Wi-Fi 6E Testing with LANforge

Wi-Fi 6E is an extension of the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard. It allows an unlicensed 6 GHz frequency band to be used. Wi-Fi 6E extends all the Wi-Fi 6 features and capabilities into the 6GHz band to allow greater efficiency, higher throughput, and increased security. With Wi-Fi 6E, a total of 1200MHz spectrum is available. This allows more capacity, wider channels, and less interference. Wi-Fi 6E devices operating on the 6GHz band have access to:

(Wi-Fi 6E may be abbreviated as 6E below.)

Below image represents the 6E testcases that we covered using our LANforge.

Lead Times

Most LANforge systems can generally be shipped within 2-3 weeks of customer PO. RF chambers and attenuators may need 6-8 weeks of lead time. Direct-from-the-factory shipping is available for the RF chambers to decrease shipping costs and lead times.

TaaS/Onsite Support

Customers with only occasional test needs can use our Test as a Service option. Candela engineers can do the testing for you in our fully equipped test lab and provide a detailed test report with recommendations.
