WiMAX Client Performance Test Suite |
Azimuth Systems Introduces
Enhanced 802.11 a/b/g/n Client Performance Test Suite
Azimuth Systems, Inc.
November 9, 2009
Automated Test Suite for Performance and Interoperability
Benchmarking of Wi-Fi Devices Over a Broad Range of User Environments
Acton, MA -- Azimuth Systems, Inc., a leading provider of wireless
broadband test equipment and channel emulators for LTE, WiMAX, 2G/3G
cellular and Wi-Fi technologies, today announced the new 802.11 a/b/g/n
Client Performance Test Suite. Running on Azimuth's ADEPT-n MIMO test
platform, as well as Azimuth's DIRECTOR II test executive platform for
automation, the new 802.11 a/b/g/n test suite will enable users to more
easily and quickly benchmark performance, interoperability and
functionality of Wi-Fi devices under the most demanding conditions to
ensure the delivery of higher quality products and faster
time-to-market. |

"With the IEEE's recent ratification of
the 802.11n standard, we expect that the trend toward 802.11n will
continue and that interoperability and backward compatibility will
emerge as key factors in driving growth and adoption," said George Reed,
vice president of marketing and product management at Azimuth Systems.
"Azimuth's new 802.11 a/b/g/n Client Performance Test Suite provides an
efficient and cost effective set of tests to insure validation and
quality control for both legacy 802.11 a/b/g devices and newer 802.11
a/b/g/n devices."
A key focus of the new test suite is to support the rapidly
proliferating segment of non-traditional client devices offering Wi-Fi,
such as smartphones, game consoles, set top boxes and other multimedia
devices. In addition to supporting 802.11 a/b/g, many of these devices
now support the 802.11n MIMO-based standard which offers throughput in
excess of 100 Mbps. Coupled with the emphasis on 802.11n testing, is the
necessity of maintaining and testing backwards compatibility,
coexistence and performance of existing 802.11 a/b/g single antenna
devices, which are still being developed and sold.
The Azimuth 802.11 a/b/g/n Client Performance Test Suite is an
integrated solution that provides a set of comprehensive automated test
scripts that streamline the testing of 802.11 a/b/g single antenna or
802.11n multi antenna Wi-Fi client devices. The solution enables
repeatable application level performance testing of Wi-Fi client devices
over a broad range of user environments and allows the user to perform
advanced tests that were previously difficult or impossible. With the
Azimuth 802.11 a/b/g/n Client Performance Test Suite, multiple different
parameters can be defined such as modes of operation, connection
configuration, security mode and more, and tests may be performed in as
many different functional modes as required.
