About Viavi Solutions Inc.
About Viavi Solutions Inc.
Viavi Solutions serves telecom, defense, cloud, and banknote markets through two segments: NSE (network test instruments and monitoring software) and OSP (optical security pigments and thin-film coatings). The company employs approximately 3,600 people across 31 countries as of June 28, 2025, holds approximately 1,085 U.S. patents and 2,075 foreign patents with an average patent age of 9.0 years, and deploys millions of NSE test units globally. OSP pigments protect banknotes in more than 100 countries.
NSE earns revenue from portable test instruments sold to communications service providers and network equipment manufacturers, software used in network operations centers, and AIOps platforms for enterprise IT. NSE's customer base includes América Móvil, AT&T, Lumen Technologies, Ciena, Cisco, Ericsson, Nokia, British Telecom Openreach, Deutsche Telekom, and Verizon. The segment competes with Anritsu, EXFO, Keysight Technologies, Rohde & Schwarz, Spirent, and NetScout. OSP sells anti-counterfeiting pigments — OVP and OVMP — through a strategic marketing alliance with SICPA Holding SA for banknote applications, and directly to customers including Lockheed Martin and Seiko Epson for 3D sensing, aerospace, and automotive applications. OSP revenue is expected to be seasonally stronger in the first two fiscal quarters due to consumer electronics 3D sensing demand.
Show full overview
The OSP segment's commercial reach for its banknote pigment lines rests almost entirely on SICPA Holding SA, the company's exclusive marketing and sales alliance partner for OVP and OVMP products worldwide. The 10-K notes that a material reduction in sales or loss of this relationship could harm business and operating results, since VIAVI may be unable to find a substitute partner or build the capability internally in a timely manner. Separately, the 10-K identifies a highly concentrated NSE customer base for many product lines, noting pricing pressure from Asia-based competitors and communication industry consolidation could weigh on contract terms over time.
