Willtek Communications announced the 1491 WiFi Connectivity Test Package that satisfies requirements for Wireless LAN device testing. Service centers will use this new product for easy Go/NoGo testing of WiFi-enabled devices, including smartphones and even routers. The new test solution from Willtek is immediately available.

A vast range of WiFi-enabled products is on the market now, ranging from ink-jet printers and mobile phones to DSL modems and routers. The growing number of returned products causes a testability issue in service centers. Willtek now solves the problem with an easy-to-use test package that tells faulty from intact WiFi devices. A test protocol provides adequate documentation of the results.

The associated test software guides the user through a simple connectivity test. Along with a Pass/Fail verdict, it provides additional technical information such as the MAC address and several transmit and receive parameters.

Matthias Schuster, Product Manager at Willtek, said, “The WiFi Connectivity Test Package can be combined with other Willtek products for WiFi-only tests or for tests also including the mobile radio capabilities or Bluetooth. We showed different possible solutions to service center managers, and they all were enthusiastic about it.”
