VIAVI Introduces Colocation Capability at VALOR Lab-as-a-Service Testing Facility
Lab will support semi-permanent setups, offering more flexibility and capacity for customers requiring expanded test services CHANDLER, Ariz., July 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- VIAVI Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today announced that it has added colocation capability to its VIAVI Automated Lab-as-a-Service for Open RAN (VALOR™) facility to address the increased demand for comprehensive testing from Open RAN customers. Based in Chandler, Arizona, VALOR is funded by the U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund (PWSCIF). As an alternative to its on-demand customer labs, VALOR's colocation model offers more flexibility and capacity. Customers can access the lab for a longer period and conduct comprehensive testing throughout the product lifecycle with a semi-permanent setup. Network data in the lab is segregated using VLANs to ensure secure, isolated environments for each customer's testing requirements, ensuring optimal performance and data integrity across various testing scenarios. "We're excited to introduce this new colocation offering at VALOR. With two available engagement models, VALOR can now service both vendors who are looking for specific tests during the development and pre-certification process, as well as those seeking longer-term, comprehensive end-to-end and scalable testing," said Erik Probstfield, Senior Director, VALOR, VIAVI. "This colocation framework builds upon the NTIA PWSCIF model. Focused on wireless infrastructure, PWSCIF acts as a force multiplier where federal spending is a catalyst drawing additional investment from private industry. Ultimately, this accelerates the development of open, secure wireless ecosystems with industry-wide investment value significantly greater than the base federal funding. We look forward to providing this expanded service offering to our customers in alignment with the mission and objectives of the NTIA and PWSCIF." The VALOR Lab offers a highly automated, open and impartial Lab-as-a-Service / Test-as-a-Service suite for Open RAN interoperability, performance and security. In addition to the colocation lab and two on-demand labs, customers can also access a state-of-the-art RF chamber for Massive MIMO and beamforming over-the-air (OTA) validation, including system-level Massive MIMO performance testing for up to 16 parallel spatial layers. Leveraging VIAVI's industry-leading NITRO Wireless Open RAN Test Suite, the VAMOS unified framework for hybrid physical and cloud-based testing, reference O-RUs, O-DUs and O-CUs, as well as a knowledgeable support team, the VALOR Lab enables emerging Open RAN technology vendors to test their products without significant upfront investment. Risks associated with building in-house Open RAN testing capabilities are offloaded to VIAVI, resulting in quicker time to market and more flexible deployment.

VIAVI State of the Network Study Shows that Teams with Unified Data Sources Achieve Faster MTTD, Shorter MTTR, and Stronger NetSecOps Alignment Across Hybrid Environments
79% of enterprises to increase reliance on packet capture in 2025 Packet capture contributes to MTTR reduction and 4X increase in sub-hour resolution VIAVI's unified network and security solution will be showcased at Cisco Live! booth 2643 from June 8-12 in San Diego, CA. CHANDLER, Ariz., June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the 2025/2026 State of the Network study by VIAVI Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV), reliance on packet capture to improve mean times to detection (MTTD) and resolution (MTTR) is likely to increase in 79% of enterprise organizations this year. Running annually in partnership with Enterprise Strategy Group, now part of Omdia, the study reveals how IT network and security teams are evolving to meet the demands of hybrid infrastructure, rising cloud complexity, and increasing pressure to detect and resolve issues faster. Based on insights from 750 global professionals, it highlights a clear shift toward deeper network observability, renewed reliance on packet capture, growing cross-functional collaboration in cloud monitoring, and the accelerating convergence of network operations (NetOps) and security operations (SecOps). The study shows that organizations with strong packet capture experienced notable improvements to MTTD, with double the number of respondents reporting a significantly shorter MTTD rate over the past year compared to those lacking strong packet capture capability. In addition, respondents with good packet capture abilities were four times more likely to resolve issues in under an hour, and almost 35% more likely to resolve them in under three hours. "As environments grow more distributed and threats become more dynamic, the path forward is clear. Unified visibility, smarter tooling, and operational alignment are no longer optional – they're essential," said Chris Labac, Vice President and General Manager, Network Performance and Threat Solutions, VIAVI. "Packet-level visibility has been proven to accelerate the detection, response, and resolution of network issues. Our report demonstrates that organizations not only understand the need for full fidelity forensics, multi-cloud visibility and NetSecOps alignment, but are actively putting steps in place to improve overall network observability." Summary of key findings: 79% of organizations report growing reliance on packet data, with measurable improvements in MTTD, MTTR, and alert accuracy. Organizations with robust packet visibility are four times more likely to achieve MTTR under an hour compared to those without. The shift toward multi-cloud environments is driving a 125% increase in collaborative monitoring models. 42% of organizations that implemented NetSecOps models reported enhanced security benefits. While 92% of organizations reported that they had sufficient budget to meet their needs, 78% believed there was a need for more support to prepare for rising network security threats. "Networks are under constant threat and permanently stretched, yet what is clear from VIAVI and ESG's research is that most companies are taking steps to continually improve their uptime. Indeed, despite hard times, investment is set to increase in the overwhelming majority of companies for every single one of the 11 IT solutions we examined," said Jim Frey, Principal Analyst, Networking, Enterprise Strategy Group from Informa Tech Target. "This means there's a lot to be positive about, and this research demonstrates exactly where organizations are getting the greatest returns on investment to enable the best practices to be used across the industry." VIAVI will be showcasing its unified network and security solution at Cisco Live! booth 2643 from June 8-12 in San Diego, CA.
