Keysight OB5AP7SA Octobox Stack-Min
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
- Single simultaneous test location relative to the DUT across all 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-Min (access point testing, 4 station partners, 320 MHz single-user multiple-input multiple-output [SU-MIMO] over-the-air [OTA]), Stack-Mesh-Min (mesh network testing, 3 nodes, 4 real STAs), and Stack-STA-7-Min (station testing, 1 AP partner, 160 MHz SU-MIMO OTA)
- Quad-band throughput, band steering, AP steering, roaming, co-channel and adjacent channel emulation, and Tracker motion capture playback in the Mesh configuration
- Rate versus range (RvR), RvRvO, RvOvR, and RvRwR testing across all configurations
- Inline sniffing (AP-7 and STA-7 configurations)
- Dynamic frequency selection (DFS) testing with optional iGen; multipath testing with optional multipath emulator (MPE)
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.
With the addition of the Octobox Pal-7 test instrument, Octobox testbeds are ready to verify the operation and performance of devices supporting any Wi-Fi standards: 802.11b/g/a/n/ac/ax/be, including the new 6GHz band. The Pal-7 and STApal-7s function as a traffic partner, sniffer, virtual station emulator, and a load generator for testing throughput, capacity, roaming, band steering, and more characteristics.
