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.

Key Points: 
  • 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 Nokias private SReXperts customer event in Madrid in June 2022, and included Keysights AresONE 800GE Layer 1-3 800GE line rate test platform and the Nokia 7750 Service Routing platform .
  • The AresONE was used to test and qualify Nokias FP5 network processor silicon along with 800GE pluggable optics.
  • Specific Nokia platforms used in the validation were the FP5 based 7750 SR-1x-48D supporting 48 ports of 800GE and the 7750 SR-1se supporting 36 ports of 800GE.
