SAN JOSE, CA, Aug 20, 2025 – LitePoint announced a collaboration with Advantech to develop industrial-grade Wi-Fi 7 modules. Using LitePoint’s IQxel-MX test platform, industrial Wi-Fi 7 modules undergo validation and automated testing to confirm consistent connectivity performance. This accelerates deployment across edge AI, robotics, manufacturing, and AIoT systems.
As AIoT and digital industries expand, reliable and high-speed wireless connectivity has become essential infrastructure. The Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) standard provides higher data rates, lower latency and improved spectrum efficiency, making it a practical alternative to wired networks. Through its work with LitePoint, Advantech is adding automated RF testing and validation to ensure Wi-Fi 7 modules maintain consistent performance under industrial conditions, addressing requirements for real-time and 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 a test technology seminar in Sep-2025, co-showcasing collaboration results with Advantech and Qualcomm. The event will feature Wi-Fi 7 demonstrations, presentations, and insights into industrial validation trends. Industry partners, system integrators, and module developers are invited to explore the future of industrial wireless technology.
Register to experience Wi-Fi 7’s potential in industrial applications.
Advantech Wi-Fi 7 Module
Designed for edge AI, smart manufacturing, and robotics environments, Advantech’s Wi-Fi 7 module delivers 5.8 Gbps speeds and 1ms latency, rivaling 5G NR performance. With industrial-grade durability (-40°C to 85°C), MLO stability technology, and multi-form-factor compatibility across operating systems, it reduces time-to-market and has secured global certifications (FCC, CE). Expansion to additional regions is planned for late 2025.
