Keysight, NTT Innovative Devices, and Lumentum Achieve New Benchmark 448 Gbps Data Transmission for AI Data Centers
Demonstration at OFC 2025 paves the way for next-generation 3.2T optical interfaces Optimized for AI and ML applications requiring ultra-fast data processing Breakthrough in data center scalability, energy efficiency, and high-speed networking Enables development of power-efficient 3.2T interfaces for data center networks SANTA ROSA, Calif., April 02, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Keysight Technologies, Inc., NTT Innovative Devices Corporation, and Lumentum Holdings Inc. ("Lumentum") announce a pioneering joint demonstration of 448 Gbps data transmission using 224 GBaud PAM4 optical technology at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC) 2025. This collaboration addresses the escalating bandwidth demands of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications, enabling the development of power-efficient 3.2 terabit (Tbps) interfaces for future data center networks. Keysight is enabling the industry in the early R&D stage for 448 Gbps. During this early R&D innovation phase, experts explore various modulation schemes, including PAM4, PAM6, and PAM8. Notably, for 224 Gbps optical transmission, the industry has already embraced PAM4 as the preferred choice, highlighting the industry's commitment to pushing the boundaries of high-speed data transmission and setting new standards for the future. AI and ML applications require ultra-fast, real-time data processing. The 448 Gbps transmission speed accelerates data movement between compute and network nodes, reducing latency and enhancing AI/ML model efficiency. As these models become increasingly complex, higher data throughput is essential to support scalability without bottlenecks. Additionally, this breakthrough improves data center efficiency, lowering operational costs and minimizing environmental impact. The demonstration utilizes two Keysight M8199B Arbitrary Waveform Generators with NTT's advanced frequency-domain interleaver to generate 448 Gbps electrical signals with 224 Gbaud PAM4. This signal is used to drive a Lumentum indium phosphide (InP) externally-modulated laser (EML), showcasing the potential for high-speed, power-efficient optical interconnects. The successful generation of 240 Gbaud PAM4 was also demonstrated using the same hardware. The demonstration features the latest 224 GBaud and beyond PAM4 technology, which enables 448 Gbps per lane data transmission and paves the way for developing power-efficient 3.2T interfaces for data center networks (DCN). This achievement represents a significant leap forward in achieving higher data rates and improved signal integrity. The joint demonstration consists of: Keysight's M8199B Arbitrary Waveform Generator, the industry's fastest AWG, operating at 256 GSa/s with analog bandwidth exceeding 80 GHz. Keysight's N1032A DCA-X Sampling Oscilloscope, ideal for analyzing high baud rate optical signals with up to 120 GHz optical bandwidth. NTT's frequency-domain interleaver, available as Keysight M8159A, which extends the bandwidth of the M8199B AWG. Lumentum's high-bandwidth InP externally-modulated laser (EML). Dr. Akimasa Kaneko, Executive Vice President of Photonic Component Business Group at NTT Innovative Devices, said: "We see this collaboration between the three companies as an important step in further evolving next-generation high-speed optical communications and the AI infrastructure. We are confident that we have prepared the fundamental technologies necessary to realize 400G/lane in a timely manner, and we hope that this will help further develop this industry." Dr. Matthew Sysak, Chief Technology Officer, Cloud and Networking Platform at Lumentum, said: "Achieving 448 Gbps transmission is a significant milestone in advancing optical interconnects for AI-driven cloud infrastructure. This collaboration underscores Lumentum's expertise in photonics and our commitment to delivering cutting-edge optical components that support the rapid expansion of AI and cloud data centers. As AI and ML applications require real-time processing of ever-growing datasets, our high-performance externally modulated lasers will be instrumental in enabling faster, more efficient, and scalable data center networks." Dr. Joachim Peerlings, Vice President of Network and Data Center Solutions at Keysight Technologies, said: "This collaboration showcases the cutting-edge advancements in high-speed optical communication and highlights the combined strengths of Keysight, NTT Innovative Devices, and Lumentum. This demo is another milestone for Keysight to enable the industry in advancing the AI infrastructure, laying the foundation for future generations to innovate in new and transformative ways."

fJscaler Demonstrates Market Leading 260 GBd BiCMOS Linear Driver Prototype Fueling Interconnect Scalability for Next-Gen AI Infrastructure
Serving 1.6T Coherent Optics, 1.6T and 3.2T IMDD Optics and Active Copper Links 260GBd Driver with Electrical Bandwidth of 130 GHz SAN FRANCISCO, March 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- fJscaler Inc., a leading mixed signal analog semiconductor and solutions company, today announced the successful silicon demonstration of one of the industry's first 260 GBd (gigabaud) linear drivers designed to enable low power 1.6 Terabit (T) coherent optics for metro and long-haul networks, as well as 1.6T and 3.2T IMDD for intra-datacenter interconnects. This groundbreaking achievement, unveiled at the 2025 Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC), sets a new benchmark for data rates and spectral efficiency in optical communication, addressing surging demands driven by AI, and hyperscale data centers. The demand for high bandwidth, low latency and low power consumption is central to AI infrastructure's scalability needs, which are growing exponentially from training to reasoning as well as agent models. Unprecedented Performance for Future Networks The 260 GBd linear driver represents a monumental leap forward in coherent optics, doubling the baud rate of today's state-of-the-art 130 GBd systems. By operating at 260 GBd, fJscaler's driver enables single-wavelength 1.6T transmission with a DP-16QAM modulation format, significantly reducing cost, power, and complexity compared to multi-carrier alternatives. This innovation empowers network operators and hyperscalers to deploy infrastructure efficiently while meeting exponential bandwidth growth. AI infrastructure compute scale-out and scale-up needs continue to demand more bandwidth and more density at a pace never experienced in the traditional optical communications market. Just as deployments at 200G/lane are coming online in 2025, there is already need, demand and benefits to migrate to 400G/lane IMDD PMDs. fJscaler's 400G/lane linear driver demonstration establishes a leadership position and builds upon this technology base to create commercial products that will debut in 2026. Key Advantages: Industry-first 260 GBd operation: Doubles symbol rates to maximize fiber capacity. 1.6T coherent transmission: Supports single-wavelength 1.6T using advanced modulation formats (e.g., DP-16QAM). Energy efficiency: Proprietary design reduces power consumption down to 1pJ/bit Future-ready scalability: Provides a clear pathway to 3.2T as DSPs evolve for coherent optics, and linear optics replace DSP retimed optics in high-density short-reach AI compute interconnects. 'This milestone underscores our commitment to pushing the boundaries of optical technology,' said Jan Filip, fJscaler CEO and President. 'As AI and cloud applications demand faster, smarter networks, our 260 GBd linear driver silicon demonstrator delivers the performance and efficiency needed to transform tomorrow's infrastructure.' Marco Vitali, fJscaler Chief Technology Officer added, 'Achieving 260 GBd required breakthroughs in semiconductor process technology and design architectures to achieve the linearity, bandwidth, and power needed for next generation optical interconnects. Our team's novel BiCMOS design techniques are setting a new standard for the industry.' 'The demand on compute and in-turn interconnect scalability is paramount and continues to grow an order of magnitude toward AI reasoning and physical AI,' said Samir Desai, fJscaler SVP Corporate Development. 'fJscaler is pleased to demonstrate its technology platform to service the next generation of optical interconnects, be it coherent optics for inter-datacenter, intra-datacenter for traditional network switch-to-switch optics, and more importantly for AI compute scale-out and scale-up networks.' 'We are excited to see such a critical innovation in coherent optics,' said Takashi Saida, Vice President, Head of NTT Device Innovation Center. 'This technology will play a key role in meeting the ever-growing bandwidth demands of the future.'
