(NYSE: KEYS) and Point2 Technology today announced a strategic collaboration to validate next-generation, multi-terabit interconnects designed to eliminate scale-up connectivity bottlenecks in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) data centers. Using Keysight’s high-speed digital test solutions, including the M8050A High-Performance Bit Error Ratio Tester (BERT) and DCA-X Sampling Oscilloscopes, the companies are validating Point2’s power-efficient e-Tube™ interconnect technology to meet the stringent performance and reliability requirements of hyperscaler AI infrastructure.","length":681,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"As AI workloads drive exponential bandwidth demand, hyperscalers face critical interconnect challenges when scaling up xPU clusters. Point2’s e-Tube™ technology uses RF data transmission over plastic waveguide and targets to provide up to 10x longer reach than traditional copper at comparable cost structure, while being 3x lower in power and cost, and 1,000x lower in latency when compared to optics. The e-Tube technology provides designers with an energy-efficient, high-density interconnect alternative to replace copper, and potentially eliminate the interconnect bottleneck in xPU clusters.","length":597,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Keysight is providing comprehensive validation and characterization framework to ensure these new interconnects meet the stringent reliability and performance requirements of hyperscalers.
