As global industries continue to evolve with the acceleration of 5G, AI, and personalized healthcare, the demand for precision, scalability, and speed has never been higher. VIAVI Solutions has emerged as a critical enabler in meeting these demands—bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and real-world performance. From optical technologies supporting biomedical advancements to sophisticated network emulation platforms powering the next generation of wireless infrastructure, VIAVI’s impact is both deep and wide-ranging.

Optical Technologies Revolutionizing Biomedical Applications

The convergence of optics and healthcare has sparked a new era of innovation. In biomedical applications, VIAVI’s advanced optical technologies are playing a pivotal role in improving diagnostic accuracy, therapeutic precision, and personal health monitoring.

Through its optical solutions for biomedical applications, VIAVI enables performance in critical areas such as fluorescence imaging, laser aesthetics, and point-of-care diagnostics. Their proprietary wafer-level processing (WLP) and light management capabilities are used to create custom filters and beam shaping components for devices like pulse oximeters and glucose monitors—technologies that are essential to the global shift toward personalized medicine.

By providing miniaturized, high-performance optics for wearable medical devices, VIAVI is helping to make healthcare more proactive and accessible, allowing continuous monitoring without compromising accuracy or usability.

The Network Digital Twin: A Scalable Model for a Connected Future

With the emergence of Open RAN, AI-based RAN Intelligent Controllers (RIC), and the upcoming demands of 6G, networks must now operate under unprecedented complexity. The VIAVI Network Digital Twin is designed to meet this challenge.

This cloud-based emulation environment enables operators, equipment manufacturers, and semiconductor vendors to design, test, and optimize network components in a virtual setting. By accurately simulating real-world RAN behavior—incorporating spatial data, terrain, and user movement—VIAVI’s digital twin framework delivers invaluable insights without the risks and costs of field testing.

At Mobile World Congress 2025, VIAVI showcased the scalability of this solution through its city-scale 6G Digital Twin. This demonstration not only underlined the platform’s capability in AI-enhanced optimization but also highlighted how digital twins will be foundational in validating Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), advanced positioning systems, and immersive extended reality (XR) services.

Accelerating Open RAN with VALOR

A major barrier to Open RAN adoption is the ability to validate and certify multi-vendor deployments. Enter VIAVI’s VALOR—a first-of-its-kind, lab-as-a-service platform purpose-built for Open RAN interoperability testing.

Standing for “VIAVI Automated Lab-as-a-Service for Open RAN,” VALOR is more than just a testbed. It offers automated orchestration of test resources, expert support, and a neutral environment for end-to-end evaluation of O-RUs, O-DUs, and RICs. The recent addition of a state-of-the-art RF anechoic chamber has elevated the platform’s capability even further, enabling Massive MIMO over-the-air (OTA) validation across up to 16 parallel spatial layers.

In April 2025, Metanoia’s O-RU successfully completed end-to-end OTA testing using the VALOR chamber—an achievement that reinforced VALOR’s unique ability to validate advanced beamforming techniques and ensure compliance with O-RAN Alliance standards.

By eliminating guesswork and reducing the time to deployment, VALOR is driving real-world adoption of Open RAN and laying the groundwork for more flexible, cost-efficient mobile networks.

ONE LabPro: 1.6Tb/s Ethernet Testing at Scale

In the race to build AI-driven infrastructure and next-gen data centers, Ethernet testing must not only keep pace—it must lead. VIAVI’s ONE LabPro platform delivers on this front, offering unmatched visibility and validation capabilities for high-speed Ethernet testing environments.

The latest updates to the platform include support for electrical 212G/lane, making the ONE LabPro ONE-1600 the world’s first 1.6Tb/s test solution. With the rise of hyperscale data centers, cloud-native architectures, and AI training workloads, system integrators and equipment vendors require precise performance metrics.

ONE LabPro provides real-time visibility into packet delay variation, switch fabric behavior, and port-to-port latency, enabling labs to stress-test their platforms before commercial rollout. Whether validating 800G switch chips or benchmarking router performance, ONE LabPro offers the scalability and accuracy required by today’s most demanding network environments.

MAP-300: Redefining Optical Manufacturing and Test Efficiency

At the intersection of cost-efficiency and performance lies the MAP-300 Multiple Application Platform—VIAVI’s flagship modular test solution for optical device development and production.

The MAP-300 platform offers a flexible, scalable architecture for lab and manufacturing environments alike. It supports a wide range of applications, including insertion loss testing, return loss, polarization-dependent loss (PDL), and wavelength characterization. With support for automated workflows and remote configuration, it allows manufacturers to optimize throughput while maintaining the highest standards of quality.

During MWC 2025, VIAVI showcased how MAP-300 is being leveraged to support quantum key distribution (QKD) testing—a breakthrough for secure optical communication. As security becomes more intertwined with optical infrastructure, the ability to validate QKD systems in real-time demonstrates the platform’s adaptability and future-readiness.

A Unified Vision for Innovation

What sets VIAVI apart is not just the breadth of its product offerings, but the coherence of its innovation strategy. Whether simulating entire cities for 6G network planning, enabling the deployment of Open RAN at scale, or equipping biomedical engineers with miniaturized optics for wearables, VIAVI’s technologies are interconnected by a common goal: precision, efficiency, and progress.

By collaborating with ecosystem leaders—from semiconductor providers to global network operators—VIAVI continues to push the envelope across multiple verticals. Its commitment to open standards, customer-centric design, and engineering excellence positions the company as an essential partner in shaping the networks and devices of tomorrow.
