Protocol and network test products
Systems used to check data-transfer rules, communications networks, and network components. Network visibility products also show information about network traffic, applications, and users.
System-level workload emulation tools
Tools that imitate data-center workloads and network traffic so customers can test how chips, switches, and systems perform under different conditions.
Design, simulation, and computer-aided engineering software
Software engineers use to create and simulate product designs, test them virtually, and manage design and engineering data.
Who buys it6
- Communications chip, device, and equipment makers buy instruments and software, often through Keysight's sales teams or channel partners.
- Communications network operators, cloud computing companies, and other data-center operators buy tools to develop, test, and monitor networks and equipment.
- Aerospace and defense contractors, satellite companies, and government research and security agencies buy tools to develop and test communications, radar, and other electronic systems.
Show 3 more
- Semiconductor designers, chip manufacturers, and semiconductor equipment companies buy design, measurement, and production-test tools.
- Automakers, automotive suppliers, and energy equipment companies buy software and instruments to design and test vehicle electronics, charging equipment, energy storage, and power systems.
- Electronics manufacturers, universities, and research organizations buy instruments and software for product design, testing, and teaching. More than 80% (fiscal year 2025, high) of Keysight's business involved customer interactions with its direct sales organization, according to the annual report.
What it stands on, and what could break it
What the business leans on
- 1Production depends on a global supplier network and contract manufacturers. Some custom-designed parts have limited alternative sources or take time to redesign.
- 2Keysight sells internationally and must comply with export controls, trade sanctions, and other local rules that can restrict sales or require export licenses.
- 3Demand depends on customers' spending to design, update, and manufacture products in communications, data centers, aerospace and defense, semiconductors, automotive, and energy.
What could go wrong
- 1If Keysight does not develop and release products that keep pace with changing technology and technical standards, customers may choose competing products or existing products may no longer meet their needs.
- 2Tariffs, tighter export controls, trade restrictions, and geopolitical events can increase costs or limit sales in countries and markets where Keysight operates.
- 3Shortages of supplier parts or limits on manufacturing capacity could delay customer orders. On the Q3 fiscal 2026 call, management said supply constraints could limit how quickly demand is converted into sales.
