Mesh Network Test Solutions:

The NEXUS-M is a bi-directional 32 port mesh attenuator matrix where any port can connect to any or all remaining ports. With wideband frequency range spanning 400 MHz to 6 GHz, the matrix can be used for automating UHF, LTE, Bluetooth, WiFi, CAT-M, NB-IoT, and GPS component and software application tests. Each connection has an independently controlled variable attenuator, allowing power levels to be controlled between nodes. With millisecond switching speeds, software and firmware regression tests can be performed over many network configurations in a much shorter time compared to manual configuration of a patch panel. Easily configure string and mesh constellation networks for beam hopping latency measurements and network resiliency when adding or dropping nodes in software defined networks. The utilization of NEXUS-M RF mesh matrices will help reduce time to market of new hardware and software, and improve firmware compliance tests.
