Inertial Labs, a subsidiary of Viavi Solutions Inc., released PCMasterPro 1.16 on April 16, 2026, a new software platform that enhances 3‑D terrain and feature modeling for engineers, cartographers, surveyors and VFX designers.
The update delivers up to 200% faster processing speeds and introduces automated capabilities and real‑time haptics to streamline data‑processing workflows. It expands export options to include PCD, PLY, E57, LAS and LAZ formats, adds support for additional coordinate systems, accuracy reporting and colorization, and is designed to work with Inertial Labs’ Remote Sensing Payload Instrument (RESEPI), a dual‑antenna GNSS‑aided inertial navigation system that captures LiDAR, camera and communication data for point‑cloud generation.
The launch positions Inertial Labs within the growing digital‑twin and autonomous‑system navigation markets, sectors that Viavi has targeted through its diversification strategy. Viavi’s acquisition of Inertial Labs for $150 million in December 2024 and the $410 million purchase of Spirent Communications’ high‑speed Ethernet and network security business in March 2025 have expanded its portfolio in data‑center and defense segments, reinforcing the company’s move beyond telecom testing.
Viavi’s recent financial performance underscores the strategic fit of the new product. In fiscal year 2026, the company reported net revenue of $299.1 million in Q1 (up 25.6% YoY) and $369.3 million in Q2 (up 36.4% YoY). Earlier in the year, Q4 FY2025 revenue was $290.5 million (up 15.3% YoY), while Q1 FY2025 revenue was $238.2 million (down 3.9% YoY) and Q4 FY2024 revenue was $252.0 million (down 4.4% YoY). Management highlighted strong demand from data‑center and aerospace‑defense customers as the primary driver of this growth.
While the competitive landscape for 3‑D terrain modeling software is not detailed in the release, the expanded export formats, automation, and haptic feedback position PCMasterPro 1.16 to compete with established solutions by offering faster processing and richer workflow integration.
PCMasterPro 1.16 represents a significant operational milestone for Inertial Labs and reinforces Viavi’s broader strategy to capture expanding digital‑twin and autonomous navigation markets, strengthening its presence in high‑growth data‑center and defense sectors.
