Rise of Non-cellular IoT Devices and Diversifying Wireless
Standards
Increase in non-cellular IoT devices
The number of Short-range IoT devices is
expected to increase in future and will
exceed the number of mobile phones. It is
assumed that IoT devices will be used for
IoT that will expand in the future.

OTA testing and IEEE 802.11ax spread rapidly
11ax (Wi-Fi 6) is growing rapidly from 2019, it will be the main standard on WLAN specification behalf
on 11ac. Also The demand of OTA test is expected to be increasing for the quality assurance with a
focus on Smartphone market.

Expanding WLAN applications
Increasing device complexity
WLAN applications are expanding, and usage
environments and quality requirements are changing.
On this background OTA test with network mode is
paid a lot of attention
Devices are using more wireless technologies and
antennas year-by-year, increasing device complexity.
Therefore, shipping products need evaluation more
than ever.

Wide Connectivity Support
Connections are supported in the
IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax*12x2MIMO AP
and STA modes. Additionally,
supporting securities, WEP, WPAPersonal and WPA2-Personal, makes
measuring various devices connect in
the Network Mode.
Built-in IP Data Ports
Ethernet ports for IP data are built-in and
IP continuity tests, such as ping between
the external PC client and DUT can be
performed under the same fixedparameter conditions as at measurement.
Tx measurements are also supported
during IP data communication*2.
Intuitive GUI
Setup and measurement use a browser
GUI with access to Web servers from the
PC controller using a Web browser.
Control software installation and firmware
matching are unnecessary, and there is no
dependence on the PC controller OS.
Quality Assurance of Diverse and Complex Devices
*1: 11ax supports SISO and HESU(Single user) and HETB(Multi user for STA).
*2: 11as doesn’t support IP data communication.

Advantages of RF Measurement in Network Mode
The MT8862A Network Mode supports configuration of an RF measurement
environment without test firmware, chipset control, and hardware modification.
No Test Firmware
Firmware used by commercial products
can be tested and RF measurements can
be made without needing test firmware.
RF control faults which can’t be found
with test firmware can be analyzed.
No Hardware Modification
Since no interface is required for chipset
control, RF tests can be run without
modifying devices. This is ideal for RF
measurements of devices without
interfaces due to needs for
miniaturization, enhanced durability,
and cost control.
No Chipset Control
Chipset control required by test
firmware is unnecessary and
measurement is performed at the
required data rate using a unique data
rate control algorithm, helping unify the
measurement environment for different
parts used by chipsets.
