Joint EMITE and Anritsu solution supporting MIMO for OTA measurements on IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7)

Vienna, Austria – 19 February 2025 – EMITE and Anritsu Corporation announce the enhanced functionality to the Over-the-Air (OTA) measurement solution, allowing measuring to compliance with the latest Wireless LAN standard IEEE 802.11be for 2×2 MIMO.

The IEEE 802.11be standard is set to succeed IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6/6E), and it aims to support high-speed communications that significantly surpass the capabilities of its predecessor. This new standard will play a crucial role in enabling cutting-edge applications and services, such as ultra-high-resolution video streaming beyond 4K and advanced AR/VR experiences.

The enhanced OTA measurement solution integrates Anritsu’s Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A with EMITE’s range of Anechoic and Reverberation Chambers. This integration allows developers to accurately measure the Total Radiated Power (TRP) and Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS) performance of IEEE 802.11be devices in a controlled, repeatable environment.

With their integrated communications protocols and optimized performance, EMITE chambers and Anritsu’s MT8862A deliver reliable characterization of Wi-Fi 7 devices available in today’s market.

“We are excited to introduce the integration of EMITE chambers with Anritsu’s MT8862A, a collaboration that significantly enhances the efficiency and accuracy of Wi-Fi 7 testing. By combining EMITE’s state-of-the-art OTA chambers with Anritsu’s cutting-edge measurement technology, we ensure precise, repeatable, and comprehensive validation of next-generation wireless devices. This milestone reaffirms our commitment to technological leadership and delivering industry-leading testing solutions to our clients,” said Miguel Á. García-Fernández, Ph.D., Head of R&D at EMITE Ing.

Martin Varga, Engineering & Technology Wireless Team Leader said, “Anritsu, a pioneer in cutting-edge technologies like Wi-Fi 7, is consistently striving to enhance industry standards. Our collaboration with EMITE to support Wi-Fi 7 MIMO measurements for OTA testing is a testament to our efforts to make testing more accurate, efficient, and reliable. We are further committed to continue in innovative and collaborative approach to improve customer satisfaction”.
