Keysight OB5AP7MA Octobox Stack-Mid
Highlights
- Isolates devices under test (DUT) from outside interference for repeatable throughput and performance measurements
- Supports Wi-Fi standards 802.11b/g/a/n/ac/ax/be - including Wi-Fi 7 and the 6 GHz band - with the Pal-7 test instrument
- Built-in turntable, multipath emulator, interference generator, and internal antennas
- Multiple simultaneous test locations relative to the DUT - up to 2 (AP-7 configuration), 4 (Mesh), or 1 + 2 (STA-7)
- Multiple-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) over-the-air (OTA) testing - up to 2 STAs (AP-7 configuration) and 4x4 MU-MIMO OTA (STA-7)
- Dual-band max throughput (AP-7 and STA-7 configurations); tri-band throughput (STA-7); quad-band throughput (Mesh)
- synchroSniffer probes for synchronized packet capture - 4 (AP-7 configuration), 16 (Mesh), or 24 (STA-7)
- Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) testing with up to 16 STAs (Mesh and STA-7 configurations)
- Automation server with browser user interface (UI), REST application programming interface (API), MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js
- Available in three configuration options: Stack-AP-7-Mid (access point testing, 8 station partners, 320 MHz single-user MIMO [SU-MIMO] OTA), Stack-Mesh-Mid (mesh network testing, 3 nodes, 16 real STAs), and Stack-STA-7-Mid (station testing, 2 AP partners, 24 real STA partners)
- Quad-band throughput, band steering, access point (AP) steering, roaming, co-channel and adjacent channel emulation, and Tracker motion capture playback in the Mesh configuration
- Roaming, co-channel and adjacent channel emulation, and Tracker playback also available in the STA-7 configuration
- Rate versus range (RvR), RvRvO, RvOvR, and RvRwR testing across all configurations
- Dynamic frequency selection (DFS) testing with optional iGen; multipath testing with optional multipath emulator (MPE)
Software packages (sold separately):
- Tracker - plays back motion captures recorded in real-world environments for roaming, steering, and mesh load-balancing scenarios
- TR-398 Automation Package - executes Broadband Forum TR-398 test cases for AP performance benchmarking
- RFC 2544 Automation Package - runs Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 2544 benchmark tests for throughput, latency, frame loss rate, and back-to-back frames
- Mesh Automation Package - characterizes mesh network performance using black-box testing with simulated real-world home environments
Octobox testbeds come fully integrated with a built-in turntable, multipath emulator, interference generator, internal antennas, and programmable RF attenuators, and arrive ready to test MIMO throughput, roaming, and other wireless performance characteristics. The Octobox series enables service providers, device manufacturers, and chipset vendors to optimize wireless service reliability and capacity thanks to the ease and speed of automated repeatable testing. It is available in four standard configurations and can be customized based on individual needs.
