Business Wire
- Delivers Layer 1-3 Ethernet testing on a single platform that
supports data center interconnect speeds from 10GE to 800GE
- Validates network equipment interoperability and bandwidth
performance to support transition to 800GE with capability to test
slower, legacy Ethernet speeds
- Supports all required forward error correction types and a full
array of in-depth link tuning, stability, reliability, and
performance measurement statistics
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) introduces the
AresONE-M 800GE, the industry’s most comprehensive Layer 1-3
Ethernet performance test platform, supporting data center
interconnect speeds from 10GE to 800GE.

Data-intensive applications like artificial intelligence,
high-resolution video streaming, the internet of things, 5G, edge
computing, and cloud computing are fueling the need for secure and
reliable 800GE network infrastructure. Deploying 800GE into
existing network infrastructures creates complex testing challenges
for network engineers, who must contend with a variety of new and
legacy networking protocols, multiple Ethernet speeds, and a vast
array of fiber and copper data center interconnects (DCI). To
properly validate the performance of network infrastructures and
network system designs, equipment manufacturers and network
operators must have a flexible test platform that can scale to
evaluate mixed-speed networks supporting a broad set of connections
and network protocols.
The new Keysight AresONE-M 800GE meets this need by delivering
the only Layer 1-3 Ethernet networking and infrastructure test
solution supporting the most comprehensive DCI speeds from 10GE to
800GE in a single platform. With this range of capabilities, the
AresONE-M 800GE enables design engineers and data center operators
to validate networking equipment interoperability and bandwidth
performance while supporting the transition to 400GE and 800GE
networks with the capability to also test slower, legacy Ethernet
speeds.
Benefits of the AresONE-M 800GE include:
- Comprehensive Ethernet speeds – 1x800GE, 2x400GE,
4x200GE, and 8x100GE.
- PAM4 and NRZ signaling support – Features 106.25 Gb/s
host electrical lane signaling with the ability to downshift to the
lower electrical lane speeds of 53Gb/s and 25Gb/s for 400GE and
100GE speeds.
- Single test platform – Supports all required forward
error correction (FEC) types and a full array of in-depth link
tuning, stability, reliability, and performance measurement
statistics.
- Complete 800GE high-scale protocol emulation and performance
testing – Provides the protocol support required to test
enterprise, metro, and cloud-capable Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching
and routing network equipment through the IxNetwork software
application.
- Highest port density available today for 800GE test
systems – Supports 8 ports in a single, 2-rackmount unit
chassis with additional configurations for 2 and 4 ports.
The AresONE-M 800GE uses an integrated physical layer Digital
Signal Processor (DSP) from Credo Technology Group for fast and
efficient data transfer with low latency that enables data transit
requirements of hyperscalers, enterprises, 5G carriers, and service
providers. The Credo chip also optimizes power consumption to
reduce operational costs, minimize heat dissipation, and meet
energy-efficient standards for advanced networks.
Bill Brennan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Credo
Technology Group, said: “Keysight has once again delivered a
milestone product with the AresONE-M 800GE, a comprehensive
Ethernet Layer 1-3 test platform designed to meet the challenges
faced with scaling and supporting next generation artificial
intelligence / machine learning network applications. Credo is
proud to collaborate with Keysight on its AresONE-M 800GE platform,
by providing high-quality merchant silicon solutions supporting
data center interconnect speeds from 10GE to 800GE, across a wide
variety of physical connections.”
Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager,
Network Test & Security Solutions, Keysight, said: “At
Keysight, we believe industry standard Ethernet test solutions are
an essential and integral part of solving the most complex problems
our customers face today. We are extremely proud to introduce the
AresONE-M 800GE, the world’s highest density, most feature rich
Layer 1-3 800GE test platform that boasts high scale, power
efficiency, and performance.”
