• Compared to Wi-Fi 6 and 6E, Wi-Fi 7 raises the bar for wireless performance, in terms of network efficiency, capacity and speed.
  • This comprehensive testing model sets the stage for a new benchmark in Wi-Fi performance with RF, signalling and throughput testing that fosters connections that are not only faster and more reliable.

Wi-Fi 6 and 6E vs Wi-Fi 7

Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E set new benchmarks for wireless performance, significantly improving network efficiency, capacity and speed. RF testing ensures efficient use of spectrum and minimisation of interference.

Wi-Fi 7 provides industrial and home users with a wide range of devices such as telephones, smart devices, IoT, Industrial IoT, routers, range extenders and access points, and Client Premises Equipment (CPE).Wi-Fi 7 networks will provide significant benefits in congested environments such as airports, stadiums, hospitals, and smart factories.

Testing of transmitter power and receiver sensitivity

Signalling RF testing: a fundamental step towards excellence. Evaluating RF performance using signalling simulates how the device under test (DUT) would operate under real-world conditions.

Transmitter Power Measurement: Transmitter power is a critical parameter that directly affects the performance and compatibility of a device in a wireless network.

Transmitter Modulation Quality Measurement: Measuring modulation quality is another key metric to be measured. It refers to maintaining high signal quality when implementing different signal modes to minimise errors.

Transmitter Spectrum Quality Measurement: Measuring the performance of a Wi-Fi design at different frequencies is critical for smooth operation and reduced interference.

Receiver PER measurements: Understanding receiver characteristics is also important to ensure that the device not only captures but also accurately decodes the received signal.
