Viavi Solutions (VIAV)

The company’s business is organised around network and optical technologies. Its Network Enablement products support lab and field testing for telecom and data networks, helping engineers verify performance and diagnose problems as networks become faster and more software-driven. Its Service Enablement activities focus on monitoring and assurance, giving operators visibility into service quality and network behaviour. Viavi also operates an Optical Security and Performance Products business, which produces high-performance thin-film optical coatings and related components used in applications such as anti-counterfeiting, 3D sensing, consumer electronics, automotive systems, defence, and instrumentation.

A distinctive part of Viavi’s portfolio is its expertise in light management. The company manufactures optical filters used in 3D sensing systems, including technologies that support facial-recognition security in mobile devices. This gives Viavi exposure not only to telecom infrastructure spending, but also to specialised optical applications where precision, durability, and performance are critical.

Viavi generates a significant share of revenue in the United States while selling into global markets. Its prospects are tied to network investment cycles, 5G and fibre deployment, cloud and data-centre growth, device innovation, and demand for secure optical products. For investors, VIAV offers exposure to the testing and measurement layer behind modern connectivity as well as niche optical technologies used in advanced industrial and consumer applications.
