Chandler – September 13, 2026 -- VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) will present a full-stack data center test portfolio at booth 1001 during ECOC 2026, running September 21-23 at the FYCMA exhibition center in Malaga, Spain.
Hyperscalers push 1.6T rollouts while planning for 3.2T networks
Cloud providers are deploying 1.6T technologies within racks, across clusters and between data centers as AI infrastructure scales, with 3.2T architectures already in planning. These builds depend on 16x224G and 8x448G lane designs enabled by Silicon Photonics, Co-packaged Optics (CPO) and dense optical connectivity, driving sharp growth in fiber density and multifiber interconnects.
ONE LabPro ONE-1600 gains flexible IHS/RHS configuration for 1.6T transceivers
VIAVI will demonstrate its ONE-1600 platform, described as the industry's first fully integrated test solution for pluggable 1.6T transceivers, now supporting combined IHS and RHS interfaces in a single module. A new ONE-1600 ERP variant targets network equipment manufacturers and production environments with a reduced-price, core-feature configuration.
TestCenter D2 becomes first Ultra Ethernet Transport validation tool for AI fabrics
The TestCenter D2 platform enables Layer 2 and 3 testing of 1.6T AI workloads, identifying interconnect bottlenecks, latency hotspots and fault-tolerance gaps that constrain GPU utilization. VIAVI calls it the industry's first UET validation solution across the Ultra Ethernet ecosystem.
MAP-300 platform adds four new modules for CPO, SiPh and quantum-network testing
The MAP-300 manufacturing test platform now includes a Remote Head Polarity Mapper, a High-Density Variable Optical Attenuator, a High-Density Optical Power Meter and a High-Density In-Line Optical Power Meter, addressing high-density connectivity and sub-system manufacturing. The platform also supports quantum key distribution and hybrid network evaluation.
DORC acquisition brings connector end-face geometry testing to VIAVI's floor debut
VIAVI will present fiber surface topology measurement products stemming from its acquisition of the Direct Optical Research Company (DORC) product line for the first time, extending its interferometry, inspection and cleaning portfolio for connectivity manufacturers.
MAP-2800 debuts as first rack-mounted Ethernet tester spanning 10M to 800G
The new MAP-2800 test head operates standalone or with the centralized Fusion test system, integrating with handheld testers, virtual agents and smart SFPs to automate field testing and reduce truck rolls for lower-bandwidth sites.
DCX-700 targets faster MPO/MMC certification for high fiber-count data centers
VIAVI will demonstrate the DCX-700 test set for automated tier-1 certification and validation of high fiber-count networks, aimed at accelerating large-scale MPO/MMC-based connectivity deployment for data center operators. The company will also showcase Hollow Core Fiber testing capabilities via its T-BERD/MTS-4000 and OneAdvisor800 platforms, supporting lower-latency, higher-performance optical infrastructure.
