Keysight Technologies introduces the E7515W UXM Wireless Connectivity Test Platform for Wi-Fi®, a network emulation solution delivering signaling radio frequency (RF) and throughput testing for devices using Wi-Fi 7, including 4×4 MIMO 320 MHz bandwidth.
The new Turnkey solution(New Wireless Test Platform) from Keysight simulates Wi-Fi devices and traffic to cover new use cases on the latest IEEE 802.11be standards.
Combines capabilities for faster test setups, less complexity, and better performance to accelerate time-to-market for Wi-Fi 7 devices.
Developed by the IEEE as the 802.11be standard, Wi-Fi 7 is the next generation of Wi-Fi wireless communications technology, promising significant performance advancements and improvements over the previous Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 6 standards.
As with any new wireless technology, device makers must perform extensive signaling RF and throughput on clients and access points (AP) to ensure Wi-Fi 7 devices work as intended when deployed. However, existing solutions require extremely complicated test setups with large number of Wi-Fi devices and network channels to emulate real-world operating conditions.
The newest Keysight UXM Wireless Connectivity Test Solution addresses this challenge by giving RF engineers a turnkey solution that simplifies Wi-Fi 7 testing and provides unique physical (PHY) layer and media access control (MAC) layer insights.
The E7515W UXM Wireless Connectivity Test solution offers the following benefits:
- Built on proven Keysight metrology: Expands the market leading UXM 5G Network Emulation Solution to simulate Wi-Fi devices and traffic to cover new use cases on the latest IEEE 802.11be standards.
- Wi-Fi 7 scale: The Network Emulation Solution Emulates hundreds of clients at once – three-times more than existing solutions in the market – with traffic simulation without the need for additional equipment.
- Wi-Fi 7 throughput: Network Emulation Solution Supports Wi-Fi 7 4×4 MIMO 320 MHz bandwidth and performs Wi-Fi 7 signaling RF and throughput testing on clients and APs, including the latest 802.11 variants.
- Deeper insights: Uses analysis software to provide PHY / MAC-level information such as rate versus range, enhanced Rx sensitivity, radio unit (RU) sweep analysis, and full-rate throughput to generate relevant Wi-Fi signaling and RF throughput results.
- Integrated, turnkey platform: The Network Emulation Solution Tests more complex devices with 5G and LTE capabilities Wi-Fi / cellular interworking validation as well as integrated fixed wireless access (FWA) testing for the fast-growing customer premises equipment (CPE) market.
- Simplified testing: Offers inherent synchronization, better repeatability, reduced time spent on cabling and test setup, higher automation, and faster debugging and reporting.
