Wireless Client Test Bench
The Wireless Client Test Bench is an integrated solution ideally suited for state-of-the-art testing of 802.11 clients. This highly integrated hardware and software solution allows clients to be tested and optimized for “real-world” wireless environments and other “what-if” scenarios in a controlled environment.
Features and Benefits
- PProvides wireless client (DUT) RF isolation for accurate measurements of DUT behavior with varying degrees of controlled interference
- Creates path and distance emulation between DUT and one or multiple AP’s to measure rate adaptation and roaming capabilities
- Wireless Client Test Bench Contains:
- Client isolation enclosure
- RF Management Unit
- Patch panels (for 8 AP and 12 AP systems)
- The Wireless Client Test Bench is part of a complete integrated solution which also contains WaveAgent, WaveClient and WaveDynamix
- The RF Management Unit offers a centralized wiring hub for connectivity between DUT and all AP’s and VeriWave Traffic
- Generation and monitoring system; it houses all RF connection components, including splitters, combiners and path and distance emulation circuitry
WaveAgent
WaveAgent is a test utility loaded onto a networking device. It provides device-specific measurements of forwarding rate, throughput, loss, round-trip latency and jitter when enabled by VeriWave’s WaveDynamix and WaveClient applications.
- Features
- Measures and reports end-user experience on the DUT (forwarding rate, loss, latency, etc.)
- Very small footprint (<64kbytes) does not interfere with normal operation of DUT
- Supported OS’s: Windows Mobile 6, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux
- Benefits
- Enables performance testing of the client’s 802.11 subsystem (device driver and integration) independently of the application
- Enables performance testing during silicon qualification (on eval boards), post driver integration on client hardware, and on integrated client during troubleshooting
- Allows testing to occur earlier in the development cycle
WaveClient
WaveClient allows clients to be tested and optimized for “real-world wireless environments” & other “what-if” scenarios in a controlled environment.
- Features
- Dashboard to run tests
- Controls Client Test Bench for path and distance emulation
- Creates eco-system traffic
- Produces complete and easy-to-understand test reports
- Measures the performance of DUT with eco-system traffic and how eco-system affects DUT
- Benefits
- Quantifies and Qualifies Client device’s real-world performance
- Uncovers client’s real-world operational issues before deployment
- Ensures Quality of Experience for all users including client devices
- Improves test efficiency through easy setup and execution of tests
- Obtain repeatable scenarios and reliable results
