FITS-8CH delivers 8 transmit and 8 receive channels, supports PAM4 lane speeds from 53 Gb/s to 212.5 Gb/s, automated lane tuning, and integration with Keysight physical-layer test solutions for design-to-manufacturing validation.
Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) launched AresONE 1600GE, a rack‑mount 1.6T Ethernet AI workload emulation platform to validate next‑generation AI fabrics over emerging 224G SerDes lanes. The system combines high-density OSFP 1600 hardware, Keysight AI Data Center Builder software, and IxNetwork integration to emulate GPU cluster workloads, test link bring-up, and analyze protocol-to-application KPIs.
Keysight will demo AresONE 1600GE at OFC, March 17–19, 2026, enabling pre- and post-deployment validation of GPUs, AI NICs, and accelerators while addressing link integrity, congestion, and collective communication challenges.
Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) will showcase end-to-end solutions at OFC 2026 (March 15-19) in Los Angeles, demonstrating AI infrastructure validation from physics to packets. Demos include 1.6T workload emulation with KAI Data Center Builder, 224G interconnects, 448Gbps optical research, coherent Tx testing, and photonics IC test workflows.
Highlights emphasize scale-up/scale-out Ethernet, unified electro-optical flows, and test capabilities up to 170+ GHz and 120 GHz bandwidth to support hyperscale AI deployments.
Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) received the 2026 GTI Innovative Technology Breakthrough Award for its AI Device Testbed, presented at Mobile World Congress 2026. The testbed replicates real-world 5G-Advanced conditions in the lab to validate AI-enabled devices, enabling repeatable benchmarking of throughput, mobility, battery efficiency, and user experience.
The solution aims to reduce field-testing costs, speed R&D cycles, and prepare device makers and operators for AI-native future networks.
Spirent (NYSE:KEYS) launched SimXTRACT on March 5, 2026, a GNSS test tool that decomposes real-world field signals into discrete line-of-sight and multipath ray paths and converts them into controllable simulator scenarios.
SimXTRACT extracts metadata (Doppler, code error, power, AoA) to enable repeatable, high-fidelity lab testing and reduce time, cost, and field work for PNT development.
Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) and Qualcomm demonstrated an ML-based Channel State Information (CSI) compression method at MWC Barcelona 2026 that delivered more than 40% downlink throughput gain versus 3GPP eType II CSI reporting in four-layer (rank-4) operation during controlled lab validation.
The joint test used a Qualcomm 5G Modem-RF and Keysight network emulation, showing efficient CSI representation under fixed feedback constraints and supporting scalable advanced MIMO and AI-native physical-layer research toward 6G.
Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) and Qualcomm Technologies are collaborating to advance high-precision RF digital twins for massive MIMO in 5G-Advanced and AI-native 6G research. The teams will demonstrate a photorealistic RF digital twin validated against over-the-air measurements at Mobile World Congress 2026 (Hall 5 #5F41).
The workflow links Keysight Channel Studio RaySim raytracing, channel emulation, and Qualcomm’s massive MIMO prototype to compare KPIs such as RSRP, rank, and throughput and to generate channel datasets for AI/ML tasks like CSI compression and AI-assisted precoding.
Keysight (NYSE: KEYS), together with Samsung and NVIDIA, demonstrated an end-to-end AI-RAN validation workflow at MWC 2026 in Barcelona. The demonstration unified data generation, AI/ML training, and repeatable benchmarking for PUSCH channel estimation in a single automated test pipeline.
The workflow integrated Keysight AI-RAN Simulation Toolset, NVIDIA Aerial testbed platforms (GH200, DGX Spark, Aerial Omniverse digital twin) and commercial radio hardware to train and benchmark AI models from Samsung, NVIDIA, and Keysight before field testing.
Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) and MediaTek unveiled a working prototype advancing AI-driven uplink optimization and model life‑cycle management for radio access networks, to be demonstrated at Mobile World Congress 2026.
The prototype uses Keysight’s channel emulation and 3D ray‑tracing to validate RAN‑assisted AI, site‑specific retraining, and over‑the‑air model updates to improve uplink throughput, spectral efficiency, and reliability in realistic scenarios.
