• Batch authorization workflow makes it easy to identify known vs. unknown devices, enabling “who’s on my network” auditing

Native 6 GHz Support and Wi-Fi 7 Visibility

Wi-Fi 6/6E has transformed WLAN validation and troubleshooting, requiring updated approaches. Innovations aimed at enhancing traffic management and utilizing the 6 GHz band now enable higher throughput and improved performance in high-capacity environments. As a result, new testing and validation technologies are necessary for ensuring optimal network functionality.

• Validate Wi-Fi network performance and utilization using a native 802.11ax radio
