Keysight Technologies (KEYS) announced that Korea Testing Laboratory selected its test solutions to expand validation capabilities for satellite communications.
The selection covers New Radio Non-Terrestrial Network (NR-NTN) radio frequency and radio resource management testing. Keysight’s wireless network emulation solutions enable KTL to add these capabilities to its portfolio, supporting testing before formal certification and certification activities. Recent Global Certification Forum approvals also expanded Keysight’s validated NR-NTN test case coverage.
Keysight Technologies (KEYS) announced FITS-16CH, expanding its digital-layer error performance testing portfolio for optical, active copper and passive copper interconnects.
The system has 16 transmit and 16 receive channels, twice the channel density of FITS-8CH. It supports 106G and 212G lane-rate validation for 800G and emerging 1.6T interconnects. FITS-16CH combines bit error ratio measurements, which track transmission errors, with forward error correction measurements. Keysight designed the platform to test complete interconnect assemblies across development, manufacturing and infrastructure deployments, with automated lane tuning and integration with other Keysight test instruments.
Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS) announced two new Ethernet test platforms for validating AI data center and hyperscale networking infrastructure.
SERT 1600GE targets data center switches and edge routers, while AresONE Plus 1600GE adds AI workload emulation and high-density switch testing. AresONE Plus provides eight 1.6T Ethernet ports in a single 2U appliance and integrates with Keysight AI Data Center Builder software. Through collaboration with NVIDIA, the platform supports performance and congestion testing of next-generation AI Ethernet fabrics before deployment.
Keysight Technologies (KEYS) introduced its Protocol Test Solution for PCIe 7.0 to support validation of AI and data center systems. The platform combines a protocol analyzer, exerciser, test platform and analysis software, supporting testing at 128 GT/s, or billion transfers per second. It covers initial device testing, troubleshooting, interoperability and compliance with PCI Express specifications.
Keysight said the integrated workflow helps engineers identify issues earlier and reduce validation risk without analyzer tuning. The company will demonstrate the solution at OCP Global Summit 2026, October 13–16, in San Jose, California.
Keysight Technologies (KEYS) will demonstrate Ethernet interoperability with Broadcom and Alibaba Cloud at the 2026 OCP Global Summit, October 12–15.
The demonstrations in San Jose will feature Link Layer Retry (LLR), a mechanism for recovering lost frames. With Broadcom, Keysight will show LLR at 1.6T speed using 200G serializer/deserializer links between its INPT-1600GE and a Tomahawk 6-based switch. With Alibaba Cloud, it will demonstrate LLR and Credit-Based Flow Control (CBFC) at 400GE speed using 100G links and an Alibaba switch based on Broadcom Tomahawk Ultra. Keysight aims to validate these transport technologies across different vendor implementations for Ethernet-based AI networks.
Keysight Technologies (KEYS) will showcase AI infrastructure validation solutions at the 2026 OCP Global Summit in San Jose, October 12–15. Joint demonstrations will involve Alibaba Cloud, Cisco, HPE, and NVIDIA.
The showcase includes two new 1.6T Ethernet test platforms, SERT 1600GE and AresONE Plus 1600GE, and demonstrations of interoperability across vendors. Other demonstrations will simulate AI workloads across networks within and between data centers, including 64x800GE endpoints. Keysight AI Inference Builder will generate workloads against a live inference system while tracking computing and network performance. Keysight expects these demonstrations to help developers evaluate system behavior before deployment.
Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS) introduced the Velocity 4900 Series of automation switches for software-controlled physical connectivity in network test labs.
The first models are the Velocity 4902, supporting Ethernet speeds from 100 Mbps to 100 Gbps, and the Velocity 4906, supporting 100 Mbps to 25 Gbps. The switches allow teams to configure test connections through software and share equipment remotely. They integrate with the broader Velocity portfolio for lab orchestration and automated development workflows. Both models are available for order immediately, with initial deliveries planned for January 2027.
Keysight Technologies (KEYS) has introduced agentic AI capabilities in its design software, enabling engineers to automate radio frequency design tasks.
The capabilities are available now in ADS 2027 and RF Circuit Simulation Professional. Model Context Protocol servers connect customers’ AI agents to the software. Engineers can record workflows as reusable macros and convert graphical designs into Python code that agents can read. Agents can execute tasks requested in natural language, then run Keysight simulations to validate their output.
Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS) will demonstrate radio frequency, 6G and AI solutions at European Microwave Week on October 4-9, 2026.
The demonstrations will take place at booth A20, ExCeL London, UK. They will cover high-frequency component measurements, signal generation and analysis, interference detection, and positioning, navigation and timing testing. Keysight will also demonstrate satellite link emulation, 6G waveform analysis and AI-enabled design and simulation workflows. As a platinum sponsor, the company will mark 25 years of support for the event.
Keysight Technologies (KEYS) introduced a 20 GHz analog signal generator for testing advanced devices.
The XG7-class PSG combines two independent channels in a 2U chassis. Keysight says the design can increase test capacity without requiring additional rack space. The generator provides calibrated output power up to +22 dBm and supports reuse of existing test automation through SCPI command compatibility.
