Azimuth Systems Introduces Enhanced 802.11a/b/g/n
Client Performance Test Suite
Automated Test Suite for Performance and Interoperability Benchmarking
of Wi-Fi Devices over a Broad Range of User Environments
ACTON, MA – November 9, 2009 – Azimuth Systems, Inc., a leading provider of wireless broadband
test equipment and channel emulators for LTE, WiMAX, 2G/3G cellular and Wi-Fi technologies, today announced the
new 802.11 a/b/g/n Client Performance Test Suite. Running on Azimuth’s ADEPT-n MIMO test platform, as well as
Azimuth’s DIRECTOR II test executive platform for automation, the new 802.11 a/b/g/n test suite will enable users
to more easily and quickly benchmark performance, interoperability and functionality of Wi-Fi devices under the
most demanding conditions to ensure the delivery of higher quality products and faster time-to-market.
“With the IEEE’s recent ratification of the 802.11n standard, we expect that the trend toward 802.11n will
continue and that interoperability and backward compatibility will emerge as key factors in driving growth and
adoption,” said George Reed, vice president of marketing and product management at Azimuth Systems. “Azimuth’s new
802.11 a/b/g/n Client Performance Test Suite provides an efficient and cost effective set of tests to insure
validation and quality control for both legacy 802.11 a/b/g devices and newer 802.11 a/b/g/n devices.”
A
key focus of the new test suite is to support the rapidly proliferating segment of non-traditional client devices
offering Wi-Fi, such as smartphones, game consoles, set top boxes and other multimedia devices. In addition to
supporting 802.11 a/b/g , many of these devices now support the 802.11n MIMO-based standard which offers
throughput in excess of 100 Mbps. Coupled with the emphasis on 802.11n testing is the necessity of maintaining and
testing backwards compatibility, coexistence and performance of existing 802.11a/b/g single antenna devices, which
are still being developed and sold.
The Azimuth 802.11 a/b/g/n Client Performance Test Suite is an
integrated solution that provides a set of comprehensive automated test scripts that streamline the testing of
802.11a/b/g single antenna or 802.11n multi antenna Wi-Fi client devices. The solution enables repeatable
application level performance testing of Wi-Fi client devices over a broad range of user environments and allows
the user to perform advanced tests that were previously difficult or impossible. With the Azimuth 802.11 a/b/g/n
Client Performance Test Suite, multiple different parameters can be defined such as modes of operation, connection
configuration, security mode and more, and tests may be performed in as many different functional modes as
required.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
