Many wireless products require wireless performance testing in the anechoic chamber during development and production process. As Wi-Fi specifications continue to evolve and applications diversify, product development cycles are accelerated and testing complexity is also increasing. However, traditional general-purpose anechoic chambers can lack the equipment necessary for critical performance tests, the ability to control for environmental variables, or automated test software. Without these capabilities, testing will be inefficient.

For key wireless performance indicators, Allion has developed and designed the AWE solution. Compared with traditional anechoic chambers, AWE uses small shielding boxes and attenuators to simulate the distance and environmental variables to meet the variables required for various simulated performance tests. It is easy to reproduce consistent test results, which is conducive to debugging and analyzing problems. In addition, it is easy to control the path switching between boxes through the automation software. It shortens the environment set-up time and allows you to perform tests with less effort. AWE has options available based on your demands, including DUT as Station (e.g. Laptop, Mobile), Mesh AP Roaming Test and Wi-Fi 7 test can be enabled with swappable Wi-Fi 7 modules.

Developed and designed by laboratory professionals, guaranteed test quality

As a test lab accredited by major wireless communication associations and with rich experience in Wi-Fi performance testing, Allion understands the difficulties that test engineers encounter when operating the machine and the small details that should be paid attention to in wireless testing. Therefore, compared with all kinds of wireless performance testing machines in the market, the AWE is more convenient to use and close to the needs.

PC Host and Device Integration

PC host and equipment are molded in one piece, no need to set up additional space for placement.

Circular Antenna Design for greater flexibility in placing DUTs

We have developed specially designed circular antennas to solve the common DUT placement dead spot problem; which not only makes the space available in the AUPT box larger, but it also reduces measurement errors caused by APUT placement.

The APUT box equipped with a camera, easy to monitor the condition of the case in real time

The APUT Box is equipped with a camera, which can confirm the test results from different angles on the platform, so that the performance weak angle of the product can be immediately grasped. In addition, it can also monitor whether there is any stranding condition during the test process, so that the test can be stopped immediately.

System pathloss are carefully calculated and validated to ensure consistency of measured test results

In order to overcome the complexity of RF path switching and the difficulty of setting up multi-antenna hardware, Allion has designed the Switch Box to minimize the difficulty of path switching between boxes, and the antenna path is automatically switched by the software program according to the conditions required by different test items. In addition, all the lines between the boxes have passed the loss verification, and the software will automatically compensate for the attenuation of different test items to ensure the consistency of the test results.

32 Wi-Fi 6E STATION perfectly integrated in a controlled-environment box

The 32 Wi-Fi 6E STATIONs are perfect in terms of heat dissipation, and the each single unit is easy to hold and maintain, and the actual STATION test can get the most realistic APUT performance results. In addition, the rear maintenance door is specially designed to enhance the convenience of maintenance.
