SCENARIO
Wi-Fi is now running mission-critical applications in homes, offices, hospitals, and many other places. Mission-critical applications require high-performing Wi-Fi devices to maximize uptime and improve user experience. However, most Wi-Fi IoT devices are still only qualified with basic throughput test cases. This woefully inadequate test strategy exposes companies to the risk of business applications failing in the field.
IXIA SOLUTIONS
To meet user expectations for anywhere, anytime access to mission-critical applications, Wi-Fi IoT device vendors need a comprehensive test strategy. Ixia IoT enables users to characterize IoT device performance over distance, channel models, roaming, ecosystems, and interference, while validating interoperability, stability, and functionality. We have designed Ixia IoT to validate Wi-Fi devices with a staged test approach that addresses the needs of teams involved in the early stages of the product life cycle (design/development), as well as the later stages of the product life cycle (pre-deployment/ integration/support).
Customers will be able to better assess their wireless IoT implementations by being able to do the following:
• Build robust, high-performance client devices using fully configurable simulators and an exhaustive built-in test library
• Simplify testbeds with an integrated product that also drastically cuts costs and time associated with setting up and maintaining testbeds
• Easily achieve network scale with built-in golden AP and client simulation to build better ecosystem client devices
• Reduce debugging cycles with real-time L1–7 statistics and KPIs
• Improve release cycles with an automated testbed
Ixia’s IoT test solution introduces a staged test approach for comprehensively characterizing IoT device performance before release.
