邁訊科技與Candela致力於對最新的Wi-Fi技術提供成本可控的測試解決方案。LANforge協助產品製造商在研發及驗證階段做長時間大量且複雜的自動化測試，包含Rate vs. Range (RvR)，Rate vs. Range vs. Orientation (RvRvO)，Capacity (Multi-client)，dual-band，Mesh，RFC2544等。在認證方面Candela也是Broad forum的會員，針對TR398i1, TR398i2, TR398i3提供自動化的完整測試方案。針對最新的Wi-Fi7，Candela將在2023年第三季正式發表對應方案，Wi-Fi7帶來新的技術及測試挑戰，MLO（多重連結作業）、4096QAM調變、320MHz頻寬，新的調變技術、更高的頻寬帶來更高的吞吐量Throughput。Meshlink邁訊科技與Candela Technology將協助客戶一同面對新的挑戰，並於近期佈建WiFi7 demo環境供客戶一起探索最新的技術。請隨時關切邁訊科技網站資訊或隨時與我們的技術窗口聯繫(support@meshlink.com.tw)。

Release Note (5.4.6)

• • TR398v2: Improve 'clear-counters' logic: Instead of stopping and starting connections, slow them to 1% of requested traffic, wait 3 seconds, clear counters (slower traffic reduces inaccuracies due to pkts-in-flight), set back to full requested traffic rate.
  • TR398v2: Support running multiple connections in some tests to allow higher performance by utilizing more CPU cores.
  • TR398v2: Support configuring a 2.4 and 5g angle to run tests that do not otherwise change the turntable. This lets one run the RvO test, pick the best angle, and then run further tests at that good angle.
  • TR398v2: Improve reports (add some new graphs, improve layout, etc)
  • TR398v2: Add multi-band test for Issue-3.
  • TR398v2: Update to latest attenuation settings for Issue-3 rev-16 document.
  • Add station-mesh test automation: DUT in this case is phone or similar, LANforge provides mesh APs in bridged as well as routed topologies. Automated mobility implemented by changing attenuators provides throughput over range while roaming.
  • AP-Auto: Add Channel Switching Test. Verify AP will change channel when co-channel interfering AP + STA are active.
  • Dataplane: Add latency reports to show latency vs signal and rotation.
  • Add support for Mac-OS (x86-64 and ARM), including ability to configure wifi, generate layer-3 tcp and udp traffic, layer-4 https traffic, and more.
  • Add feature to virtual station configuration, allowing user to specify which band the station should prefer using when initially connecting to a network.
  • Support MTK7916 radio high-band switching between 5GHz and 6GHz, the radio may be used on either 2GHz/5GHz or 2GHz/6GHz. System reboot is required when switching modes.
  • 'Test Groups' feature renamed to 'Connection Groups'. Functionality has not changed.
  • TR398v2: Add xlsx spread sheet format report.
  • Support UDP-GRO layer-3 connections for accelerated UDP traffic generation.
  • Support automated calling through Bluetooth connection between Android and Apple mobile phones, including ability to receive the call on SIP VOIP endpoint and do POLQA quality scoring.
  • DFS: Chirp / Sweep modulation support added FCC5 and Japan W53. FCC5 support for trials high, center, low. FCC5 test mode FCC5B to support single burst of a trial. As short as .5 us pulse widths supported. FCC6 support added yet takes longer then 333 ms to complete. ETSI support added with up to 3 pulse repeat frequencies for ETSI5, ETSI6
  • Support for OFDM modulated noise using CT712 SDR.
  • Improve stability and features of LANforge Interop solution on Windows, MacOS, Android.
  • Initial support for wifi-7 radios, commercially available later this year.
