Insights
The integration of time-sensitive networking (TSN) standards testing is particularly significant as automotive networks become more complex. The platform's comprehensive testing capabilities across layers 2-7 address critical security and performance validation requirements that are essential for ADAS and autonomous vehicle development. The compact, fanless design makes it suitable for various testing environments, while the combined traffic generation and protocol testing capabilities on a single platform represent substantial efficiency improvements over traditional multi-tool approaches.
The ability to validate timing standards like 802.1AS and 802.1Qbv is essential for maintaining the integrity of time-sensitive applications in modern vehicles. The consolidated approach to security testing, combined with performance validation on a single platform, addresses the growing complexity of automotive network security requirements while streamlining the testing process. This is particularly important as vehicles become more connected and vulnerable to cyber threats.
The reduction in cabling requirements and support for higher data rates directly addresses automotive manufacturers' needs for cost optimization and performance enhancement. The platform's comprehensive testing capabilities could potentially reduce development cycles and time-to-market for new vehicle systems, providing Keysight with a competitive advantage in the automotive testing solutions market.

As vehicles move to zonal architectures, connected devices are a critical operational component. As a result, any system failures caused by connectivity and network issues can impact safety and potentially create life-threatening situations. To mitigate this risk, engineers must thoroughly test the conformance and performance of every system element before deploying them.
Key benefits of the Novus mini automotive platform include:
- Streamlines testing – The combined solution offers both traffic generation and protocol testing on one platform. With both functions on a single platform, engineers can optimize the testing process, save time, and simplify workflows without requiring multiple tools. It also accelerates troubleshooting and facilitates efficient remediation of issues.
- Helps lower costs and simplify wiring – Supports native automotive interfaces BASE-T1 and BASE-T1S that help lower costs and simplify wiring for automotive manufacturers, reducing the amount of required cabling and connectors. BASE-T1 and BASE-T1S offer a scalable and flexible single-pair Ethernet solution that can adapt to different vehicle models and configurations. These interfaces support higher data rates compared to traditional automotive communication protocols for faster, more efficient data transmission as vehicles become more connected.
- Compact, quiet, and affordable – Features the smallest footprint in the industry with outstanding cost per port, and ultra-quiet, fan-less operation.
- Validates layers 2-7 in complex automotive networks – Provides comprehensive performance and conformance testing that covers everything from data link and network protocols to transport, session, presentation, and application layers. Validating the interoperability of disparate components across layers is necessary in complex automotive networks where multiple systems must seamlessly work together.
- Protects networks from unauthorized access – Supports full line rate and automated conformance testing for TSN 802.1AS 2011/2020, 802.1Qbv, 802.1Qav, 802.1CB, and 802.1Qci. The platform tests critical timing standards for automotive networking, as precise timing and synchronization are crucial for the reliable and safe operation of ADAS and autonomous vehicle technologies. Standards like 802.1Qci help protect networks from unauthorized access and faulty or unsecure devices.
Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager, Network Test & Security Solutions, Keysight, said: "The Novus mini automotive provides real-world validation and automated conformance testing for the next generation of software defined vehicles. Our customers must trust that their products consistently meet quality standards and comply with regulatory requirements to avoid costly fines and penalties. The Novus mini allows us to deliver this confident assurance with a compact, integrated network test solution that can keep pace with constant innovation.”
