Achieve High-Quality Wi-Fi Through Comprehensive Testing
Problem: Wi-Fi Networks Failing to Meet Mission-Critical Needs
Wi-Fi is mission-critical in our personal and business lives. It’s in our homes, offices, hospitals, coffee shops, and on our flights. Great Wi-Fi is no longer a luxury—it’s a must have. Great Wi-Fi networks are stable, with high capacity and performance, that exceed our quality of experience (QoE) needs. However, most Wi-Fi networks today are only qualified for coverage, with basic element and interoperability testing. This woefully inadequate test strategy exposes companies to the risk of their business applications failing in the field. Testing after deployment is not sufficient due to high cost and negative feedback.
Solution: Comprehensive Test to Validate Entire Wi-Fi Ecosystem
Keysight’s IxVeriWave helps deliver great Wi-Fi networks through a comprehensive test approach—delivering powerful independent Wi-Fi benchmarking, real-world ecosystems, functional, soak, and stability testing for wireless local area networks (WLANs). This is done in a controlled, repeatable, automatable, and easily configured environment that provides extensive visibility and debugging of results. Enterprises, carriers, network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) and chipset manufacturers all have testing roles to play to ensure world-class delivery and operation. The business benefits of using IxVeriWave include faster time to market for products, superior networks, and proactive problem resolution.

Benchmark (WaveApps)
The IxVeriWave WaveApps Benchmark Test Suite comes with several canned tests that runs with very minimal test configuration and provides insightful test reports in a fully automated fashion.
IEEE P802.11.2 Standard WLAN Benchmarking Test
The IEEE P802.11.2 Standard WLAN Benchmarking Test offers the complete set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 performance metrics defined by the IEEE P802.11.2 WLAN benchmarking methodology for APs, WLAN controllers, and WLAN switches. The focus of this test is on providing WLAN performance metrics through automated tests with scalable client-traffic generation. This enables users to quickly baseline the behavior of WLAN infrastructure network devices and expose any bottlenecks that might cause performance and scalability problems.
