Industry-leading Performance for Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 6E, and Wi-Fi 6 Testing
Next generation wireless devices Access Points, CPEs and client devices like smartphones or tablets based on the IEEE 802.11be EHT (Extremely High Throughput) standard require stringent RF performance to meet the latest standard requirements. PHY features including tri-band operation in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz frequency bands, extra-wide 320 MHz channels, 4096 QAM modulation, up to 16 spatial streams and multi-link operation (MLO) are pushing the limits of Wi-Fi device’s RF performance and are ushering in a new era in connectivity. LitePoint has developed the IQxel-MX test platform with industry-leading performance to ensure that each and every wireless device tested meets or exceeds the stringent 802.11be requirements.
Wi-Fi 7, the fastest Wi-Fi generation requires the best performing test solution and LitePoint has developed the IQxel-MX test platform with industry-leading performance.
The IQxel-MX signal generation and analysis combine high performance, simplicity of use and superior test economics to cover the test requirements during the whole product development cycle from R&D to high-volume production. The IQxel-MX family is available in three configurations: 2 ports (2 VSA/VSG), 8 ports (2 VSA/VSG), and 16 ports (4 VSA/VSG). These support up to 2×2 and 4×4 true MIMO testing (extensible for higher order MIMO) and high efficiency multi-DUT parallel testing.
