Viavi Solutions Inc Stock Price, News & Analysis

VIAVI Solutions' subsidiary Inertial Labs has launched a visual-aided inertial navigation system (VINS) designed to maintain accurate flight paths for UAVs in GPS-denied environments. The system addresses growing concerns over GPS jamming and spoofing incidents, which have reached up to 700 cases daily globally. VINS integrates Maxar Raptor's 3D vision-based positioning software with satellite imagery to maintain precise navigation, achieving horizontal position accuracy within 35m and vertical position within 5m in GPS-denied conditions. The system performs even better with GPS enabled, achieving 1m horizontal and sub-2m vertical accuracy. VIAVI also announced its RSR Transcoder v2.0 with GPS constellation simulator, with both products being demonstrated at the 2025 Joint Navigation Conference.

VIAVI Solutions (NASDAQ: VIAV) and 3-GIS have announced a strategic partnership to enhance fiber fault location capabilities, with their integrated solution already deployed at Windstream Wholesale. The partnership combines VIAVI's ONMSi Remote Fiber Test System with 3-GIS's geospatial capabilities, enabling faster and more accurate fiber network maintenance.

The solution provides instant detection of fiber impairments and streamlines maintenance operations by offering a single source of information to technicians. At Windstream Wholesale, the integration has automated previously manual processes, allowing for proactive customer notification of issues and faster fault resolution. The partnership comes at a crucial time as fiber deployment surges across transport networks, data centers, and enterprises to support AI/ML and high-performance computing.

VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) has unveiled its second-generation RSR Transcoder, designed to maintain operational capability in GPS/GNSS-denied environments. The device addresses the rising global incidents of GPS jamming and spoofing in electronic warfare, which affect military operations and critical sectors like aviation and emergency services.

The new RSR Transcoder features advanced Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) capabilities, including GPS full constellation simulation and patented algorithm for converting various assured inputs. Key features include:

• Universal GPS L1 and L2 signals output with C/A-code and P-code
• Ruggedized IP68 enclosures for land, sea, and air platforms
• 100 Hz output rate with ICD-GPS-153 interface
• 4-, 8-, and 24-hour holdover oscillator options

The product will be showcased at the 2025 Joint Navigation Conference from June 2-5 in the Greater Cincinnati Area.

VIAVI Solutions announced that Metanoia Communications' JURA Open Radio Unit (O-RU) has successfully completed end-to-end over-the-air (OTA) validation at the VIAVI Automated Lab-as-a-Service (VALOR™). This marks the first product validation at VALOR's new RF-shielded anechoic chamber in Chandler, Arizona. The testing ensures compliance with O-RAN and 3GPP specifications. Metanoia's JURA O-RU, a 4T4R 24dbm 5G FR1 radio unit for sub-6 GHz bands, underwent comprehensive testing using reference O-CU and O-DU components. The VALOR RF chamber, developed with ETS-Lindgren, offers Test-as-a-Service for Massive MIMO and beamforming OTA validation, supporting up to 16 parallel spatial layers. VALOR provides access to over 500 test cases compliant with various specifications and is authorized by the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) for system performance certification. The lab serves AI-RAN Alliance members and customers referred by AT&T and Verizon's ACCoRD.

VIAVI Solutions (NASDAQ: VIAV) has announced its participation in the MORANE-2 project, a European initiative testing Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) specifications. As one of few monitoring suppliers in the project, VIAVI will deploy its EVOIA Drive Test and EVOIA Assure solutions to test and monitor FRMCS prototypes, which will replace the current GSM-R system expected to phase out by 2030.

The MORANE-2 project will run for 34 months (2024-2027) and aims to validate product development standards for railway communications. The project will help include FRMCS specifications in the Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI), ensuring efficient, sustainable, and resilient railway communications across Europe.

VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) has launched the IMU-H100, a tactical-grade MEMS inertial measurement unit through its subsidiary Inertial Labs.
