Advancing industrial connectivity together with Wi-Fi 7

As AIoT and digital industries continue to evolve, stable and high-speed wireless connectivity has become a critical infrastructure requirement. The latest Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) standard offers faster data rates, lower latency, and more efficient spectrum utilization, making it a viable alternative to wired connections. By partnering with LitePoint, Advantech introduces high-precision, fully automated RF testing and validation processes to guarantee Wi-Fi 7 module performance under harsh industrial conditions, meeting stringent demands for real-time, high-speed applications.

Adam Smith, Vice President of Marketing at LitePoint, stated, “LitePoint is committed to delivering scalable, fully automated wireless test solutions. We are proud to collaborate with Advantech to ensure their Wi-Fi 7 modules maintain consistent, precise performance from lab to mass production, driving industrial wireless connectivity to new heights.”

Jerry Chiang, Director of Advantech’s Embedded IoT Group, commented, “Reliable wireless communication is indispensable for future-ready smart manufacturing, logistics, and infrastructure. As industries rapidly digitize, Wi-Fi is no longer optional—it’s essential. We are excited to partner with LitePoint to drive wireless innovation and meet the connectivity demands of next-gen industrial applications.”

LitePoint will host an Advanced Test Technology Seminar in September 2025, co-showcasing collaboration results with Advantech and Qualcomm. The event will feature live Wi-Fi 7 demonstrations, technical presentations, and insights into industrial validation trends. Industry partners, system integrators, and module developers are invited to explore the future of industrial wireless technology.
