Keysight Technologies, a technology company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, introduced new 800G test solutions for validating electrical and optical interfaces to speed the development of next-generation data center technologies, including the first 100Gb/s transmitter and receiver pre-conformance test solution.
Testing physical-layer interconnects
The new 800G test solutions include the first 100Gb/s transmitter and receiver pre-conformance test solution. 800G technology is developed to meet growing demand in network capacity at the desired cost and power consumption targets of service providers and data center operators.

Dr. Joachim Peerlings, Vice President of Network and Data Center Solutions at Keysight Technologies, said,
“Access to a portfolio of 800G test solutions across physical and protocol layers, from simulation to design, validation, conformance and manufacturing, enables our customers to verify interoperability and simplify testing across the workflow using common, uniform interfaces and software automation.”
800G ecosystem consists of optical components, chipset, switch, and semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) vendors, integrators, to speed design, development, test, and validation across the entire design cycle.
New Keysight 800G test solutions include 100Gb/s electrical conformance test, pre-silicon design verification, 200Gbps solution for 800G research and pathfinding, physical layer test system (PLTS).
