Bangalore, June 19, 2026 – VIAVI Solutions has announced that its Xgig platform for PCI Express (PCIe) 6.0 specification testing has achieved Gold Suite acceptance from PCI-SIG. This recognition enables the platform to be used for PCIe 6.0 link and transaction protocol compliance testing at PCI-SIG compliance workshops worldwide. 

Products that successfully pass PCIe compliance testing are added to the PCI-SIG Integrators List, giving buyers and system integrators a verified reference of interoperable, standards-compliant components. With Gold Suite acceptance, the VIAVI Xgig PCIe 6.0 platform is now authorized to support compliance testing in preparation for PCI-SIG compliance, helping accelerate interoperability across next-generation PCIe technology ecosystems. 

“Designed to support AI workloads and other high-performance computing applications, PCIe 6.0 specification delivers faster, more dependable data transfer, driving greater overall efficiency,” said Tom Fawcett, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Lab & Production, VIAVI. “Compliance testing remains a cornerstone of PCI-SIG’s standards development, and we look forward to continuing to support its members in upcoming compliance workshops.” 

“As PCIe 6.0 technology scales to meet the demands of AI and high-performance computing, robust compliance testing is critical to delivering the interoperability needed by our members,” said Al Yanes, President and Chairperson, PCI-SIG. “VIAVI’s Gold Suite acceptance supports the tools available at our compliance workshops, which helps accelerate adoption of PCIe 6.0 technology across the ecosystem.” 

The VIAVI Xgig PCIe 6.0 platform builds on a proven multifunction architecture, integrating protocol analysis, traffic generation and error injection within a unified system. Designed for flexibility and scalability, the platform supports advanced debug, validation and compliance workflows required for next-generation PCIe devices and systems.
