Description

Pal-6 is a Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) test instrument and functions as a traffic partner, an expert analyzer, virtual station emulator and a load generator for testing throughput, capacity, roaming, band steering and more. The Pal-6 can be extended with a Bluetooth (BT) plug-in module to integrate BT test capabilities.

 

Features

  • 11ax up to 8x8 MIMO-OTA transmission
  • 4 and 5 GHz 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax radios and two BT5/BLE/BLE 2 GHz EDR radios
  • BT profiles: A2DP, OPP, HFP, HID, BLE HID
  • Wireshark synchroSniffer™ with a sniffer probe on each of the 5 radios for simultaneous Wi-Fi and Bluetooth sniffing
  • Up to 32 virtual Wi-Fi stations, vSTAs, per radio, up to 96 vSTAs total per Pal-6
  • Complete isolation from outside interference
  • REST API for test automation
  • Test script examples in Python

Benefits

  • Quickly and easily verify emerging 802.11ax and legacy Wi-Fi devices in the ideal 8x8 MIMO-OTA environment
  • Using the octoBox personal testbed, perform key tests including throughput vs. range vs. orientation, roaming, band steering, coexistence, WFA certification and more
  • Test BT/Wi-Fi coexistence
  • Test BT pairing and performance of peripheral devices, including speakers, keyboards, etc.
  • Perform root cause analysis of issues using built-in multi-channel sniffing
