ACTON, MA -- 11/09/09 --
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.
