KEYSIGHT EXPANDS NOVUS PORTFOLIO WITH THE NEW NOVUS MINI
Novus mini is a compact network test platform combining traffic generation and protocol testing that enables network engineers to test the performance and conformance of industrial networks as they deploy IoT devices.
Keysight Technologies, is expanding its Novus portfolio with the new Novus mini, a network test platform in a compact form factor that addresses the needs of network engineers as they deploy automotive and industrial internet of things (IoT) devices.
As enterprises transition to Industry 4.0 business models to take advantage of digitalization, their reliance on connected IoT devices become more important to business operations. Industries such as automotive and manufacturing can improve safety and efficiency by connecting IoT machines and sensors to business systems. However, system failures and downtime caused by connectivity and network issues can result in high-risk, life-threatening situations. To mitigate any potential problems, network engineers must fully test the connectivity and performance of network components and IoT devices before deploying them.
Keysight's Novus mini addresses this need by giving network engineers a compact, quiet, and affordable platform to test the performance and conformance of their industrial networks. The Novus mini also supports testing based on time-sensitive networking (TSN) standards, which is a critical safety component in IoT applications such as the advanced driver assistance systems employed in autonomous vehicles.
The following benefits are provided by the Novus mini:
- Network testing value – A combined solution offering both traffic generation and protocol testing in a single platform.
- Compact, quiet, and affordable – Features the smallest footprint in the industry, outstanding cost per port, and ultra-quiet, fan-less operation.
- Validates layers 2-3 – Covers full performance and conformance testing.
- Tests critical timing standards for industrial IoT – Supports full timing testing and automated time TSN for 802.1AS 2011/2020, 802.1Qbv, 802.1CB, and 802.1Qci.
