osa Mok, Chief Marketing Officer, InnoLight
San Jose, Calif., September 20, 2018 – 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.
"In the highly complex 400G product technologies, a reliable and versatile test platform is crucial to our success in developing our modules on time while assuring optimal performance," said Osa Mok, Chief Marketing Officer, InnoLight.
