Across AI wearables, Wi-Fi 8 and early 6G work, a common narrative emerges: 2026 is not the year everything changes, but the year we prepare for everything that will.
What is unequal modulation (UEQM) in Wi-Fi 8? With UEQM, stronger streams can use higher-order modulation, while weaker streams can fall back to more robust modulation.
Unlike prior Wi-Fi generations where peak throughput dominated design roadmaps, the emerging Wi-Fi 8 standard is best defined by a focus on ultra-high reliability.
Bluetooth and UWB are often discussed in isolation rather than as parts of a coordinated system. That framing no longer reflects how real systems are being designed or deployed.
Wireless technology is rapidly transforming the healthcare industry, enabling a new generation of portable medical devices. LitePoint’s Khushboo Kalyani examines key questions to consider before designing your next wireless medical device.
Wi-Fi 8 is not about chasing data rates, its goal is to ensure wireless connections are predictable, resilient and deliver a consistently positive user experience even in the most challenging environments.
Does "Louder" Mean "Faster"? Not Always. - At WLPC Phoenix 2026, 802.11 Networks Corp used the LitePoint IQxel-MX tester to prove a critical point: cranking up TX power often hurts performance.
Back from the show floor, LitePoint’s Khushboo Kalyani shares her key observations from Mobile World Congress 2026—and what they mean for the future of wireless design and test.
At MWC 2026, LitePoint showcased its IQFR2-RU, the industry’s first fully integrated radio unit (RU) test platform for FR2 frequency ranges in 5G millimeter-wave networks.
At MWC 2026, LitePoint showcased its FR3 frequency test solution designed to support early-stage development of 6G wireless technologies.
