SmallNetBuilder's Wireless Testbed - Revision 10

The Wi-Fi landscape has shifted significantly since SNB's Wi-Fi test process was last changed only a year ago. Distributed Wi-Fi (DW) / mesh systems have come on strong, challenging the single point routers that have formed the bedrock of the consumer Wi-Fi market to date. And MU-MIMO has moved down-market into less expensive products that lack connectorized antennas, making our direct-connect test method less practical.

The past year has also shown that having multiple test setups increased test time and was more prone to errors. The return to walking a laptop around to test DW products also increased test time. So some streamlining was in order.

We once again worked with our test partner, Spirent, to design the testbed for the Revision 10 process. The new testbed got moved up all the way to Revision 10 to line up with the name of the process it is used with. It can handle both single point routers and DW products of up to three modules. The top box is unchanged; it's still the OCTOBOX Box-38 anechoic RF test chamber equipped with turntable and four OCTOBOX high-gain antennas. Below that, however, everything is new.
