802.11 a/b/g/n Client Performance Test Suite
The Azimuth 802.11 a/b/g/n Client Performance Test Suite for PCs, smartphones and other Wi-Fi client devices provides a set of comprehensive automated test scripts that streamline the testing of client devices like PCs, handsets, game consoles and more for service providers, manufacturers and semiconductor vendors. The solution enables repeatable application level performance testing of Wi-Fi client devices over a broad range of user environments. Azimuth Systems 802.11 a/b/g/n test suite enables users to easily and quickly benchmark performance, interoperability and functionality of Wi-Fi devices in the most trying conditions to ensure faster time to market and customer satisfaction.
The Performance Test Solution enables users to:
- Thoroughly analyze the performance of data and converged Wi-Fi clients in a variety of range, roaming, and impairment conditions
- Perform advanced tests that were previously difficult or impossible
- Measure performance under various operational states, motion and traffic conditions
- Produce accurate and repeatable test results
- Bring higher quality products to market faster
The Performance Test Suite includes the following tests:
|
Client Range Test
|
Analyzes the throughput and rate adaptation performance of a device
|
Data throughput (Mbps)
|
|
Rate Sensitivity Test
|
At each fixed data rate, this script measures the throughput of the device as a function of range from the Access Point
|
Data throughput
(rate adaptation graph)
|
|
Client Roaming Test
|
Measures session integrity and roam time by emulation of a roaming setting through precise control of the motion between the DUT and two different Wi-Fi Access Points.
|
Roam time (ms)
Data throughput (Mbps)
|
The MIMO Data Client Performance Test Suite runs on the ADEPT-n functional test platform. The ADEPT-n leverages sophisticated motion emulation in an isolated controlled RF architecture for reliable and repeatable performance as well as interoperability testing of real clients and access points. In addition, the ADEPT-n platform enables functional and protocol analysis testing using advanced built-in capture engines.
