New Vertex 6.0 recreates real-world wireless conditions in the lab for complex cellular, Wi-Fi, military and aerospace RF technologies CHANDLER, Ariz., Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VIAVI Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV ) has announced the latest, enhanced version of the Vertex channel emulation platform . With 400 MHz instantaneous bandwidth and support for carrier frequencies up to 23.6 GHz, Vertex 6.0 is the industry's first channel emulator designed for next generation 6G and Wi‑Fi 7/8 testing, natively supporting newly defined 6G waveform requirements and surpassing Wi‑Fi 7/8 bandwidth requirements. Vertex 6.0 extends VIAVI's wireless portfolio by bringing real-world RF propagation into the lab, complementing the industry-leading TM500 network emulation platform and TeraVM application and security validation solutions. It is the first Vertex upgrade following VIAVI's acquisition of Spirent Communications plc's high-speed Ethernet, network security and channel emulation testing business. Available in field-replaceable RF modules that integrate seamlessly into an existing 6U Vertex chassis, Vertex 6.0 builds on the 5G FR1/FR2 capabilities of the previous generation and now includes emulation for complex cellular, Wi-Fi, military and aerospace RF technologies. Combined with the VIAVI FR3 MIMO converter and raytracing with Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC)...
