Awards and Recognition
Keysight’s AresONE GE won an Interop Best of Show award for demonstrating leading-edge Layer 1-3 test capabilities by using 800GE over 106Gb/s electrical lanes to test network infrastructure, optical transceivers, and copper interconnects.
Data-intensive applications like AI, high resolution video streaming, IoT, 5G, edge, and cloud computing are fueling the need for secure and reliable 800GE network infrastructure. The AresONE 800GE helps you validate equipment interoperability and performance, enabling support of future technologies and scalability requirements.
Challenge: Characterize network device performance before deployment in a 800GE-capable production network
The need for more bandwidth is being driven by several major influences that are happening simultaneously. The response to the unrelenting demand for greater bandwidth must include a lower cost per gigabit of traffic, lower power consumption of network devices, and little or no increase in data center footprint. This is a tough challenge. Devices that support up to 106Gb/s electrical lane signaling, PAM4 encoding, and RS (544,514) Forward Error correction double the Ethernet gigabits per second by allowing 800Gb/s throughput in the same form factor and with the same power as required for 400Gb/s per second.
High-speed serial communications links, must transition from today’s top Ethernet speed of 53 Gb/s to the new 106 Gb/s. A 53Gb/s serializer/deserialize (SerDes) PHY can support 1x400GE, 2x200GE, 4x100GE, and 8x50GE speeds per port. A 106Gb/s SerDes reduces the number of electrical lanes. As a result, it doubles the Ethernet speed support on a per-port basis to: 2x400GE, 4x200GE and 8x100GE, and 1x800GE.
Native 800GE port speeds will bring better economies of scale, higher bandwidth for increased network traffic throughput without increasing footprint. All of this facilitates the development and deployment of high port count 800GE network equipment configurations. However, at such high rates, the high-speed serial paths must be carefully tuned and tested for the best signal integrity, lower BERs, and reliable long duration FEC Symbol Error Correction performance.
