CT523c-2ac2-db-10g-cu
LANforge WiFi-6 4x4 two radio WiFi Traffic Generator
The CT523c-2ac2-db-10g-cu is a mid-range platform for testing Access Points and other WiFi networks.
Each CT523c-2ac2-db-10g-cu includes one ath10k-wave2 /a/n/AC 5GHz radio and one ath10k b/g/n/AC 2.4GHz radio. Systems may be clustered together for increased client number and capabilities, and also support packet capture and emulated Access Points.
Each virtual station operates a unique virtual client with a unique configurable MAC address, separate IP address & port space, and a unique routing table. Stations can be configured to connect to a particular Access Point with configurable SSID, BSSID, security (Personal and Enterprise/802.1X), and more.
Each radio supports configurable transmit power and channel/frequency.
Performance exceeds 1200Mbps when using the 4x4 802.11AC wave-2 radio:
