OCTOBOX Automated Wireless Testbeds

Compact, stackable testbeds for automated validation of Wi-Fi 7 and 5G networks and devices.

OVERVIEW

What is OCTOBOX


The OCTOBOX testbed is a customizable set of isolated chambers and instruments for testing over-the-air (OTA) Wi-Fi 7 and legacy or 5G network equipment and devices by simulating real world environments such as interference, traffic, and mesh handover, in a stable, automated, repeatable testing environment. The system supports Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 and TR-398 performance standards. The testbed is configured with multiple chambers to mimic conditions found in a home, office, and other environments and reduces wireless testing from weeks to hours.

Wireless Testing Made Easy


As wireless complexity surges and new, intensive use cases emerge, ensuring quality has never been more important or more difficult. OCTOBOX testbeds are ready to automate critical performance tests right out of the box, featuring open APIs for rapid integration with other lab testing and automation systems.
