“Validate Wi-Fi 6/7 performance and user experience with powerful traffic generation and controlled RF environments.”

What is Candela Technologies’ Wi-Fi Testing Suite?

Candela Technologies provides a comprehensive suite of Wi-Fi test and validation solutions designed for enterprises, service providers, and equipment vendors.

The product line is centered around:

• Wi-Fi Client Emulators – scalable traffic generators that simulate hundreds of Wi-Fi clients per radio, reproducing real-world usage conditions,
• RF Enclosures – controlled, shielded environments to isolate tests and eliminate external interference,
• Accessories (attenuators, combiners, RF hardware) – enabling complete, flexible, and repeatable Wi-Fi test setups.

Together, these solutions allow organizations to validate performance, reliability, and interoperability of Wi-Fi infrastructures under realistic and repeatable conditions.

Key Features

Wi-Fi Client Emulators

• Simulate up to hundreds of Wi-Fi clients per radio,
• Generate controllable traffic loads (voice, video, data, IoT),
• Test advanced standards including Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, and Wi-Fi 7,
• Benchmark access points, controllers, and devices under load,
• Measure KPIs such as throughput, latency, jitter, and packet loss.

RF Enclosures

• Shielded chambers for interference-free Wi-Fi testing,
• Controlled RF environments to replicate specific conditions,
• Scalable from small device tests to multi-AP scenarios.

Accessories & Hardware

• RF attenuators to simulate distance and signal loss,
• Combiners and cabling for flexible topologies,
• Additional modules to build fully automated testbeds.

Benefits for the Client

• Realistic validation: replicate real-world Wi-Fi conditions in a controlled lab environment,
• Future-ready testing: validate compliance with next-generation standards (Wi-Fi 6/6E/7),
• Optimize performance: identify bottlenecks before deployment,
• Reliable results: isolate tests from uncontrolled RF noise,
• Flexible test setups: from single-device validation to large-scale multi-user emulation.

Why Candela is Different ?

• Scalable emulation: unique ability to simulate hundreds of concurrent clients,
• Controlled RF: shielded environments for consistent, repeatable results,
• Comprehensive ecosystem: from traffic generation to enclosures and accessories,
• Trusted by vendors & enterprises: widely adopted for Wi-Fi equipment benchmarking and QA.

Typical Use Cases

• Benchmarking new Wi-Fi 6/7 access points and controllers,
• Validating enterprise and campus Wi-Fi deployments,
• Stress-testing IoT devices under dense Wi-Fi conditions,
• Ensuring performance of real-time apps (voice, video, gaming) over wireless networks.
