HYWICOM test instruments streamline end-to-end network testing workflows across data centers, AI infrastructure, and DCI scenarios.
During service activation, multi-service switching delivers fast performance validation. In operation and maintenance, hierarchical testing enables efficient fault localization. For network upgrades, flexible license upgrading supports 800G Ethernet testing without redeployment, greatly reducing operational costs.
Challenges / Pain Points
-
Low Efficiency in Service Commissioning
Validating performance across multiple service modes requires test instruments to support fast service switching.
-
Complexity in O&M Testing
There is a strong demand for test instruments with multi-dimensional error and alarm detection to enable fast fault localization and improve O&M efficiency.
-
Insufficient Rate Compatibility
Traditional testers fail to support emerging technologies such as 800G+ and coherent optical testing.Users are forced to procure new test modules or platforms and perform redeployment, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Solutions & Advantages
-
Service Activation Phase
HYWICOM instruments enable multi-service switching in seconds and rapid performance validation.
01-
Multi-Service Full-Scenario Coverage Capability
For example, in 400G Ethernet service activation, HYWICOM instruments comprehensively cover multi-service types such as 1x 400GE, 2x 200GE, 4x 100GE, and 8x 50GE, performing FEC performance and RFC 2544 tests to accurately evaluate the operational performance of optical modules and network equipment under different service modes.
-
Efficiency Comparison with Traditional Solutions
Traditional instruments suffer from multi-service switching delays of several minutes, constraining project timelines. HYWICOM instruments achieve instantaneous multi-service switching within 10 seconds, resolving the efficiency bottleneck.
-
Efficient Multi-Port Parallel Testing
HYWICOM testers support independent testing across all ports, enabling concurrent testing of up to 12 ports, significantly enhancing batch testing efficiency and accelerating project delivery.

-
Operation and Maintenance Phase
HYWICOM instruments deliver hierarchical testing for optical module links and service performance, enabling rapid fault localization and improved operational efficiency.
02-
Precise Alarm Output for Faster Fault Localization
During network diagnostics, technicians are required to test all nodes (optical modules, switches, routers) end-to-end. HYWICOM testers generate precise alarms and error indications, enabling rapid fault node identification and fault scope isolation, thus significantly improving operational efficiency.
-
Multi-Layer End-to-End Detection for Root Cause Analysis
The instrument comprehensively covers key layers including the physical layer (LOS/LOL), PCS layer (FEC/LOAM/LF/RF), and MAC layer (FCS errors/oversized frames). Technicians can trace alarms layer by layer to pinpoint fault locations and resolve network issues efficiently.

-
Upgrade & Iteration Phase
HYWICOM's instrument hardware is pre-configured. Activate the license to enable 800G Ethernet testing — no new equipment or re-deployment needed, significantly reducing costs and improving efficiency.
03-
Full-Rate Compatibility & Strong Adaptability
AI-driven data centers are facing surging bandwidth demands, rendering 400G uplink bandwidth insufficient. Current 800G equipment deployment and compatibility testing require higher-performance test instruments. HYWICOM's PIANO portable tester supports full-rate compatibility from 800G down to 10G, perfectly meeting network upgrade requirements.
-
Cost-Effective License Upgrades
Customers can enable 800G Ethernet testing on the instrument simply by purchasing a license — no new equipment procurement or re‑deployment required, significantly reducing both labor and capital costs.
