Anritsu and Bluetest Support MIMO OTA Measurements on IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) Devices

11/07/2025

Anritsu and Bluetest have combined their recent product upgrades to create an Over-the-Air (OTA) measurement solution in a MIMO environment for verification of RF performance in the tri-frequency bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz) of the latest WLAN Wi-Fi 7 standard (IEEE 802.11be).

The solution combines the advanced capabilities of the Anritsu Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A with the Bluetest pioneering OTA Reverberation Test System. The collaboration enables measurements of transmit power, or Total Radiated Power (TRP), and receiver sensitivity, commonly referred to as Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS), to be made in a 2x2 MIMO environment on devices supporting IEEE 802.11be.

The 2x2 MIMO RF OTA test solution creates an efficient evaluation test environment to verify high-end smartphones, AR/VR devices, and cloud gaming. Higher data transmission speeds and lower latency through AI and other technologies can be achieved by performing measurements in a highly repeatable environment that emulates real-world operation to ensure end-user satisfaction.

Bluetest Product Manager Klas Arvidsson says, “For over a decade, Bluetest has collaborated with Anritsu to deliver top-tier Wi-Fi OTA testing solutions in line with industry needs. Efficient and straightforward MIMO measurements have always been a part of the Bluetest DNA. With the latest Anritsu Wi-Fi test solution and Bluetest’s Reverberation Test System, we together offer an indispensable and comprehensive tool for Wi-Fi radio R&D.”

Keita Masuhara, Product Manager, IoT Test Solutions Div., Anritsu Corporation, adds, “We are excited to collaborate with Bluetest to provide customers with a significant enhancement to efficient performance testing. As the number of IEEE 802.11be devices increases, there is a need for high-performance in tri-frequency band operation with wideband in a 2x2 MIMO environment. We believe that this collaboration will greatly contribute to the development of this market.”
