Keysight Technologies announced a suite of new test solutions designed to validate 1.6‑terabit optical networks, along with a 220‑GHz Lightwave Component Analyzer that accelerates the design and validation of 1.6/3.2‑Tb/s optical transceivers. The company also revealed a strategic collaboration with Salience Labs to create the first optical circuit switch (OCS) testing environment for silicon photonics‑based OCS designs.
The 224‑gigabit test solutions provide end‑to‑end electrical and optical validation from research and development through high‑volume manufacturing. The 220‑GHz analyzer offers the high‑frequency measurement capability required for next‑generation silicon photonics and high‑speed optical interconnects, positioning Keysight as a key supplier for AI infrastructure buildouts. These products address the growing demand for 1.6‑terabit interconnects in AI data centers, a market that has seen rapid expansion in recent years.
Keysight’s Q1 2026 revenue reached $1.60 billion, a 23% year‑over‑year increase from $1.30 billion in Q1 2025. The growth was driven by strong demand in the Communications Solutions Group and the Electronic Industrial Solutions Group, both of which reported solid performance in the AI infrastructure and semiconductor testing segments. The company’s long‑term commitment to 224‑gigabit Ethernet test solutions, dating back to 2022, underpins the current product launch.
In recent earnings calls, CEO Satish Dhanasekaran emphasized the company’s leadership and sustained demand for its solutions across AI infrastructure and other markets. Dr. Joachim Peerlings, Vice President of Network and Data Center Solutions, highlighted the importance of these new validation technologies for enabling high‑speed optical transceivers and OCS designs.
The partnership with Salience Labs will provide a dedicated testing platform that supports silicon photonics‑based OCS designs, a critical component for future AI data center networks. Keysight plans to showcase the new solutions at the OFC Conference in Los Angeles from March 17‑19, 2026, where industry leaders will evaluate the capabilities of the 224‑gigabit test platform and the 220‑GHz analyzer.
Analysts have revised their earnings estimates upward for Keysight, reflecting confidence in the company’s continued growth in AI infrastructure and communications markets. The new product launch and collaboration reinforce Keysight’s position as a leading provider of high‑performance test and measurement solutions for next‑generation optical networks.
The introduction of these advanced test solutions and the strategic partnership with Salience Labs signal Keysight’s commitment to supporting the next wave of AI data center infrastructure, positioning the company to capture a growing share of the high‑speed optical market while maintaining strong financial performance across its core segments.
