Platforms
Azimuth offers three types of test platforms on which users can run a comprehensive library of standardized tests. This flexible, programmable hardware enables users to evaluate wireless device performance and interaction under varying mobility and traffic conditions.
- Channel Emulators – accurately emulates multipath environments to test wireless devices based on Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology
- Scalable System Platforms – provides a 360-degree view of a wireless network and a controlled environment that measures client/infrastructure reactions to analyze the effects of mobility
- Certification Devices – automates the specialized conformance and functional tests required for Wi-Fi certification and functions as a capture engine when testing application-specific devices (ASDs)
Software
Azimuth's fully integrated software architecture is designed to efficiently manage all aspects of wireless testing from test configuration to analysis of results.
- Azimuth DIRECTOR™ II is a flexible software management tool that runs standard scripts, enables automation of custom test plans and manages all the devices in the testbed.
- Azimuth STUDIO™ database management software is an integrated database and reporting tool that enables the collection, correlation and analysis of critical test data from multiple sources.
