ETS-Lindgren, the renowned leader in testing and measuring wireless devices, is gearing up to optimize their products using Anritsu’s Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A to capitalize on the revolutionary advancements brought forth by WiFi 7 (IEEE802.11be).

As one of the first-to-market WiFi 7 Solutions available, users now have a proven test system for performance verification testing of wireless devices in accordance with IEEE Standard 802.11be.

IEEE 802.11be, WiFi 7 is a significant leap forward in wireless technology, introducing features such as 320 MHz channels, Multi-link Operation (MLO), 4K QAM, 512 Compressed Block Ack, and Multiple RUs to a single STA. These innovations translate into tangible benefits, including two times increase in throughput, deterministic latency, enhanced efficiency, greater reliability, a 20% boost in transmission rates, reduced transmission overhead, and improved spectral efficiency.

Anritsu offers the Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A to evaluate RF TRX characteristics of WiFi 7 devices. This test set uses data-link layer communication protocols to control the signal per data rate, allowing RF evaluations to be performed at all major WLAN standards, including WiFi 7, at all data rates. This capability is essential because WLAN signal quality characteristics vary with each data rate.

ETS-Lindgren offers a diverse range of test chambers within its AMS family; standout models such as AMS-8050 and AMS-8900 are strategically positioned to facilitate thorough testing of WiFi 7 capabilities in wireless devices. Working with Anritsu to leverage the groundbreaking capabilities of WiFi 7, ETS-Lindgren is proactively aligning itself to provide forward-looking test services and products.  The utilization of Anritsu Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A for WiFi 7 OTA testing, specifically for TRP and TIS, is a key highlight. ETS-Lindgren is committed to assisting manufacturers in certifying and optimizing the performance of devices and networks in accordance with the new WiFi 7 standards.

As WiFi 7 continues to change the landscape of wireless technology, ETS-Lindgren and Anritsu have a variety of solutions available.
