CT525-792-3ac-3n
LANforge WiFIRE 802.11a/b/g/n Six Radio Traffic Generator Supporting 792 Virtual STA Interfaces
The CT525-792-3ac-3n wireless traffic generator is an excellent platform for testing Access Points and other WiFi networks.
Each CT525-792-3ac-3n system includes three WiFi-4 and three WiFi-5 radios, supporting 600 /n (200 per WiFi-4 radio) and 192 /ac (64 per WiFi-5 radio) virtual stations. Systems may be clustered together for increased client number and capabilities, and also support packet capture and emulated Access Points.
The CT525-792-3ac-3n is a 2U rackmount system. It has 18 antennas. It will fit into a standard rackmount cabinet.
Performance exceeds 900Mbps per 802.11AC radio:
