The Wi-Fi 802.11n Certification Test Suite from Polaris Networks is an automation tool for the standard Wi-Fi Alliance 802.11n test bed. It streamlines the certification test process by implementing Wi-Fi Alliance 802.11n System Interoperability Test Plan Version 2.0.5. Device manufacturers and semiconductor vendors can use this solution to test their products before going for formal certification. This solution enables users to:
Accurately pre-certifies Access Point and client devices in a manner that mirrors the Wi-Fi Alliance test process
Significantly reduce test time and costs by completing pre-certification and certification testing in hours, rather than days or weeks
Maximize test staff efficiency by enabling the automation of all aspects of certification testing
Run pre-certification as a nightly regression test rather than a final QA test
Reliably duplicate test results at multiple locations
The latest release of this test suite (v6.0.0) supports the Tethered Mode of Testing and the additional features of the test plan such as STA STBC Receive Test, AP 3 Spatial Streams Test etc.. This version also includes tests from the earlier WPA2 baseline and WMM certifications.
Benefits
Simple installation and commissioning for fast results
Simplifies configuration and testing
Provides flexibility to configure and test a variety of devices and scenarios Significantly reduces test time and cost to maximize the efficiency of users
Complete pre-certification testing in one efficient run
Simplifies troubleshooting and retesting
Enables users to quickly setup and start testing
Test Selection Window
The Test Selection tab allows the user to pick all or specific tests which will be run in a test run. Each test's details are outlined in the right half of the window.
Test Automation Advantages
Using automation to run the Wi-Fi certification process can reduce the duration of running the test from days to hours. The 11n Test Suite performs all the time consuming tasks of configuring the test bed devices, wireless sniffer and security servers, starts and runs the tests automatically, and analyzes and interprets the results to determine if the test meets the Wi-Fi Alliance pass/fail criteria. This reduces the operator involvement and automates the complex task of learning, interpreting and running the procedure manually. The end result is quicker time to market and higher quality products.
Wi-Fi Certification Results
Results of the certification testing are recorded step-by-step noting test sections, test descriptions and a pass/fail indication.
Setup Wizard Window
This Tester comes with a Setup Wizard which will guide the user step-by-step through integrating their 11n test bed devices into the automation environment. Every step is validated to ensure that the setup is configured properly.
