VIAVI Solutions Achieves Avnu Certification for TSN Component Testing

VIAVI Solutions Inc., a leader in optical technologies and testing solutions, has made a significant breakthrough by announcing that its TTworkbench gPTP test suite and TestCenter M1 Appliance have received recognition as an Avnu Certification Test Tool (CTT). This recognition pertains to the IEEE 802.1AS range of standards within the Avnu Alliance’s Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) Component Certification Program.

This new certification is pivotal as it serves to bolster compliance testing with IEEE TSN standards while simultaneously promoting multi-vendor interoperability all within a single integrated platform. The announcement was made on April 14, 2026, and the recognized solutions will be exhibited at an upcoming event - the Avnu Alliance Plugfest, scheduled for April 20-24 in London.

Streamlining Component Certification

The importance of the Avnu Certification Test Tool cannot be understated, particularly when it comes to expanding the tools available for device manufacturers, silicon providers, and recognized testing laboratories that focus on verifying the compliance of TSN protocols. Through this certification, customers can effectively validate their devices against the stringent Avnu conformance test plans, ensuring that their products are interoperable within the complex ecosystems created by multiple vendors.

VIAVI's CTT is designed to simplify the certification process within the Avnu ecosystem. By merging various validation requirements into a single workflow, the solution alleviates the typical complexities associated with product certification. This streamlining not only enhances efficiency but also accelerates certification processes, significantly reducing the time required for products to reach the market.

Remarks from VIAVI Leadership

“Receiving this recognition highlights the robustness of VIAVI’s holistic approach to TSN validation,” noted Aniket Khosla, the Vice President of Product Management, Lab and Production at VIAVI. He further elaborated on how their combination of automated TSN conformance testing, precise traffic generation, and timing analysis equips clients with the tools to expedite certification cycles while bolstering their confidence in multi-vendor interoperability.

Jeremy Rover, Co-Chair of the Certification Working Group at the Avnu Alliance, echoed this sentiment. He emphasized that the addition of VIAVI's CTT to the program enhances industry confidence in achieving robust, standards-compliant TSN implementations. The Avnu Alliance’s Component Certification Program aims to reduce fragmentation in the TSN ecosystem as it gains traction across various sectors including automotive, industrial applications, and professional audio systems.
