Ixia Solutions Group (ISG) revenue was $127 million in the first quarter. ISG saw increased shipments for its high-speed Ethernet 400G test solutions and overall, support renewals reached a new record.
Services Solutions Group (SSG) revenue grew 6 percent to $106 million driven by increase in sales for remarketed solutions and calibration and regional strength in the Americas and Asia Pacific.
