WaveChamber™ - RF Isolation Enclosure
The WaveChamber is designed to provide a simple and space-efficient solution for large-scale testing environments which involve multiple Wireless Access Points. It provides the isolation, cooling, and filtered signal connectivity needed to achieve accurate and repeatable results.
WaveChamber provides an RF-isolated environment small enough to support rack-mounting and desktop use, yet large enough to house most Access Points. Bulkhead mounted connections for RF cabling, filtered 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and console ports make interfacing to any Access Point quick and easy. WaveChamber includes a fan and front-to-back airflow providing adequate cooling, whether used on the bench-top or stacked in high density racks.
Benefits
- Designed to provide the highest density configurations for testing a complete wireless LAN system from Access Points to managed WLAN switches
- Greater than 80 dB of isolation at up to 6 GHz provides excellent isolation for wide range of wireless products
- Antennas, RF cabling and Ethernet cable included
- PoE Ethernet supported
- WaveChamber 1000 has a small rack mountable configuration in order to minimize space requirements, for example:
- Two units can be placed side by side using a single standard 19” rack (optional shelf for secure mounting available)
- Up to eight units can be accommodated along with the WT90 using a standard 19” rack setup
- WaveChamber 1100 is designed to house large multi-radio and outdoor Access Points
- Supports multiple RF, Console, RJ45 connections
- Up to three units can be accommodated on sliding shelves along with the WT90 using a standard 19” rack setup
- Top-opening for easy access
- WaveChamber 2000 can easily accommodate various types of 802.11n APs
- Two units can be placed side by side using a single standard 19” rack (optional shelf for secure mounting available)
- Up to 8 SMA connectors to support APs with two 4x4 MIMO interfaces
- Filtered Gigabit ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
- Top opening for easy access to multiple antenna connections of MIMO-based AP’s
- Also available as a rack mountable two-unit kit for use on a standard 19” rack
