CT523c-16w7i-10g-cu
LANforge WiFIRE WiFi-7 Traffic Generator
The CT523c-16w7i-10g-cu is a mid-range platform for testing Access Points and other WiFi networks.
Each CT523c-16w7i-10g-cu includes sixteen Intel WiFi-7 radios which together support up to 16 virtual stations (1 per 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.
