The Octoscope octoBox wireless testbed is a small stackable anechoic testbed used for testing wireless devices and systems. It isolates the devices under test from the outside interference and creates a stable environment for achieving repeatable throughput measurements. Engineers use the testbed to measure throughput of the new 802.11ac or 4G MIMO devices.
The testbed can also be configured for video over Wi-Fi testing, mesh testing (self-forming, self-healing functions of a mesh), high-speed roaming and other wireless tests. It can be used for testing Wi-Fi, 2G/3G/4G, Bluetooth GPS and other devices. It offers suitable conditions for multistream MIMO throughput and supports the operating frequencies from 700 MHz to 6 GHz.
In a typical throughput testbed being used for benchmarking by SmallNetBuilder.com, two chambers house wireless devices in the link under test. The DUT (device under test) is placed into the top chamber and coupled to the master device over the air through a 4 x 4 MIMO test antenna array.
