The AresONE-400GE by Ixia, a Keysight Business, is designed to meet the high-port-count test needs of chip and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) manufacturers, network equipment manufacturers (NEMs), and hyperscale data center operators and carriers. The AresONE-400GE test system helps users validate high-port-count devices for performance, scalability, and interoperability and get unique and powerful PCS lanes and forward error correction (FEC) BER measurements with Ixia-developed intellectual property for the critical elements of 400 Gigabit Ethernet: MAC, PCS, and FEC.

Judge’s comment: “This is a powerful test solution providing port, system, and network characterization features. It is useful for testing 400GE Ethernet traffic across a range of system and device levels.”
