The Octobox Pal-7 is a test instrument with 4x4 MIMO OTA, tri-band radios, Synchrosniffer packet capture, and up to 320 vSTAs for AP and station testing.

Highlights

The Keysight Octobox Pal-7 delivers automated Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) performance testing across the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands using the Qualcomm QCN9274 chipset with up to 4x4 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) over-the-air (OTA) transmission.

Key specs

  • Four 802.11be radios supporting channel bandwidths up to 320 MHz on 6 GHz
  • Up to 320 virtual stations (vSTAs) per Pal-7 (4 × 80 single-radio) or 80 multi-link operation (MLO) capable vSTAs
  • 28 dBm transmit (TX) power; −97 dBm receive (RX) sensitivity
  • Three 10 GbE ports — two for traffic, one for management and streaming captures

Testing capabilities

  • Operates as a station (STA), access point (AP), or monitor for flexible test configurations
  • Tests orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) and multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) simultaneously
  • Supports fixed modulation coding scheme (MCS), bandwidth, and spatial stream settings for rate adaptation debugging
  • Real-time physical layer monitoring of received signal strength indicator (RSSI), data rate, MCS, number of spatial streams (Nss), and channel width

Analysis and integration

  • Synchrosniffer captures packets in PCAP format to Wireshark in real time, synchronized via Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
  • Inline and monitor-mode sniffer probes for analyzing band steering, roaming, and mesh behavior
  • Multiperf traffic tool supports multipoint-to-multipoint traffic with automatic recovery from disconnections
  • REST API for test automation
  • Available in open form factor (OB-PAL-7-Open) for walk-in chambers or open-air environments, or as a subsystem (OBS-67) built into Smartbox chambers
