Accelerate your AI infrastructure assessment process with Keysight's next-generation VNA solution.

The market for AOC, DAC, and AEC cables is projected to reach $2.8 billion by 2028 with a growth rate of over 20% CAGR. This confirms that connectivity infrastructure is developing at a rapid pace, even faster than the simple chip processing process.

1. Opportunities arising from the explosion of connectivity in the AI era

AI is completely overshadowing traditional (non-AI) applications. Older Ethernet standards are being replaced by AI-specific protocols with stringent requirements for extremely high bandwidth and extremely low latency.

With the pressure of mass-producing optical cables and modules daily, maintaining absolute quality is a difficult challenge. The VNA Keysight machine is the "key" to inspecting thousands of cables with high accuracy, completely eliminating bottlenecks in AI supercomputer networks.

AI is a fertile ground but also presents significant technical challenges in terms of measurement and testing. The explosion in demand for AI connectivity is not just about market size; it's directly changing how we design and build hardware infrastructure. To meet this enormous bandwidth demand, engineers are simultaneously implementing two core scaling strategies: Scale-up and Scale-out.

2. AI Infrastructure Strategy: Scale-up & Scale-out

Scale-up (Internal Server Connection): Connects GPUs/XPUs at extremely close distances (NVLink/PCIe).

VNA machines optimize hardware design, including controlling crosstalk on the PCB and ensuring power integrity to prevent voltage drops during heavy data processing.

Scale-out (Wide Area Network Connection): Links thousands of servers via optical networks (Ethernet/InfiniBand).

The VNA system will ensure the continuous accuracy of the network by: assessing the quality of the fiber optic cable (AOC) and transceiver modules, ensuring Signal Integrity with no bit errors at speeds of 800G/1.6T.

3. Solving the AI Infrastructure Strategy Problem with the Keysight VNA Ecosystem

Streamline Series VNA is considered a mobile lab for ultra-fast AI infrastructure.

- Its ultra-compact USB design (only 2kg) offers flexibility for both on-site and in-data center testing.

- It boasts powerful performance with an extended frequency range up to 53 GHz or 330 GHz (mmWave).

Do you know? Keysight VNA is an indispensable platform for realizing ultra-fast connectivity systems currently running ChatGPT or Grok.

4. Utilizing VNA Keysight to accelerate research and evaluation of AI applications

- Signal Integrity (SI): Simultaneous time-domain (TDR) and frequency-domain measurements on a single device, reducing setup time by 50%.

- PCB & Material Optimization: Accurately determine dielectric constant (Dk/Df) accuracy in the mmWave range to reduce the number of trial fabrications.

- Power Supply Integrity (PI): Address voltage drop and EMI issues on GPU boards by measuring PDN impedance.

- Multi-port connectivity system: Configure VNA with up to 12 ports to simultaneously measure multiple signal pairs in AI Tray Switches.
