IQxel-MW™ 7G Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E up to 7.3 GHz Measurement Solution
First fully integrated tester for Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E in the 6 GHz band
To address the demand of unlicensed applications in the 6 GHz band, LitePoint’s IQxel-MW 7G family of testers was designed to verify the performance of connectivity and cellular technologies up to 7.3 GHz.Working closely with major chipset manufacturers and engaging them from the earliest stages of chipset development, the IQxel-MW 7G is tailored to provide cost-effective, seamless transition from the lab to production.This fully integrated test solution, supports a continuous frequency range from 400 MHz to 7.3 GHz, thereby ensuring coverage for Wi-Fi testing in the 2.4 and 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands and the most popular wireless connectivity standards (Bluetooth, Bluetooth 5, Bluetooth 5.1, Zigbee, Z-Wave) as well as LPWAN technologies (Sigfox, LoRa). Additionally, this truly versatile platform includes support for TDD and FDD cellular signals for legacy 2G/3G and mainstream 4G LTE, LAA, and 5G 3GPPNR technologies, securing a future-proof test solution for FR1 testing and an ideal platform for testing Wi-Fi and cellular coexistence. For R&D characterization or high volume production, the IQxel-MW 7G family is available in three configurations: 2 ports (2 VSA/VSG), 8 ports (2 VSA/VSG), and 16 ports (4 VSA/VSG). These support up to 2×2 and 4×4 true MIMO testing (extensible to 8×8) and high efficiency parallel testing for up to 16 devices.
