Case Study: a European cable operator launches next-generation STB with Cartesian Wi-Fi performance testing

European Cable Operator validates 2nd generation STB performance with Cartesian’s Wi‑Fi tests and avoids regression

A European cable operator was preparing to launch its second-generation set-top box and needed Cartesian to test its performance to ensure no regression from the first-generation product. The challenge was to verify the Wi-Fi performance of the new concurrent dual band, 802.11ac STB against the older single band, 802.11n model.

Cartesian implemented its full Wi-Fi Performance Test Service, including comparative empirical performance tests between the two generations of products. The results provided the operator with detailed performance data, giving them the confidence to launch the new product with the assurance that customers would not experience a decline in Wi-Fi performance.
