Wi-Fi FWA Testing
Maximize FWA device capabilities and accelerate time to market with optimal quality
Overview
Verifying FWA device performance against specifications early in the development phase accelerates time to market and enhances end user experience. The device must meet the stringent performance criteria outlined by the manufacturer, network operator, and standards bodies like the 3GPP.
Amantya offers comprehensive FWA testing that spans the entire device design and development workflow. Our FWA testing tool is supported by an advanced Test Automation Framework that acts as a Common Test Manager to run automated tests for various use cases, whether on the bench or in production. The tool has signalling capabilities and conducts RF and functional testing for 5G and WLAN, encompassing throughput assessment. It also verifies the RF performance of hardware prototypes and final products during manufacturing.
