Wi-Fi Module RF Testing in Bengaluru
Outsourced Wi-Fi module RF verification for module makers, ODMs and device teamsWe run batch RF verification of Wi-Fi modules and devices on a LitePoint IQxel-M, cabled and shielded, and record every unit against your limits. You get a per-unit and per-lot test record.
Important: This is an in-house RF verification and test record service for design checks, production, validation, returned-unit analysis and post-repair testing. It is not NABL-accredited testing, and it is not WPC, BIS, FCC, CE or any other regulatory certification. Our records do not replace an accredited laboratory's report. For type approval or certification, please use an accredited or notified laboratory.
What we measure on a Wi-Fi module
- Transmit power, per channel and data rate
- EVM (signal quality)
- Spectral mask
- Frequency error
- Receiver sensitivity and packet error rate, where your firmware gives a receive test mode
These are physical-layer, non-signalling measurements: quick and repeatable for lots. We make no throughput or interoperability claims.
Bands and standards in range
Per the manufacturer datasheet and depending on installed options: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Not Wi-Fi 6, 6E or 7, and not the 6 GHz band. We confirm standards and channels before a test plan is agreed.
Batch testing and lot records
We test every unit individually and log it, then summarise the lot. The same written plan, conditions and limits apply to every lot, so lots can be compared.
What you supply: the devices or boards, test firmware or a vendor test tool that puts the radio into transmit and receive test modes, a golden sample, RF connector or fixture access, and your test plan with limits. Without a test mode we cannot drive the radio.
How it works
Step 1
We sign your NDA if you need one.
Step 2
You send a golden unit, samples and the test firmware or vendor tool.
Step 3
We agree the test plan and limits in writing.
Step 4
We test a pilot batch and share the records.
Step 5
We run the full lots under the agreed plan.
Step 6
You receive the per-unit and per-lot records.
Board rework and retest
For module boards that fail, we can do board-level fault finding and SMD rework, then retest and record the result. Rework scope is confirmed after we inspect a sample.
What you receive
A per-unit and per-lot test record (PDF with a CSV data file): unit ID, set conditions, measured values, your limits, pass or fail, instrument model, software version, date and operator name. We report what we measure.
Frequently asked questions
What is wireless connectivity RF testing?
RF testing of a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth device measures what its radio transmits and how well it receives, for example output power, signal quality (EVM), spectral mask, frequency error and receiver sensitivity. We connect each device to the tester by cable in a shielded setup, run your test mode, and record every measured value against your limits.
Which Wi-Fi and Bluetooth standards can you test?
Per the datasheet, the IQxel-M covers Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and Bluetooth including Low Energy, depending on installed options. The datasheet does not list Wi-Fi 6, 6E or 7, or the 6 GHz band, so we do not offer them. We confirm standards and channels before agreeing a test plan.
What do I need to supply for testing?
Please supply the devices or boards, a way to put each into transmit and receive test modes through firmware or a vendor test tool, a golden sample, an RF connector or fixture, and your test plan with limits. Without a test mode we cannot drive the radio. We can help define the fixture and the script on request.
Can you test and rework Wi-Fi or Bluetooth module boards?
Yes. For wireless module boards and PCBAs we can do RF verification, board-level fault finding and SMD rework, then retest and record the result. Rework scope depends on the board and is confirmed after we inspect a sample. We repair and retest boards, we do not redesign RF circuits.
