From 6G, SatComms and Dark NOCs to AIOps,
O-RAN and Quantum Security Testing, VIAVI will demonstrate its
latest innovations and services at Hall 5, Stand #5A18
CHANDLER, Ariz., Feb. 19,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- VIAVI Solutions Inc. (VIAVI)
(NASDAQ: VIAV) today announced it will highlight its latest network
optimization technologies at MWC Barcelona from March 3-6, 2025.
VIAVI will showcase a wide array of technologies such as its 6G
Forward initiatives, AI-driven digital twins for network
optimization, Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) validation, resilient
Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT), AIOps to enable network
operators and their ecosystems to drive the Telco-to-Techco
transition, as well as interoperability in open and disparate
networks.
"The past year has seen tremendous change, with 6G taking a
significant leap forward in the lab, high-speed satellite networks
becoming a reality, and AI increasingly being leveraged to enhance
tools, simulations and operations. At the same time, the industry
needs to be vigilant about the growing attack surface including
open interfaces, PNT and even quantum computing," said Sameh
Yamany, Chief Technology Officer, VIAVI. "In this dynamic
landscape, network testing and optimization is becoming ever more
critical and VIAVI is proud to support our partners in the delivery
of these advances."
VIAVI will be based in Hall 5 at Stand #5A18, with multiple
technology showcases on display:
6G and Extended Reality:
VIAVI will highlight its
research and innovations in 6G, including:
- Energy-efficient neuromorphic receivers that replace several
signal-processing blocks – channel estimation, equalization, and
symbol de-mapping – with a single neural network, optimized for
AI-based modulations
- An innovative goal-oriented and semantic communication
framework with advanced multiple access for metaverse avatars,
showcasing advancements in wireless Extended Reality (XR)
- 6G Position-Enhanced AI/ML-based beam management for FR3
centimeter, including an advanced neural network-based algorithm
efficiently fusing communication measurements with sensing
information from a real environment
- A joint communications and sensing (JCAS) testing solution,
with in-house real-time ray tracing technology to emulate
communications and sensing channels in a digital twin of the
electromagnetic environment
- A digital twin of a real campus environment, leveraging
VIAVI's real-time ray tracing technology for RF emulation
5G and Open RAN – From the Lab to the Field:
As 5G
and Open RAN continue to be deployed worldwide, VIAVI enables
validation of more advanced capabilities in the lab, supports
efficient commissioning in the field, and trains RAN Intelligent
Controllers (RIC) and Service Management and Orchestration
frameworks (SMO) and their apps. Demonstrations will include:
- M-MIMO / MU-MIMO – VIAVI will demonstrate an O-RU testbed
for massive MIMO, multi-user MIMO and beamforming, including user
equipment (UE) emulation extending up to 16 layers with multiple
UEs
- O-RAN – VIAVI and partners will demonstrate an
end-to-end conformance, performance, interoperability and
cybersecurity multi-vendor O-RAN testbed, incorporating emulated
and real user equipment (UEs)
- Rethinking field deployment – VIAVI's team of experts will
highlight solutions ranging from resilient timing, advanced EMF and
PIM measurements to cloud integration
Critical Communications:
NTN networks have moved from
standardization to commercialization, allowing network operators to
achieve the ubiquitous coverage necessary for critical
communications. Further, PNT services that are vital to the
operation of critical infrastructure are increasingly susceptible
to jamming and spoofing, and must be assured. VIAVI will
demonstrate its NTN digital twin testbed and resilient PNT
solutions.
Quantum computing at scale is expected to break public-key
encryption, and governments worldwide have issued directives for
research institutions and industry to proactively address this
threat. VIAVI will demonstrate its TeraVM Security Test, which
offers performance testing capability for Post-Quantum Cryptography
(PQC) system deployments, with industry-first support for PQC
algorithms mandated by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST). In addition, the MAP-300 Multiple Application
Platform for quantum key distribution (QKD) testing and
optimization will also be showcased.
Intelligent Twins:
Applying AI and machine-learning
algorithms to RF propagation facilitates better large-scale digital
twin network simulations, which will be vital in the shift to 6G
networks, and enables them to dynamically adapt to changing
environments and conditions. As networks become more complex,
digital twins help operators test, optimize, and innovate in a
controlled environment without endangering their live network.
VIAVI will highlight its AI-based digital twin demonstration
comprising solutions such as AIOps, AI-RAN scenario generation,
near real-time ray tracing and cloud-based automation platform.
Telco to Techco:
As digital technologies advance
and consumer demands shift, the global telecommunications industry
is rapidly changing, requiring faster networks and lower latencies
to support emerging applications such as IoT, AI and
cloud computing. New technologies help evolve Telcos
to future-ready Techcos, which are characterized
by end-to-end visibility, automation, efficiency, and
reliability. VIAVI will demonstrate its solutions that
support this transition, including data-driven automation,
AI-assisted RAN optimization, AIOps,
LaaS/TaaS, and optical transceiver
testing for network equipment running at 800G and
1.6T.
The Dark NOC:
With modern multi-vendor,
multi-domain networks running ever more data-intensive
applications, the need to automate network oversight and remove
human-caused delays becomes imperative. VIAVI
will showcase its NITRO® AIOps
solution, which offers end-to-end visibility, consolidated
inventory management, anomaly detection, root cause analysis, and
autonomous issue resolution.
From March 3-5 at 3-4 PM CET at its booth, VIAVI will stream
real-time Open RAN remote testing demonstrations from its VIAVI
Automated Lab-as-a-Service (VALOR™) Lab in Chandler, AZ. VALOR is funded by the U.S.
National Telecommunications and Infrastructure Administration
(NTIA) Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund (PWSCIF).
