Audio By Carbonatix

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 16, 2025--

LitePoint, a leading provider of wireless test solutions, today announced comprehensive test support for Wi-Fi 8 (the IEEE 802.11bn standard) on the IQxel-MX test system.

For years, Wi-Fi’s primary driver was raw speed, essential for streaming and downloading. However, applications today demand more: unwavering reliability and precise determinism. These requirements are foundational for AR/VR, ultra-HD streaming, cloud gaming, and industrial systems dependent on real-time data processing for enhanced performance. Wi-Fi 8, also known as ultra-high reliability (UHR), is specifically designed to meet these escalating demands, building incrementally upon the advancements of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be).

With superior RF performance, 6GHz band support, wide instrument bandwidth and 4K QAM, the IQxel-MX solidifies its position as a long-standing dependable test solution addressing the need for both Wi-Fi 8 and Wi-Fi 7 standards from system level characterization to manufacturing.

“For past Wi-Fi generations, the industry's focus centered on maximizing raw speed through increasingly dense modulation, expanded data pipes, broader spectrum, and advanced MIMO schemes. With Wi-Fi 8, the standard is decisively shifting towards robust and predictable connectivity achieved through features that optimize data transmission and fundamentally improve link resilience,” said Khushboo Kalyani, Product Marketing Manager at LitePoint. “The IQxel-MX's pioneering support for Wi-Fi 8 (UHR) underscores our commitment to staying at the forefront of wireless innovation. We are enabling our customers to confidently develop and validate the next generation of devices that will deliver truly dependable and deterministic wireless performance."

Technical Details:

The IQxel-MX is uniquely positioned to address the complexities of Wi-Fi 8 (UHR) testing. Building on its leadership in Wi-Fi 7 validation, the IQxel-MX now supports Wi-Fi 8's advanced features, including but not limited to enhanced modulation and coding schemes (MCS, distributed resource units (dRU), unequal modulation and long-length LDPC Codes).

The IQxel-MX platform offers comprehensive, full lifecycle testing capabilities, from early-stage R&D characterization to high-volume manufacturing. Its industry-leading performance, coupled with its ability to support both Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 8, ensures a future-proof investment for customers navigating the evolving wireless landscape.

For faster time to market, turnkey IQfact+ TM software solutions offer customized testing of leading chipsets and enable thorough design verification and rapid volume manufacturing with minimal engineering effort.
