Keysight Highlights 280 Gbps Sub-THz Breakthrough for Future 6G Networks

Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS), NTT and NTT Innovative Devices have achieved a record 280 Gbps wireless data rate using sub-terahertz technology, demonstrating the potential for ultra-high-speed wireless backhaul in future 6G networks.

The test operated in the J-band around 220–325 GHz and used a new wideband amplifier based on Indium Phosphide technology. The amplifier enabled substantially higher signal power, while Keysight’s test equipment generated and analyzed 35 GBaud 256-QAM signals to reach the 280 Gbps throughput.

Keysight also used advanced digital predistortion technology to compensate for signal distortion at high frequencies and power levels, improving signal integrity. The achievement addresses key technical challenges associated with moving wireless communications beyond 100 Gbps.

The technology could become increasingly important as 5G and eventually 6G networks require higher-capacity connections between base stations. Sub-THz wireless backhaul could complement fiber, particularly in dense urban areas and locations where installing fiber infrastructure is expensive or difficult.

Keysight Technologies Stock Rises 2.6% After Record Q3 and Strong Q4 Outlook

Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS) shares are up 2.6% in premarket trading Wednesday after the electronic design and test equipment company reported record fiscal third-quarter results and issued a strong outlook for the fourth quarter.

Keysight reported Q3 revenue of $1.85 billion, up 37% from $1.35 billion a year earlier. GAAP net income more than doubled to $397 million, while GAAP diluted EPS increased to $2.30 from $1.10.

On an adjusted basis, earnings were even stronger. Non-GAAP EPS jumped 78% year-over-year to $3.07, compared with $1.72 in the prior-year period.

AI, Communications and Semiconductor Demand Drive Growth

Keysight's Communications Solutions Group was the major growth engine, with revenue surging 43% to $1.345 billion. Commercial communications revenue increased 56%, while aerospace, defense and government revenue grew 14%.

The Electronic Industrial Solutions Group also performed strongly, with revenue rising 21% to $501 million on growth across semiconductor, general electronics, automotive and energy markets.

Keysight is strategically positioned within the semiconductor and AI infrastructure ecosystem. Its electronic design, simulation and testing technologies are used in areas including high-speed data centers, advanced semiconductors and next-generation communications. Increasing complexity in AI computing and high-speed networking creates additional testing and validation requirements, providing a structural demand driver for Keysight's equipment and software.

Orders exceeded $2 billion for the second consecutive quarter, highlighting continued demand beyond the reported revenue growth.

Keysight Raises Outlook as Momentum Continues

Management also provided a strong fiscal fourth-quarter forecast. Revenue is expected between $1.93 billion and $1.95 billion, with the midpoint representing approximately 37% year-over-year growth.

Non-GAAP EPS is projected between $3.34 and $3.40, indicating another substantial increase from the third quarter's $3.07.

Strong revenue and earnings growth, record orders and an improved full-year outlook provide several fundamental reasons for KEYS' 2.6% premarket advance. The results also reinforce Keysight's position as an important picks-and-shovels beneficiary of investment across AI infrastructure, semiconductors, communications and advanced electronics.

Keysight Technologies Edges Up 1% in Premarket After Strongest Quarter in Company History

Keysight Technologies nudged 1% higher in premarket trading today after the electronic measurement company reported what CEO Satish Dhanasekaran described as the strongest quarter in the company's history, with all-time highs across orders, revenue, earnings per share and free cash flow.

Second quarter revenue came in at $1.72 billion, up 31% from $1.31 billion in the same period last year, surpassing $2 billion in orders for the first time. GAAP net income rose to $349 million, or $2.02 per diluted share, from $257 million, or $1.49 per share a year ago. Non-GAAP EPS jumped to $2.87 from $1.70. Free cash flow reached $472 million, and the company ended the quarter with $2.43 billion in cash.

Both reporting segments performed strongly. The Communications Solutions Group grew revenue 35% to $1.23 billion, driven by 40% growth in commercial communications and 24% growth in aerospace, defense and government. The Electronic Industrial Solutions Group grew 24% to $486 million, with double-digit growth across automotive, semiconductor and general electronics end markets.

The results also included a $100 million receivable recorded in the quarter related to IEEPA tariff refunds following a February 2026 Supreme Court ruling that certain tariffs were not authorized by law, partially offset by a $40 million liability for tariff surcharges previously collected from customers.

For Q3, Keysight guided for revenue of $1.730 billion to $1.750 billion, implying roughly 29% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, with non-GAAP EPS of $2.43 to $2.49. The company raised its full-year outlook.

The muted 1% premarket gain likely reflects a market that had already anticipated strong results given the broader momentum in AI infrastructure spending, rather than any disappointment with numbers that were objectively exceptional.

Keysight Technologies has introduced a new simulation solution aimed at improving manufacturing efficiency and reducing costly production errors.

The company unveiled “Keysight Assembly,” a virtual process simulation tool that allows engineers to model real-world assembly workflows—such as part positioning, clamping, and joining—without requiring specialized finite element modeling expertise. The solution is designed to detect issues like distortion and dimensional risks earlier in the development cycle.

By integrating with Keysight’s existing stamping simulation software, the platform connects multiple stages of manufacturing into a unified workflow, enabling better validation before physical prototyping. The approach is expected to reduce trial-and-error processes, shorten development timelines, and improve overall build accuracy.

Keysight said the solution addresses a major challenge in industries such as automotive and industrial manufacturing, where late-stage defects can lead to costly recalls and delays.
