VIAVI Solutions has announced the launch of its groundbreaking 800G transport module for the OneAdvisor 800 , further solidifying its position as a leader in high-speed network testing solutions. This latest innovation enhances the industry’s most compact and integrated tool designed for testing networks up to 800G . The module will make its debut at the Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) Conference and Exposition at booth 2319, held from April 1-3, 2025 , in San Francisco, California.
The demand for high-speed fiber and transport technologies is surging due to the rapid growth of AI/ML applications, IoT, cloud computing, and other bandwidth-intensive use cases. Service providers and manufacturers are increasingly focusing on deploying advanced networks for data centers and metro/core environments. Building on the success of the market-leading OneAdvisor 800 platform , the new 800G transport module offers comprehensive testing capabilities, built-in guidance, and automatic configuration features that empower field technicians to install and maintain high-capacity networks with ease.
Why the 800G Transport Module Stands Out
Designed with portability in mind, the OneAdvisor 800 boasts superior battery life and exceptional heat dissipation, making it ideal for rigorous 800G testing in diverse environments such as metro/core networks, metro/data center interconnects (DCI), campus networks, and business services. These features ensure reliable performance even in challenging field conditions.
“As emerging technologies like IoT, AI, and cloud computing place unprecedented demands on networks, technicians require fast and accurate certification of data center cabling for 800G,” said Kevin Oliver , Vice President and General Manager of Fiber and Access Solutions at VIAVI. “The new 800G transport module delivers comprehensive testing, optics form factor flexibility, and extensive support for coherent pluggable optics—all in a single unit optimized for field use.”
Key Features of the 800G Transport Module
The 800G transport module is engineered to address the evolving needs of modern network testing. Notable features include:
- Versatility : Supports both traditional AOC/DAC cable tests and newer AEC/ACC tests within a single unit, offering unparalleled flexibility.
- Integrated Tools : Combines OTDR for fiber optic cable troubleshooting and OSA for DWDM analysis, ensuring seamless diagnostics and performance validation.
- Form Factor Compatibility : Supports both QSFP and OSFP form factors, which are becoming increasingly popular in 800G applications compared to lower-speed alternatives.
- Scripted Workflows : Built-in workflows ensure consistent testing practices across different users, reducing human error and improving efficiency.
A Legacy of Innovation: The OneAdvisor 800 Platform
First introduced in 2020, the OneAdvisor 800 was designed to simplify large-scale network installations. It remains the industry’s most versatile modular testing solution, supporting transport, wireless/RF, and fiber optic environments. When paired with compatible tools like the INX 760 Probe Microscope and FiberComplete PRO , the platform enables technicians to rapidly install, activate, and troubleshoot virtually any network architecture.
With the addition of 800G field test capabilities , VIAVI now offers the industry’s broadest range of test solutions for 800G and beyond. This includes R&D qualification and volume production of optical network components and connectivity solutions capable of handling speeds up to 1.6T using platforms like ONE LabPro and MAP-300 .
