The Equipment

Professional-grade
gear. No compromises.

We invested in the same equipment used by the world's leading Wi-Fi vendors — because accurate results require accurate tools. Every test runs on hardware that eliminates variables, not paper over them.

Schedule a Test Run

RF Isolation Chamber

Full electromagnetic isolation eliminates ambient interference. Every test runs in a controlled RF environment with no external signal contamination — results are reproducible and comparable across devices.

Candela LANforge

Industry-standard traffic generation and client emulation platform. Simulates real Wi-Fi stations, generates precise traffic loads, and captures granular per-client performance data across every test scenario.

LitePoint IQxel

Precision spectrum analysis and EVM testing for Wi-Fi 6, 6E, and 7. Validates spectral flatness, EVM, transmit power, and RF mask compliance — the tests that matter for real-world performance.

Programmable Attenuators & WAN Impairment

Simulate real-world signal degradation and network impairment conditions — packet loss, latency, jitter, and varying signal strength — to test AP performance beyond ideal lab conditions.

What We Test

7,500+ test cases across
every metric that matters.

Our test library covers the full spectrum of enterprise Wi-Fi performance — from raw throughput to protocol-level roaming behavior. Our methodology is anchored in TR-398, the Broadband Forum's gold-standard AP test suite.

Throughput & Capacity

Single-client maximum throughput
Multi-client concurrent load
Uplink/downlink ratio testing
MU-MIMO & OFDMA efficiency
Saturation point identification

Latency & Quality

Round-trip latency under load
Jitter measurement
VoIP & video call simulation
QoS & WMM verification
Packet loss under stress

Roaming Behavior

802.11k/v/r compliance
Roaming trigger thresholds
Handoff latency measurement
Sticky client behavior
BSS Transition Management

Spectrum & RF

Who Uses Our Lab

Built for the people who
have to get it right.

Our lab serves two primary audiences — both of whom need independent, reproducible data they can trust.

Audience 01

Hardware Vendors & Manufacturers

Bring your AP to our lab before launch or mid-development. We'll put it through the same tests your enterprise customers will run — giving you independent validation, competitive benchmarking data, and a clear picture of where your product stands before it ships. Our test reports carry weight because they're vendor-neutral. Not sure what benchmarking involves? Read our complete guide.

Audience 02

Enterprise Buyers & IT Procurement

Evaluating two or three AP platforms for a major deployment? Don't rely on vendor datasheets or marketing comparisons. Send us the candidates — we'll run them through identical test scenarios in our chamber and deliver a side-by-side comparison based on real performance data. Buy with confidence, not hope.
