VIAVI expands edge monitoring platform to support diverse private network environments

Chandler, Ariz., January 14 2026  – Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) today announced enhancements to its XEdge cloud-based edge monitoring and assurance platform with new sensors that strengthen data collection capabilities for private 4G, 5G and Wi-Fi networks at the edge.

Designed to provide continuous visibility into device connectivity and network performance, XEdge combines unattended edge sensors, centralized cloud dashboards and automated analytics. The enhanced XEdge portfolio now supports multiple complementary sensor types, allowing customers to scale deployments according to monitoring needs, site density and operational constraints:

  • XEdge v2, the latest evolution of the original XEdge sensor, is a portable, multi-carrier unit designed for comprehensive monitoring. Supporting up to four cellular modems, XEdge v2 enables high-capacity data collection for continuous monitoring, walk tests and drive tests in complex private network environments.
  • XEdge Lite is a compact sensor designed for fixed installation and dense or distributed placement. Supporting a single cellular modem, it enables targeted, always-on monitoring across private networks. XEdge Lite is available in a standard form factor or with an enclosure suitable for harsh indoor and outdoor environments, including IP67-rated deployments.

The portfolio will continue to expand with mobile, on-demand data collection using compatible devices, extending visibility into real-world user experience and localized network conditions. All sensors are operated through the XEdge Controller and support the same testing scenarios.
