Signal quality, modulation rate or just as simple as which device you were using, are important parameters of each Wireless test. From version 2.11.0  the Wireless Endpoint reports these new values

• RSSI, signal quality.
• SSID, network name.
• BSSID, base station identifier.
• Channel id, both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz.
• Maximum transmit rate of the interface.

These values can be logged during a test run or polled while the device is

Excentis is happy to announce the new version of the XRA-31!

The system now supports the use of a downstream SC-QAM channel as reference.
This allows you to capture upstream traffic (both A-TDMA and OFDMA) in absence of an OFDM channel, extending the debugging capabilities of the XRA-31 to an even wider range of DOCSIS 3.0/3.1

Version 2.10.4 of the Wireless Endpoint is ready.

This new WEP version is strongly recommended for FrameBlasting tests, since it fixes an issue where wrong throughput values were reported.

You can download it from the app stores or from the setup pages.

Version 2.10.6 is available for download. We fixed some nasty bugs and added support for new hardware.

More information can be found in the  changelog.

Excentis is happy to announce the new version of the XRA-31!

This release brings you small improvements and bug fixes, which include:

• Better performance for low SNR RF signals.
• Better thermal management.
• Reduced power consumption of unused SC-QAM channel receivers.
• Small speed-up when configuring SC-QAM channels.
• Better exception handling related to XRA-31 device driver and firmware control.

Version 2.10.2 of the Wireless Endpoints is an important bugfix. We received reports on low performance on the Samsung Galaxy S8. Research showed bad performance, most noticeable in combination with Android 8. One of the system calls did not behave as expected and is behaving on the other platforms. This method was introduced in version 1.1.24.

This forced us to rewrite the core logic for traffic reception and transmission, which required several iterations of development and testing.
