TCS has played a key role in VIAVI’s growth and transformation, collaborating across new product development, managing existing product portfolios, integrating new products from acquisitions, and reimagining critical business functions. More recently, TCS helped VIAVI develop a first-of-its-kind 5G Open RAN portfolio of test verification and assurance solutions such as TM500 O-RU Tester, TeraVM O-DU Tester, and an end-to-end Open RAN test product suite.
