The rapid deployment of AI data center networks utilizing 1.6T optical interconnects presents significant measurement challenges due to the extreme data rates and stringent signal integrity requirements. Engineers need to characterize and validate the performance of transceivers across a broad range of challenging operating conditions, requiring precise test equipment with exceptional bandwidth, low noise, and high sensitivity. In manufacturing, automated testing must be efficient, scalable, and precise to validate critical parameters across large volumes with high throughput and yield, while ensuring performance to data center requirements and maintaining compliance with industry standards.

The new DCA-M sampling oscilloscopes are part of Keysight’s 1.6T portfolio of end-to-end solutions to address higher transmission rates required by AI and machine learning. The DCA-M sampling oscilloscopes provide high-speed optical signal analysis at up to 240 Gbps/lane, delivering:

Osa Mok, CMO of TeraHop said: “Keysight is a long standing and reliable partner as a critical test technologies provider with high performance and quality. This new line of Keysight sampling oscilloscopes will help to accelerate 1.6 Tbps optical solutions deployment for a new generation of AI compute networking applications.”

Dr. Joachim Peerlings, Vice President of Network and Data Center Solutions at Keysight Technologies, said: “Enabling next-generation data centers and AI clusters, raises the bar for time-to-market and performance of R&D and manufacturing solutions. We are proud of our progress in supporting the industry as it advances AI infrastructure, laying the foundation for future generations to innovate in new and transformative ways.”

The DCA-M Sampling Oscilloscopes will be demonstrated in booth #1301 at the OFC 2025 conference, April 1-3, in the Moscone Center, San Francisco, California.

The first stage of Mohamed Salah’s rehabilitation at Liverpool is complete after the Egypt forward returned to the team for its 2-0 win over Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.

The question now as Salah heads off to the Africa Cup of Nations: Is there a future for him at Anfield when he comes back?

Salah, who let rip last weekend about his current frustrations at Liverpool, entered as a 26th-minute substitute to a big ovation and set up the second of Hugo Ekitike’s goals as the defending champion extended its unbeaten run to five games in all competitions.

Also Saturday, Chelsea beat Everton 2-0 and was set on its way to victory by Cole Palmer’s first goal in three months. First-place Arsenal hosts last-place Wolverhampton later.

Salah held talks with Liverpool manager Arne Slot on Friday in an effort to overcome their issues and the result was that Salah was recalled to the matchday squad for the Brighton game. He had been a substitute for the last three Premier League matches before being left at home for the midweek Champions League trip to Inter Milan as a punishment for his explosive comments to reporters last weekend.

“It was an easy decision to put him in the squad," Slot said. “I have said many times before what has been said between us will stay between us.”

Liverpool's fans demonstrated they are willing to excuse Salah for his show of anger and gave him a rapturous welcome when he came on as a substitute for the injured Joe Gomez midway through the first half.

By then, Liverpool was leading 1-0 thanks to Ekitike's rising shot inside the first minute and Salah showed glimpses of his class, especially on the counterattack. It was Salah's corner kick that was headed in by Ekitike for the second goal in the 60th, sparking another round of chants for the Egyptian.

Slot said Salah was a threat all game.

“Pleasing to see but not a surprise,” Slot said.

Salah could be away for more than a month if Egypt goes all the way in the Africa Cup.

It was a second straight start for Palmer, whose season has been blighted by a groin injury that has restricted him to seven games in all competitions.

There looked to be nothing wrong with Palmer when he ran onto Malo Gusto's pass and slipped a finish inside the near post to give Chelsea the lead in the 21st minute at Stamford Bridge.

However, Palmer said after the game that he wasn't at his best yet because he was “still dealing with an injury.”

“It’s just a matter of not doing too much too soon,” Palmer told the BBC. “Literally, it’s just a day-by-day thing. Hopefully it gets better.”

Gusto added the second goal in the 45th minute for Chelsea, which jumped to fourth place.
