Keysight Collaborates with Nokia to Demonstrate the First 800 Gigabit Ethernet Readiness and Interoperability Public Test
Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS) has successfully partnered with Nokia to demonstrate the first public 800 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) test. This validation will enhance the reliability of high-speed optical connections in service provider and data center environments. Conducted in June 2022 at a Nokia event in Madrid, the test utilized Keysight's AresONE 800GE platform and Nokia's 7750 Service Router. The collaboration addresses challenges in validating next-generation optics with a focus on scalability, security, and energy efficiency in network infrastructure.

Enables network operators to validate the reliability of high bandwidth and scale 800 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) in service provider and data center environments
With the move to the 800GE pluggable optics on front panel ports, interconnect and link reliability requires a new round of validation cycles to support carrier-class environments. These high-speed interfaces create a unique challenge as new 800GE capable silicon devices, optical transceivers and high bandwidth Ethernet speeds must be accurately tested.
The readiness testing was conducted at Nokia’s private SReXperts customer event in
Nokia’s FP5 silicon delivers 112G SerDes which enables 800GE support in hardware. FP5 enables networks to efficiently scale capacity and concurrently IP subscriber services while maintaining integrity, providing advanced protection against escalating network security threats, and lowering power consumption. Nokia is the first vendor to ship high-density 800GE systems this year with platforms supporting a range of 36 x 800GE in compact fixed platforms to 432 ports of 800GE in the flagship 7750 SR-14s.
“The move to 800GE presents service providers and vendors in the supply chain with new challenges to validate chips, optical transceivers, or networking equipment port electronics,” said
“We are extremely pleased to partner with Keysight and showcase our FP5 silicon in this important, world’s first demonstration,” said
