Candela 推出802.11ac WiFi 性能測試設備 CT525-696-3ac-3n

Candela announces the new product CT525-696-3ac-3n for 802.11ac WiFi Station Emulator. 

 

The LANForge WiFIRE CT525-696-3ac-3n is a 802.11ac/a/b/g/n 6 Radio WiFi Station Emulator. It simulates up to 600 802.11a/b/g/n and 96 /ac Wireless Stations in one 2U system. Each radio can be configured independently, and each Virtual Station has its own IP address, IP port space, MAC address and routing table. Excellent for testing Access Points and other WiFi networks. 
 

The CT525-696-3ac-3n uses a modified Wireless driver for WiFi NICs based on the Atheros chipset. The ath9k (a/b/g/n) chipset can support up to 200 stations per radio. The ath10k (a/b/g/n/AC) chipset NICs can support up to 32 stations per radio. The Virtual Stations can be assigned to communicate to a particular Access Point, use a particular SSID, and Open or WPA/WPA2 authentication assigned. More advanced 802.1X authentication is also included. There are three a/b/g/n/AC and three a/b/g/n WiFi radios per CT525-696-3ac-3n and multiple CT525-696-3ac-3n systems can be clustered together for even more realistic radio interference patterns and increased traffic generation capability. Each radio can be configured idependently of the other. Transmit power and channel/frequency is configured on a per-radio basis. Most other settings are configurable per virtual station.
