One System for all Key Connectivity Standards
- Wi-Fi, 802.11a/ac/ah/b/g/j/n/p
- Bluetooth, Classic (1.x, 2.x, 3.0), Low Energy (4.0, 4.1, 4.2), and Bluetooth 5
- Supports all combinations of 802.11ac channel bandwidths: 80, 80+80 and 160 MHz
- Supports differential analog I and Q signals I/O for baseband test applications
Flexible MIMO Test Solution
- True MIMO (multiple input multiple output) technology testing supported with independent, non-correlated signals using single or multiple, synchronized IQxel units
- Flexible architecture allows MIMO needs to be scaled from SISO requirements (1 unit) to multiple units as MIMO order expands
Optimized for Manufacturing
- The IQxel provides fully calibrated RF connections for 2 devices simplifying manufacturing test and ensuring the best possible measurement accuracy
- Compact 2U high chassis takes a minimum of space in equipment racks
- Easy to deploy – fully integrated processing capabilities minimize data transfer times and requires no external PC controllers and software library installations to manage
Designed for Manufacturing
IQxel™ is the first One Box Tester (OBT) for 802.11ac devices. The rugged design makes it simple to deploy in high volume device manufacturing environments. The IQxel delivers the quickest and easiest factory test capabilities owing to a compact 2U high chassis requiring no external PC for processing, using standard gigabit Ethernet communication, and built-in web-based graphical user interface and SCPI compliant control commands.
Confidence
Most chipsets, R&D labs, manufacturers of connectivity devices use LitePoint® test equipment – LitePoint equipment has tested over 3 Billion devices to date. The IQxel extends this level of reliability and confidence of measure to newer 802.11ac enabled devices. IQxel is supported by local LitePoint personnel in key global manufacturing centers providing real time customer support and instrument service should it be required. LitePoint’s library of over 300 IQfact™ chipset test solutions ensures customers can obtain packaged software solutions for both calibration and verification of leading edge connectivity chipset solutions from the top vendors.
Seamless Transition from LitePoint 802.11n Testers to 802.11ac Testing
IQxel allows re-use of existing test scripts and software developed on the industry standard LitePoint WLAN/Bluetooth testers including IQview®, IQflex®, and IQ201X™. IQxel ensures a fast and easy transition to 802.11ac testing, while still enabling previous 802.11 a/b/g/n test programs to be run on the IQxel without having to re-write software. Users can painlessly migrate to testing newer 802.11ac devices while still leveraging their previously written test programs or LitePoint’s extensive library of IQfact chipset calibration and verification software.
IQxel provides users the option of developing test software in either a Windows® C/C++ API environment or using a Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) interface. The SCPI interface provides an operating system independent interface that easily interfaces with scripting languages like Python. Graphical programming is also supported for languages like LabVIEW® with available software libraries from LitePoint.
