Azimuth ADEPT-n Scalable System Platform 
The ADEPT-n MIMO Test Platform is a state-of-the-art, stackable test platform that offers unique flexibility for automated testing of MIMO and SISO-enabled 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless systems in a static channel environment. The ADEPT-n incorporates Azimuth’s controlled RF architecture to provide a framework for reliable and repeatable performance as well as interoperability testing of real clients and access points. In addition, the ADEPT-n platform enables functional and protocol analysis testing using advanced built-in 802.11a/b/g/Draft-n and Ethernet 802.3 10/100/1000 traffic capture engines.
Leveraging powerful new software tools, the ADEPT-n MIMO test platform enables unprecedented engineering test efficiency while providing significantly improved test coverage over alternative and do-it-yourself solutions. The ADEPT-n is the successor to Azimuth’s award winning W-Series platform and is designed to enable customers to improve Wi-Fi product quality and speed time-to-market.
The ADEPT-n MIMO Test Platform enables users to:
- Test and debug performance algorithms
- Analyze traffic protocol across communication states
- Construct manual or automated corner case tests for design verification
- Test and debug interoperability issues against MIMO and/or SISO products
- Run standard or custom automated scripts as regression tests in QA
- Streamline QA test processes for Wi-Fi products
- Benchmark performance of draft 802.11n-based products
- Leverage standardized platform to define or execute industry-wide test suites
Using Azimuth's DIRECTOR™ II Test Executive software, tests run on the ADEPT-n can be fully managed and automated reducing time to market. DIRECTOR II functionality provides a simple interface to build, develop, script and run custom as well as standard benchmark tests. In addition, results of tests run on the ADEPT-n can be easily analyzed and shared using Azimuth's STUDIO™ Test Data Management software.
The ADEPT-n MIMO test platform is unique in its ability to simulate a static channel for repeatable point to multi-point testing. The ADEPT-n capabilities are synergistic with Azimuth’s ACE 400WB/Wi-Fi MIMO Channel Emulator which provides dynamic channel emulation for thorough point-to-point performance analysis. The ADEPT-n and ACE 400WB/Wi-Fi combine to provide customers with the most comprehensive MIMO-capable, automated Wi-Fi test solutions in the industry.
