The platform offers 400 MHz instantaneous bandwidth and carrier frequencies up to 23.6 GHz, supporting emerging 6G waveform requirements and exceeding Wi-Fi 7/8 bandwidth needs. A single 6U chassis handles up to 36 RF ports, 256 digital links, and 1.6 GHz total bandwidth, with FR3 support up to 1 GHz for future 6G networks, multiuser MIMO, and TDD/FDD operation. For Wi-Fi 7/8, it natively supports 320-MHz channels, 4096-QAM modulation, and 2x2 to 8x8 configurations. It also supports satellite, drone, mesh, and ISAC network testing, and integrates with Viavi's FR3 MIMO converter and raytracing tools for digital RF propagation modeling. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
