Rohde & Schwarz collaborates with Broadcom to enable testing and validation of next-gen Wi-Fi 8 chipsets The CMP180 radio communication tester from Rohde & Schwarz has been validated by Broadcom as a comprehensive, future-proof testing solution for next-generation Wi-Fi 8 devices. This collaboration offers manufacturers accelerated time-to-market with pre-built test routines and early access to key resources, while ensuring ultra-high reliability for demanding applications like XR and AI. The advanced capabilities and broad bandwidth support of the CMP180 will navigate the technical complexities of Wi-Fi 8 throughout the entire device lifecycle - from development to production.
The CMP180 has been successfully validated for upcoming Broadcom Wi-Fi 8 chipsets.
Rohde & Schwarz, a global leader in test and measurement solutions, has further deepened its collaboration with Broadcom Inc. to enable testing and validation of Wi-Fi 8 chipsets using the CMP180 radio communication tester. This alliance accelerates the path to market for OEMs and ODMs integrating Broadcom's upcoming Wi-Fi 8 chipsets in their products, ensuring conformity, performance and reliability.
Wi-Fi 8, based on the IEEE 802.11bn specification, promises a significant leap forward in wireless connectivity. It is anticipated to bring higher throughput, lower latency, improved efficiency in congested spectrum environments and enhanced performance for XR (extended reality), AI-assisted applications, real-time cloud gaming and ultra-high-definition content streaming. To realize these benefits, test equipment must deliver very wide channel bandwidths, ultra-high-order modulation, multi-link operations, high spectral efficiency and reliable OTA performance. Rohde & Schwarz has designed the CMP180 radio communication tester with these capabilities in mind.
With their collaboration, the Rohde & Schwarz and Broadcom ensure that the industry has the tools to manufacture products that deliver on the promise of Wi-Fi 8:
Validation of CMP180 for Wi-Fi 8: Rohde & Schwarz and Broadcom have jointly carried out test campaigns that demonstrate that the CMP180 meets the demanding technical requirements of Wi-Fi 8 chipsets.
Support Across Device Lifecycle: The CMP180 will be available as an end-to-end test solution - from early development (R&D), through design validation, to production and quality assurance - for devices that adopt Wi-Fi 8 technology.
Future-Proof Hardware & Bandwidth: The CMP180, with its coverage up to 8 GHz, bandwidths up to 500 MHz, dual independent channels (2 x VSA / 2 x VSG), 4 x 4 MiMo support for Wi-Fi networking products, enhanced RF ports, is positioned to handle the new challenges Wi-Fi 8 will present.
Accelerating Time to Market: With automated test routines created in close cooperation between Rohde & Schwarz and Broadcom, device manufacturers will gain early access to test vectors, calibration protocols, and software frameworks.
UHR (Ultra-High Reliability) for Wi-Fi 8: This collaboration will ensure Wi-Fi 8 devices deliver consistently stable and robust connections. The CMP180's advanced testing capabilities will validate performance under challenging conditions, ensuring the ultra-high reliability demanded by applications like XR, Al, cloud gaming, and critical IoT deployments.
Goce Talaganov, Vice President of Mobile Radio Testers at Rohde & Schwarz, said: We are excited to strengthen our partnership with Broadcom to provide a comprehensive testing solution for the next generation of Wi-Fi technology. The CMP180's advanced features and our close collaboration with Broadcom will empower device manufacturers to bring innovative Wi-Fi 8 products to market quickly and confidently.
Gabriel Desjardins, director of marketing for the Wireless Communications and Connectivity Division at Broadcom, said: Our partnership with Rohde & Schwarz is accelerating the future of wireless innovation. Together, we're empowering Broadcom's customers and partners to lead the transition to Wi-Fi 8 and redefine what's possible in connectivity.
