The new Interconnect Test System (ITS) software, paired with the INPT-1600GE traffic emulator, transforms how silicon, transceivers, and network equipment are tested—eliminating manual processes and accelerating test suite automation without the need for complex coding.
It enables faster, more reliable deployments by removing coding barriers, improving team collaboration and streamlining validation with reusable, automated test data.
The new Interconnect and Network Performance Tester 1600GE, with ITS software, delivers a holistic system that can organise, store, and use data intelligently to automate interconnect validation in high-speed Ethernet networks and AI data centres.
Andy Moorwood, Vice President, Hardware Engineering, Network Test & Security Solutions, Keysight, said: “Keysight’s ITS software is the industry’s first comprehensive solution for validating performance in high-speed Ethernet and AI data centre interconnects. It helps reduce device failures and drastically reduces the time needed to characterise various interconnects. Moving from a manual and tedious process to one that enables faster, more accurate test suite automation without complex programming significantly boosts productivity.”
Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager, Network Test & Security Solutions, Keysight, said: “Keysight is working with the majority of global standards bodies and manufacturers of silicon chips, optical and copper interconnects using 224Gb/s electrical lane interfaces to accelerate development of the ecosystem for 800GE and 1.6T AI network infrastructures. Our 1.6T and 800GE hardware platforms, combined with the ITS software, enable critical interconnect performance evaluations and tremendous gains in testbed productivity. This equips our customers with the tools they need to deploy highly stable and reliable solutions into their networks.”
Keysight will showcase the ITS software and high-speed Ethernet hardware platform in booth #1301 from 1–3 April 2025 at the OFC Conference, Moscone Centre, San Francisco, California, USA.
