Problem: Not Knowing How Wi-Fi Networks Will Really Perform

Wi-Fi is mission-critical in our personal and business lives. It’s in our homes, offices, hospitals, coffee shops, and flights. High-quality 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) expectations. However, most Wi-Fi networks today are only qualified for coverage with basic element and interoperability testing. This woefully inadequate testing exposes companies to the risk of their business applications failing in the field. Testing after deployment is not an option due to high cost and negative feedback.

Solution: Comprehensive Testing

IxVeriWave™ helps deliver high-quality Wi-Fi networks through a comprehensive test approach. Delivering powerful independent Wi-Fi benchmarking, real-world ecosystems, and functional, soak, and stability testing for WLAN networks. This is done in a controlled, repeatable, automatable, and easily configured environment that provides extensive visibility and debugging of results. Enterprises, carriers, equipment makers, and chipset manufacturers all have testing roles in ensuring world-class delivery and operation. Business benefits of using IxVeriWave include faster time to market for products, superior networks, and proactive problem resolution.

Wi-Fi and LTE Coexistence Validation Methods

Wi-Fi and LTE Coexistence Validation Methods

As we approach 2020, wireless technologies are dominating communications, and the interaction between cellular and Wi-Fi is becoming more complex. LTE-U, LAA, and MulteFire standards all bring LTE transmissions that will interfere with existing Wi-Fi networks in the unlicensed bands. To validate and test the impact of new technologies on Wi-Fi networks, organizations need an automated, repeatable multinetwork Wi-Fi baseline environment—one where the impact of interfering networks can be measured and analyzed. Read this white paper to discover validation methods.

Are Wireless Medical Devices "Hospital Grade"?

Are Wireless Medical Devices "Hospital Grade"?

Wi-Fi-enabled medical devices are on the rise, driven by innovations like “smart” infusion pumps, ubiquitous mobile access to electronic medical records (EMR), and cost-savings from standards-based networks. These Internet of Things (IoT) devices are revolutionizing healthcare and transforming how healthcare professionals deliver services. What is today just a wireless medical device used to monitor a patient, may tomorrow allow healthcare professionals to prevent impending health crises before they can occur. But this vision can only be realized if the wireless medical devices and the networks on which they operate can deliver hospital-grade connectivity, security, and mobility. In this mission-critical environment, nothing can be left to chance. This white paper explores the diverse challenges impacting the WLAN and the growing number of wireless medical devices in hospital environments. It examines two real-world examples of IoT product releases gone wrong, providing an overview of the risks and issues inherent in optimizing wireless medical device performance. And, it outlines the best practices for cost-effectively mitigating those risks and ensuring the highest level of quality in life-critical deployment scenarios.

BYOD Mitigation Starts in the WLAN

BYOD Mitigation Starts in the WLAN

BYOD and anywhere, anytime connectivity is now the norm. The added expectation is being able to run any application from any device. While BYOD clearly has its upsides, it also poses risks to the enterprise when adopting a BYOD strategy. Performance, and the overall user experience, can only be as good as what the network can deliver. The WLAN ecosystem of access points (APs), controllers, and user/client devices themselves must all work in sync to sustain performance and predictability as the mix of devices and applications changes from day to day, or minute to minute. In this informative white paper, BYOD Mitigation Starts in the WLAN, Ixia subject matter experts take you through BYOD mitigation techniques and the importance of validating throughout development, and most importantly, before bringing new AP and controller designs to market to assess device performance and the impact on live networks.
