IQxel-MW 7G

Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 160MHz Test System

First Fully Integrated Tester for Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E in the 6 GHz Band, with Wi-Fi 7 EHT160 MHz support

Platform solution for 802.11 a/b/g/n/ 802.11ac, 802.11ax, and 802.11be testing in the 2.4 and 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands and the most popular wireless connectivity standards (Bluetooth^® 1.0 – 5.x, Bluetooth^® Channel Sounding, Zigbee, Z-Wave) as well as LPWAN technologies (Sigfox, LoRa).

As the FCC and other international regulatory agencies are working towards opening up the 6 GHz band (5.925-7.125 GHz) for unlicensed use, LitePoint’s new IQxel-MW 7G family of testers is designed to meet the demands of connectivity and cellular technologies testing up to 7.3 GHz.
