Advantech & Rohde & Schwarz Partner to Accelerate Industrial-Grade Wi-Fi 7 Module Deployment
Advantech has announced a strategic partnership with Rohde & Schwarz to speed up the development and deployment of next-generation industrial Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) modules. This collaboration integrates advanced design validation, pre-compliance testing, and over-the-air (OTA) interoperability checks—ensuring that each module meets rigorous industrial standards before reaching full-scale production.
The joint effort centers on Advantech’s AIW-173 Wi-Fi 7 module series, engineered for high-performance and mission-critical applications. These include:
- Medical imaging systems
- Autonomous mobile robots (AMR)
- Rugged industrial and field devices
- ProAV (Professional Audio/Video) environments
By incorporating RF measurements and OTA testing early in the development cycle, Advantech and Rohde & Schwarz aim to simplify global regulatory approvals and enhance reliability across diverse operating environments. The result is a portfolio of high-throughput, ultra-low-latency Wi-Fi 7 solutions designed for real-world industrial demands.
This partnership underscores the growing need for robust wireless connectivity as industries transition toward smarter, faster, and more interconnected systems powered by Wi-Fi 7.
