Introduction
Wi-Fi has become the ubiquitous technology to support the
Internet of Everything revolution. Long there as technology of
choice to support networking in traditional segments such as
home and enterprises, Wi-Fi is now increasingly supporting the
innovations across varied segments including automotive,
consumer electronics, industrial, utilities, IoT and many more.
Though Wi-Fi is the key enabler to support networking, it presents
with several unique segment-specific deployment challenges.
Supporting Wi-Fi in varied environments - home, office, airport,
coffee shop and malls - further increases the complexity. Aricent
offers comprehensive WLAN/Wi-Fi testing services to ensure that
the devices work seamlessly in any kind of deployment. Our WLAN
testing offering portfolio - including system validation and test
automation framework, along with a state-of-the-art Wi-Fi test lab -
helps our clients improve quality, reduce cost and accelerate time
to market
Aricent offers expertise in testing devices that support various
802.11 standards – 802.11 a/b/g/n/p/ac, 802.11e, 802.11i, 802.11r,
802.11h and 802.11d. Our services can be leveraged to test access
points (standalone and controller-based) and devices (mobile,
laptops, tablets and custom reference boards).
Our system validation services include:
