Azimuth Includes Popular UNH-IOL Conformance Tests in its W-Series Test Platform
ACTON, MA- Nov 30, 2004 - Azimuth Systems, Inc., innovators in scalable, automated wireless network test systems, announced today an agreement with the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) to supply the university’s industry-accepted conformance test suite in the Azimuth W-Series test platform. Azimuth’s industry leading Wi-Fi test platform provides a highly reliable platform to validate the MAC (Media Access Control) layer conformance for chipset vendors, equipment manufacturers, PC manufacturers and labs doing in depth Wi-Fi testing.
“Azimuth has a broad set of test suites that run on a very automated and repeatable test platform,” said Gerard Goubert, manager for Wireless, Bridging and Voice Consortiums at UNH-IOL. “We are delighted to add our conformance test suite to Azimuth’s line of standard tests.”
Azimuth’s UNH-IOL conformance suite will include a client suite and an access point suite for IEEE 802.11 a, b and g, as well as the IEEE 802.11i security suite and the IEEE 802.11e Quality of Service suite. “UNH-IOL’s conformance tests are well known in the industry, so it is natural to include these in the Azimuth test suites,” said Ray Cronin, Azimuth’s CEO. “This is another step forward for us. We are happy to deliver this increased functionality to our 30 plus customers worldwide and to the Wi-Fi industry at large.”
The Azimuth W-Series is the industry’s first standardized test platform for system level testing of IEEE 802.11 wireless access points, clients and other devices. Designed from the ground up as an off-the-shelf, wireless LAN test platform, W-Series systems provide the ability to configure an entire WLAN network in a bench top chassis designed for complete Radio Frequency (RF) isolation and control. The flexibility and programmability of the W-Series allows for the thorough evaluation of wireless LAN equipment under varying mobility conditions and traffic patterns, as well as precise analysis of the results. The system offers an ideal environment to perform software design validation and to test advanced wireless functionality including the latest IEEE standards.
