LitePoint Debuts Industry’s First Test System for Wi-Fi 6 in the 6 GHz Frequency Band
LitePoint, a leading provider of wireless test solutions, announced today the release of the LitePoint IQxel-MW™ 7G, the first fully integrated tester for Wi-Fi 6 in the 6 GHz frequency band meeting the needs of product development and high volume manufacturing.
