Wi-Fi 7 and Multi-Link Operation (MLO) are introducing new possibilities for wireless performance – and new challenges for testing and validation. This webinar explores how TR-398 Issue 4 addresses Wi-Fi performance testing and how MLO may shape future testing methodologies.

Join speakers Lincoln Lavoie and Nathan Miner from UNH-IOL, along with Neil Dsouza from Alethea Communications Technologies, as they explore MLO configurations, lab-based testing, client and testbed considerations, key performance measurements, and the future evolution of carrier-grade Wi-Fi testing.

Whether you are a service provider, OEM, silicon vendor, or test engineer, gain practical insights into the next generation of Wi-Fi performance validation.
