The STACK-BENCHTOP is compact enough to fit on your desk or lab bench. It performs a comprehensive list of automated tests including throughput vs. range, maximum 4×4 throughput and mesh and airlink capacity testing.
octoBox wireless personal testbeds
octoBox wireless personal testbeds can reduce the time it takes to run your wireless tests from days to hours. Ranging in size from a bench top model to configurations on wheels,
the octoBox personal testbeds enable engineers to perform fast, comprehensive and repeatable testing in their offices rather than inside large isolation chambers or in test houses.

Tests supported by the octoBox Wireless personal testbed
Emulating real-life wireless environments, the testbeds perform a thorough list of automated tests and support the latest technologies, such as 160 MHz 802.11ac, 802.11ax, MU-MIMO and Beam forming.
STACK-MESH is the most comprehensive of the standard octoBox configurations. It tests throughput vs. range; maximum 4×4 MIMO over-the-air throughput; and the ability of a mesh network to optimize airlink capacity.
Mesh and band steering tests demonstrate how well an access point and range extenders maintain airlink efficiency to support demanding applications such as video and audio over Wi-Fi.
The STACK-16 testbed is primarily a throughput testbed optimized to achieve the highest possible MIMO-OTA throughput. To achieve maximum throughput and over-the-air stability for high order MIMO systems capable of up to 8 spatial streams, the STACK-16 testbed with 16 MIMO paths provides a rich MIMO environment.
The STACK-SNB was defined collaboratively by octoScope and SmallNetBuilder.com. It tests MIMO-OTA throughput vs. range and vs. orientation of the device under test, roaming, band steering and the ability of a mesh network to optimize airlink capacity.
The Pal® is a partner device for wireless testing. It provides a broad range of important test functions, including throughput testing of access points and client devices, expert analysis, packet capture, traffic, and interference generation.
The octoBox multi path emulator (MPE) module emulates indoor multi path in the RF domain keeping the signal path wide-band and bi-directional. The MPE also emulates multi path reflections to accurately model the house or office wireless channel environments according to the standards based models.
The octoBox quadAtten module contains 4 programmable RF attenuators. Each attenuator is completely isolated from outside interference and from its neighboring attenuators. You can power and control the attenuators via a single copper line: either gigabit Ethernet with Power over Ethernet (PoE) or USB.
The octoBox® iGen™ is an RF-isolated Wi-Fi traffic and interference generator. iGen generates 802.11a/b/g/n/ac or waveform interference, including radar waveforms for DFS (dynamic frequency selection) testing.
