VIAVI to unveil advancements in 6G, NTN, quantum-safe and open networks

Viavi Solutions has announced that it will highlight emerging innovations and demonstrate its advanced network test and optimisation solutions at India Mobile Congress, 2025.

India’s telecom ecosystem and expanding digital economy is making significant strides. Government’s strategic vision of self-reliance in next-generation communication technologies has created a collaborative platform to strengthen and support local manufacturing. The 5G coverage has been remarkably rapid and the country is at the forefront of 6G research and development. Data centres are intensifying their footprint with scalable, sustainable and AI-first infrastructure and satellite communication is ushering in a new era as global and domestic players are set to begin operations. Transforming the future of connectivity, India Mobile Congress is facilitating collaboration and presents a unique platform for tech innovators, ecosystem players and policymakers to converge and unveil pioneering trends and game-changing solutions.

From AI-based intelligent twin for network optimisation to quantum-safe security and advancements in 6G to innovations in critical communications as well as interoperability in open and disparate networks, VIAVI is playing a leading role in enabling next-generation mission-critical networks.
