EXFO’s Latest News: Paving the Way for the Generative AI Revolution
EXFO showcased innovations in fiber optic electrical and optical testing and interconnectivity at OFC 2024 in San Diego during the week of March 25, 2024. Datacenter, cloud, and network providers will benefit from:
- Automated PIC (photonic integrated circuit) testing
- Complete electrical-to-optical transceiver testing
- 400G/800G network and data center test advancements
As demand for generative AI accelerates, providers face pressure to increase network speeds while maintaining high-quality, low-latency communication. EXFO’s lab and field solutions support growing manufacturing requirements for 800G high-speed networks.
PIC Testing Breakthrough: The new OPAL-MD multi-die PIC testing station — part of the complete OPAL series — is the industry’s most accurate, repeatable, and traceable compact testing station for wafer-to-die characterization.
High-Speed System Testing: EXFO has advanced lab and field testing with:
- Electrical-to-optical testing for high-speed systems
- The industry’s first compact validation tool for 800ZR coherent pluggables
- Modular solutions for 400G, 800G, and 1.6TB test programs
