IXIA WBW1104N WaveBlade Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n 

IxVeriWave’s Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n WaveBlade series provides a state-of-the-art, industry-first test solution for evaluating the functionality and performance of IEEE 802.11n-based WLAN networking products. Designed for testing network infrastructure devices including consumer access points （AP） and reference designs, enterprise/carrier grade access points and controllers, and entire Wireless LAN （WLAN） networks, WaveBlades integrate both traffic generation/analysis and multi-path channel emulation capabilities on a single platform.

• The WBW2000 generates traffic from hundreds of independent stateful clients and makes it easy to determine the effects of complex MIMO propagation on 802.11n access point and controller performance by subjecting each individual client to any of the IEEE-defined channel emulation models
• The WBW1104N generates more than 500 Mbps of traffic from 2000 fully stateful clients per blade to enable cost-effective, feature-rich functional and performance testing of 802.11n controllers
• The WBW1001P is a single-port, high-power 802.11 module suitable for open air testing

WaveBlade Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n line-cards fit into IxVeriWave’s WT90 and WT20 chassis and interwork seamlessly with WaveBlade Ethernet line-cards. Modules provide the essential tools necessary to complete various types of testing ranging from functional testing at the AP level to scale testing a large 802.11n infrastructure network.

Key Features

• Up to 500 fully independent, stateful 802.11n clients per port enable precise measurement of critical performance metrics at data rates reaching up to maximum theoretical limits
• Highly scaled setup in a single test-bed to test real-world deployment levels of controllers, APs, and clients
• Ease-of-use through simplified setup including single-click selection of desired channel model to be used on clients in a wide array of IxVeriWave Test Suites
• Built-in channel models help determine real-world performance in six typical WLAN multi-path scenarios, per recommendations of IEEE 802.11n task group （WBW2000 only）
• Full support of IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n traffic generation and analysis simplified setup in a wide array of IxVeriWave Test Suites, applications, and WaveAutomation
