802.11n test tool addresses early stages of product development

Portland, Ore. — VeriWave, Inc. has expanded its wireless LAN (WLAN) performance testing and analysis portfolio by delivering what it claims is the first 802.11n debugging, troubleshooting and unit test tool to address the early development stages of 802.11 -compliant devices. The WaveDynamix test tool offers developers visibility into how new 802.11 devices will perform in live installations, early in the development cycle, and enables them to reduce the time to test for functional, integration, and field failure test cases.

Designed for developers of 802.11 chipsets, drivers, management software, devices, and Access Points, the WaveDynamix provides the ability to test the functionality, performance, and exception handling of the wireless hardware before the software is integrated, and delivers step-by-step integration testing that facilitates the controlled progression and in-place troubleshooting of clients as they progress through the association and data transmission process. It also determines failure causality through real-time control and results of all clients and traffic in the test bed, and provides concurrent generation and analysis of good traffic and attack traffic to validate protection mechanisms.

Availability: WaveDynamix is available now and is supported by all of VeriWave's traffic generation and analysis interfaces.
