Wifi6 or 802.11ax is available for large scale commercial and is driven by benefits like 4X higher capacity, increased security and reduced latency. For the first time, multiple Wi-Fi clients can transmit or receive concurrently using orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) with allocated resource units. The challenge increases dramatically as the number of simultaneous users scale up in a diverse client mix at varying distances.

Traditional test tools that are based on commercial chipsets or using real-client devices cannot address these challenges. A next-generation test tool capable of simulating multi-user OFDMA at scale is required to fully validate the functionality and performance gain promised by 802.11ax technology.
