WaveBlade WiFi 802.11a/b/g
(1-port WBW1101, 1-port high power WBW1101P, 4-port WBW1104)
VeriWave’s WiFi 802.11 a/b/g WaveBlade series offers flexible, comprehensive testing of Wireless LAN network infrastructure devices including enterprise and consumer Access Points (APs) and controllers as well as wireless-enabled client devices such as PCs, dual-mode phones, patient monitors and scanners.
Scalable to 18,000 clients within a single WaveTest chassis, the WiFi WaveBlade series integrates traffic generation, performance analysis, mobile client behavior and distance emulation and enables both cabled lab testing as well as open-air field testing.
The WiFi WaveBlade series generates multi-protocol IP traffic from hundreds of independent stateful clients creating real world traffic conditions including inter-client contention. The effects of distance and propagation on AP and controller performance can be characterized through the granular variation of transmit power exhibited by each individual client.
The single-port WBW1101, the high-power WBW1101P and the 4-port WBW1104 are all line-cards that fits into VeriWave’s WT90 and WT20 chassis and interwork seamlessly with the WaveBlade WiFi 802.11n and WaveBlade Ethernet line-cards, offering seamless testing of the converged wireless/wired network edge.
Benefits
- Up to 500 fully independent, stateful 802.11 client state machines per port enable precise measurement of critical performance metrics at data rates reaching up to maximum theoretical limits
- Highly customizable mobile client roaming behavior
- Complete control over client medium access times to generate aggressive non-compliant clients and study the effects thereof on the AP and Controller
- Built-in transmit power control and per packet frame-error-injection to emulate real-world distance effects between AP and client
- Execute open-air field tests and/or cabled tests in lab environments
- Capability to introduce real-world effects such as hidden-node issues that cause client collisions resulting in transmission of malformed packets to the AP
- Industry-best simultaneous bi-directional (TX/RX) air-rate packet capture support of up to 256MB on each port
- User customizable client behavior and Traffic types ranging from raw 802.11 frames to a variety of IP-based higher level protocols including UDP, RTP etc.
- Fast, flexible functional, integration, and negative testing using VeriWave’s WaveDynamix™ test tool.
- Ease-of-use through simplified set-up in a wide-array of VeriWave Test Suites, Applications and WaveAutomation
