VIAVI Solutions highlights the importance of ecosystems in advancing AI-RAN, 6G, and open networks at MWC Barcelona, showcasing over 20 collaborations to reshape future telecom landscapes.

Advancing Next-Generation Networks Through Collaboration

VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) is set to demonstrate significant advances in telecommunications technology through more than 20 strategic partnerships at MWC Barcelona, running from March 3-6, 2025 [1]. The company’s Chief Technology Officer, Sameh Yamany, emphasizes that operators must optimize and secure increasingly complex network architectures comprising 6G and AI technologies, highlighting the critical role of trusted vendor communities in addressing emerging challenges [1]. This collaborative approach comes at a time when the telecommunications industry is witnessing unprecedented transformation, with 6G technology making significant laboratory advances and satellite networks becoming operational realities [3].

6G and AI Integration Initiatives

The showcase features groundbreaking 6G developments through collaborations with prestigious institutions including A*STAR Institute for Infocomm Research, King’s College London, Nokia Bell Labs, and Qualcomm Technologies [1]. Notable demonstrations include AI/ML-based 6G position-enhanced beam management and a semantic communication framework designed for metaverse avatars [1]. These innovations are part of VIAVI’s comprehensive approach to network optimization, which extends from terrestrial to space-based communications [3]. The company’s development of energy-efficient neuromorphic receivers represents a significant step forward in sustainable 6G technology implementation [3].

Open RAN and Network Security Advancements

VIAVI’s commitment to open network architectures is demonstrated through an extensive multi-vendor testbed featuring collaborations with industry leaders such as CableLabs, Calnex Solutions, and Capgemini [1]. The company’s TeraVM Security Test platform now includes capabilities for testing Post-Quantum Cryptography systems, aligning with NIST standards [3]. This focus on security and open architecture comes as VIAVI positions itself as a global leader in network test and monitoring solutions [2], enabling telecommunications providers to transform into technology companies capable of handling advanced AI, ML, and cloud computing demands [5].

Future-Ready Network Solutions

As the telecommunications industry evolves, VIAVI’s demonstrations at MWC Barcelona will showcase how operators can optimize network performance through AI-driven digital twins and autonomous RAN Intelligent Controllers [3]. These solutions are critical as the industry moves toward more complex network architectures [1]. The company’s presence at Hall 5, Stand #5A18 will feature real-time Open RAN remote testing demonstrations [3], highlighting VIAVI’s role in enabling the transition from traditional telecommunications to advanced technology companies capable of meeting future network demands [5].
