Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company, announced that Allion Labs (hereinafter referred to as Allion) is using Keysight test and measurement products, including the Infiniium UXR-B series oscilloscopes, M8000 series high-performance BERTs, and ENA vector network analyzers, for Thunderbolt 5 certification validation.

Keysight announced on the 10th that it has been selected as a testing partner for Allion's Thunderbolt 5 product certification testing, and Allion is now an Intel Authorized Certification Lab for Thunderbolt 5 technology.

Thunderbolt 5 represents a quantum leap forward in wired connectivity, delivering faster data transfer speeds, support for next-generation displays, and improved power delivery.

With a bandwidth of up to 120 Gbps, nearly three times that of Thunderbolt 4, you can transfer large files such as high-resolution videos or complex 3D models in a short time, providing a smoother workflow, improved productivity, and an immersive user experience.

The latest Thunderbolt solutions use specific protocols and features, including Thunderbolt 5. Certification testing is required to ensure that products claiming compliance meet these rigorous standards.

This partnership between Keysight and Allion furthers their shared mission to advance industry standards, provide customers with superior Thunderbolt solutions and services, and drive innovation and excellence in the industry.

“We are pleased to work with Keysight as our test partner for Thunderbolt 5 product certification testing,” said Brian Shih, chief technology officer at Alion Labs. “Keysight’s reputation as an industry leader in Thunderbolt solutions makes them the ideal partner to help ensure the accuracy and reliability of our certification testing process.”

“Our collaboration with Alion and their selection for Thunderbolt 5 product certification further solidifies Keysight’s position as an industry leader in Thunderbolt solutions,” said Joachim Peerlings, vice president and general manager of Keysight’s Network and Data Center business. “Keysight’s commitment to ensuring the highest levels of quality and reliability is recognized.”
