Keysight Technologies, Inc. is a global company headquartered in Santa Rosa, California, that manufactures hardware and software for engineering workflows across design, test, and emulation. It serves industries including communications (5G/6G/NTN), aerospace and defense, AI/data center networking, automotive, semiconductors, digital healthcare, quantum computing, and energy.
The company was formed as a spin-off of Agilent Technologies, which inherited and rebranded the test and measurement product lines developed and produced, from the late 1930s to the turn of the millennium, by Hewlett-Packard. Its name is a portmanteau of key and insight.
Since 2022, Satish Dhanasekaran has served as Keysight's CEO and president. Additional C-level executives include Neil Dougherty (CFO), Jason Kary (President, Electronic Industrial Solutions Group), and Kailash Narayanan (President, Communications Solutions Group).
Through expansions and acquisitions, the S&P 500-indexed company has grown beyond its initial focus on oscilloscopes to produce electronic design automation (EDA) software, network visibility and cybersecurity solutions, manufacturing technology, and system-level simulation platforms. It also works closely with more than 35 international engineering standards bodies to develop new standards and ensure accurate tests.
