Wi-Fi Testing

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.

Wi-Fi test plan introduces approaches that encourage out-of-the-box testing to emulate a customer’s experience.

Wi-Fi 7 brings new functionality to the table, which also adds new testing challenges. New features include lower latency and faster throughput rate with an increased physical layer of 4k QAM and a wider bandwidth of 320MHz. Due to the special relationships that Spirent has with some chipset vendors, we have already begun working with early versions of Wi-Fi 7 in our lab, testing device performance in a controlled, isolated environment, emulating real world scenarios, and achieving repeatable throughput. In this latest interview Fanny Mlinarsky discusses how Spirent is already testing Wi-Fi 7 in the lab for device performance in a controlled environment using real world scenarios.

Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing Access (OFDMA) introduced in Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) is one of the most important features in this generation of Wi-Fi technology. However, testing Wi-Fi 6E OFDMA can be a challenging task due to the complex nature of features defined in 802.11ax standard.
