Viavi Solutions Inc. VIAV is set to showcase a comprehensive suite of its cutting-edge solutions at the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, which will be held from March 3 to March 6, 2025, in Barcelona, Spain. With a focus on accelerating network testing and optimization, these solutions are designed to address emerging security risks, including open interfaces, Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) and the potential impacts of quantum computing, ultimately enhancing their networking experiences.
How These Innovations Buoy VIAV?
One of the key highlights of Viavi's demonstration will center on its work on 6G research and developments. The company will showcase energy-efficient neuromorphic receivers that replace traditional signal-processing blocks with a single neural network optimized for AI-based modulations.
Viavi will also demonstrate an innovative goal-oriented and semantic communication framework for metaverse avatars, going beyond the boundaries of wireless extended reality. In addition, AI/Machine Learning (ML)-based beam management for 6G networks and a joint communications and sensing testing solution will also be displayed.
As the global adoption of 5G and Open RAN (Radio Access Network) continues, Viavi will highlight its role in testing and supporting advanced 5G capabilities in both lab and field settings. The demonstration will include a testbed for massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), multi-user MIMO, and beamforming technologies, as well as a comprehensive multi-vendor Open RAN testbed focusing on conformance, performance, interoperability and cybersecurity. Moreover, the company will present solutions for efficient field deployment, including resilient timing, advanced electromagnetic fields, passive intermodulation measurements, and cloud integration.
With Non-Terrestrial networks (NTN) advancing toward commercialization, Viavi will demonstrate its NTN digital twin testbed and resilient PNT solutions to ensure secure, uninterrupted communication, which is vital for critical infrastructure. Furthermore, the company will showcase its TeraVM Security Test and multiple application platforms, addressing the potential security threats posed by quantum computing.
As part of its digital twin demonstration, Viavi will showcase cutting-edge solutions, including AI-RAN scenario generation, near real-time ray tracing, and a cloud-based automation platform.
