NI Test Solutions for 802.11ac WLAN and Bluetooth Low-Energy Technology Deliver Flexibility and Performance Through User-Programmable FPGAs
News Highlights
- The new NI bundle for 802.11ac WLAN and Bluetooth low-energy technology test combines the NI WLAN Measurement Suite with the FPGA-based NI PXIe-5644R vector signal transceiver (VST) and NI LabVIEW for a high-performance, software-designed test system.
- The NI test solutions for 802.11ac WLAN and Bluetooth provide industry-leading error vector magnitude (EVM) performance and up to 5X gains in production test throughput compared to traditional box instrumentation.
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today introduced test solutions for 802.11ac WLAN and Bluetooth low-energy technology that combine NI graphical system design software and modular, FPGA-based PXI instrumentation to provide high-performance test capabilities that are completely user-programmable. These test solutions along with other cellular, navigation and wireless connectivity solutions from NI, help engineers thoroughly test their devices on a single high-performance platform.
