Wi-Fi Testing

Wi-Fi 7 is revolutionizing wireless connectivity with faster speeds, lower latency, and greater spectrum efficiency. But how do these advancements impact mesh networks and why does mesh testing matter in Wi-Fi 7? While Wi-Fi 7 is often discussed in terms of its technical enhancements, its implications for mesh networking are just as significant. With the growing demand for seamless whole-home and enterprise coverage, ensuring that mesh networks can efficiently leverage Wi-Fi 7’s capabilities is essential. However, the complexity of mesh systems introduces new challenges in maintaining reliable, high-speed performance.

Wi-Fi was once a nice-to-have feature that allowed people to browse the internet and check email, today’s Wi-Fi apps are becoming increasingly crucial.

This whitepaper explores Wi-Fi 7’s advancements through a testing system overview and feature introduction. It discusses legacy Wi-Fi, Octobox testbeds, and Octobox software with REST API and ScriptManager integration. Challenges in testing Wi-Fi 7’s capabilities are noted.

Wi-Fi 7 is just around the corner. Along with its technological enhancements and promised improvements come just as many implementation and testing challenges. This webinar series discusses legacy Wi-Fi and explores Wi-Fi 7's advancements through a testing system overview and key feature introduction. In this first session we take a look at features encompassing 4096 QAM, new preamble design, 320 MHz bandwidth, Multi RU for concurrent users, and enhanced QoS. This includes Wi-Fi 7's latency improvements and Restricted Service Periods for latency assurance. We’ll end with a demo of latency histograms.
