Anritsu and EMITE announce 802.11ax TRP/TIS OTA Test Platform

Anritsu and EMITE have announced their latest combined solution for testing the latest IEEE 802.11 WLAN standard. Anritsu told Incisor that its Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A has been successfully integrated in combination with the EMITE E600 Reverberation Chamber to test OTA TRP/TIS performance of IEEE 802.11ax devices in a repeatable environment. With built-in communications protocols and optimized performance for WLAN testing, the MT8862A + EMITE reverberation chamber are claimed to be able to characterize with high reliability the performance of the latest devices in the market.

The new integration has been able to measure total radiated power (TRP) and total isotropic sensitivity (TIS) OTA performance for IEEE 802.11ax devices. EMITE and Anritsu believe that being able to test the latest WLAN standards will keep the at the leading edge of technology and will help customers and service providers deliver their WLAN solutions to the market with total confidence in the performance.

“We are proud once again to develop a world’s first capability for testing 802.11ax Over-The-Air with the aid of Anritsu’s unique Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A and our E600 Reverberation Chamber WLAN OTA test platform. The unique capabilities of the Anritsu-EMITE WLAN OTA Test Platform cannot be met by competitors, and some of our major customers have already shown extreme interest”, said David Sánchez, CEO of EMITE.

“WLAN OTA performance test demand is recently increasing in order to secure the brand position with high-quality WLAN products. The IEE802.11ax will be a standard WLAN technology in the future from the latest technologies and features viewpoint, and we are also proud to release the OTA test solution collaborated with EMITE’s leading-edge chamber products to the world-wide market”, said Hideo.
