Company News
VIAVI Solutions has announced that its TTworkbench gPTP test suite and TestCenter M1 Appliance have been recognised as an IEEE 802.1AS Avnu Certification Test Tool solution under the Avnu Alliance Time-Sensitive Networking Component Certification Program. The solution will be showcased at the Avnu Alliance Plugfest in London from 20–24 April. The certification test tool enables device manufacturers, silicon providers and test laboratories to validate conformance for TSN protocols and ensure interoperability across multi-vendor TSN ecosystems. VIAVI's solution combines automated TSN conformance testing with traffic generation and timing analysis in a single workflow. The Avnu Alliance Component Certification Program supports standardised validation across TSN-enabled devices in automotive, industrial, professional audio, aerospace and defence applications.
VIAVI Solutions has partnered with Ground Control to integrate its Secure µPNT STL-1000 receiver into RockFLEET Assured, an asset tracking and navigation solution for maritime vessels operating in GNSS-denied environments. The compact software-defined receiver delivers precise timing with holdover capability, enabling tracking and navigation in denied, degraded and disrupted space operational environments. It addresses vulnerabilities from GPS jamming and spoofing, which have become increasingly common in cyber warfare. RockFLEET Assured is a marine-grade positioning, navigation and timing solution designed to support maritime vessel navigation when GNSS signals are unavailable. The partnership aims to strengthen resilience for mission-critical operations across defence, maritime and critical infrastructure sectors by providing a trusted secondary position source beyond traditional GPS reliance.
Viavi Solutions reported Q4 revenues of $369.3 million, up 36.4% year-on-year and exceeding analyst expectations by 1.1%. The telecommunications testing and monitoring solutions provider delivered the fastest revenue growth amongst five inspection instruments stocks tracked, beating EBITDA estimates and providing strong EPS guidance for next quarter. CEO Oleg Khaykin attributed the performance to strength across most end markets, particularly data centres and aerospace and defence applications. The company expects this momentum to continue driving growth through the calendar year. Viavi's shares have surged 75.5% since the earnings report and currently trade at $36.90. Across the sector, inspection instruments stocks averaged 21.4% gains, with the group collectively beating revenue estimates by 0.9%.
Viavi Solutions climbed to a 24-year high on Tuesday, reaching $36.03 intraday before closing 6.93% higher at $35.94 per share. The surge followed a "buy" recommendation from Stifel, which maintained a $35 price target after the company showcased its AI solutions portfolio at a California conference. Viavi displayed products including 1.6T Ethernet testing, silicon photonics manufacturing and fiber inspection tools. The company introduced its INX 700 probe microscope and DCX-700 optical loss test set, which enables 24-fibre simultaneous measurement. Viavi is also participating in the RSA Conference in San Francisco from 23 to 26 March, where it has presented its Observer Threat Forensics tool designed to help organisations identify security vulnerabilities and analyse data breaches.
VIAVI Solutions has launched Observer Threat Forensics, a solution combining network operation management with CrowdStrike-powered threat intelligence to support converged NetSecOps teams. The platform provides retrospective analysis capabilities and unifies packet insights, flow data and log telemetry into a single dashboard. The solution addresses growing demand for convergence between network and security operations. VIAVI's State of the Network study found that 79% of 750 surveyed CIOs and CISOs wanted to move away from siloed operational models, yet only 27% have begun the transition. Observer Threat Forensics leverages existing network performance monitoring data to provide both performance insights and security threat investigation capabilities. The platform helps organisations identify vulnerabilities, analyse breaches and understand intrusion points whilst eliminating data gaps. VIAVI showcased the solution at the RSA Conference in San Francisco from 23-26 March.
