About the Award-Winning LitePoint IQxel-160
The IQxel-160 is just one of LitePoint’s test solutions, built from the ground up to test wireless devices in both R&D and manufacturing environments. Introduced in 2013, the LitePoint IQxel-160 was the first one-box solution for testing all options specified in the 802.11ac standard for high-bandwidth Wi-Fi devices. Its innovative architecture ensures extremely high measurement accuracy suited for R&D, as well as rugged design and test efficiency making it suitable for deployment in high-volume manufacturing environments. The majority of today’s manufacturers use LitePoint test equipment as an end-to-end solution for testing wireless devices. The IQxel-160 extends this level of reliability and confidence of measurement to newer 802.11ac enabled devices, which with the latest VHT160 capabilities will push wireless throughput well beyond the one gigabit per second barrier. The IQxel-160 is unique in its ability to test 802.11ac products that support 160MHz of bandwidth, both in contiguous (160MHz) and non-contiguous (80+80MHz) modes.
