Supporting network operators in APAC
EXFO empowers fiber network connectivity throughout the APAC region, from the deployment of passive optical networks (PON) to the progression towards the adoption of next-generation PON technology.
To help address the increasing deployment of fiber networks to serve rural areas and remote communities in APAC and the growing demands for higher-speed networks to meet data center requirements for data, cloud services, and AI, EXFO provides operators, utilities, and contractors with comprehensive test solutions that enable technicians to efficiently test, certify, and troubleshoot.
EXFO solutions also enable real-time visibility into field job quality and progress. These smart solutions automate and simplify complex routines, making it easier to develop, deploy, and maintain ever-evolving networks in APAC, and helping to alleviate resource and technical expertise limitations.
EXFO’s latest news: paving the way for the generative AI revolution
EXFO shared innovations in fiber optic electrical and optical testing and interconnectivity supporting rapid adoption of generative AI at OFC 2024 in San Diego the week of March 25, 2024. Datacenter, cloud, and network providers will benefit from EXFO’s automated PIC testing, complete electrical-to-optical transceiver testing, and the latest 400/800G network and datacenter test innovations.
Widespread adoption of generative AI has put pressure on providers to ramp up network and interconnect speeds while ensuring high-quality communications with low latency. EXFO’s lab and field solutions in PIC and transceiver testing are supporting burgeoning manufacturing production required to supply growing demand for 800G high-speed networks.
PIC testing is taking a huge step forward with the introduction of EXFO’s OPAL-MD multi-die PIC testing station, a compact, and automated probe station. As part of the OPAL series spanning wafer to single-die characterization, the OPAL-MD is the industry’s most accurate, repeatable, and traceable PIC testing solution, delivering unsurpassed fast and efficient testing.
Lab and field testing have advanced with EXFO’s complete electrical-to-optical testing for high-speed systems, and the industry’s first compact validation tool for 800ZR coherent pluggables. Available in rackmount or portable configurations, EXFO’s modular 400G, 800G and 1.6TB solutions bring speed and flexibility to customers’ test programs.
