End-to-end testing for 800G optical communication networks

Network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) and optical R&D labs are facing growing challenges related to global network transformations such as 5G mobility, high-speed broadband networking up to 800 Gbit/s, consolidated data centers and edge networking.

In this fast-paced and complex environment, NEMs and labs need innovative and reliable testing equipment to design, manufacture or qualify emerging 800G technology. End-to-end testing that leverages the power of automation will be key to ensure high quality and cost-effectiveness.

Key takeaways:

• Key trends and challenges in designing and manufacturing 400G/800G optical transceivers
• End-to-end transceiver testing solutions from component, module and system perspective
