Single-system protocol analyzer for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 6E
The Frontline X500 wireless protocol analyzer is offered as a one-box solution providing time-correlated captures of Bluetooth Basic Rate (BR), Extended Data Rate (EDR), Low Energy (LE), Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) and 802.15.4-based technologies such as Zigbee and Thread. It is designed to address the proliferation of multiple wireless communication standards from Internet-of-things (IoT), automotive, smart cities and buildings, and consumer electronics applications.
The roll-out of technologies like mesh networks, location-based services, new audio codecs, as well as the addition of new frequency bands, allows for new and improved applications and services, but, says the company, also adds complexity to the design and test of devices used in these wireless networks. To debug and validate the integration of multiple wireless technologies, design and test engineers require flexible protocol test tools capable of testing multiple wireless technologies simultaneously to ensure connectivity, performance, and interoperability with other systems.
The Frontline X500 wideband and multi-radio design, coupled with the company’s Wireless Protocol Suite software, is designed to deliver reliable capture, decryption and decoding in complex multi-technology test environments, with market-leading support for the latest Wi-Fi technologies: the Frontline X500 is designed to capture and display full wireless protocol frames of Wi-Fi 5, (802.11ac, up to four client Multiple input Multiple Output) and Wi-Fi 6/6E (802.11ax, up to two client Multiple input Multiple Output) in a time-correlated view.
Such co-existence analysis helps to reveal potential issues, errors, interference, or conflicts in the wireless trace, as well as to identify device performance enhancement opportunities. Additional flexibility comes from its ability to analyze the latest audio codecs that run over Bluetooth LE, as well as its 24-channels of logic analysis, capability to capture synchronously with other of the company’s protocol analyzers, and software APIs for test automation.
The Frontline X500 Wireless Protocol Analyzer is available now.
