Teledyne LeCroy is enabling the development of the latest wireless devices and connected applications with the launch of the Frontline X500e wireless protocol analyzer with Wi-Fi 7. For any application involving Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 802.15.4-based technologies (including Matter, Thread, and Zigbee), or wired interfaces such as HCI-UART, USB, SPI, and Audio I2S, the X500e delivers precise insights for network professionals.

Building upon the success of its predecessor, the Frontline X500, the X500e Wireless Protocol Analyzer is a comprehensive one-box solution that seamlessly captures and correlates data from a wide range of communication technologies. Now featuring Wi-Fi 7 capture and analysis, the Frontline X500e supports simultaneous capture and decode of Bluetooth Basic Rate (BR), Enhanced Data Rate (EDR), Low Energy (LE), Matter, Thread, Zigbee and wired technologies in a time-correlated coexistence
view.

Coupled with Teledyne LeCroy’s Wireless Protocol Suite software, the X500e delivers unparalleled capture performance for complex multitechnology test environments, including market-leading support for the latest Wi-Fi technologies.

In the relentless pursuit of faster wireless connections, lower latency, and mindful of power consumption, the tech industry is turning to Wi-Fi 7 technology, based on the IEEE 802.11be standard for intensive and immersive applications, such as consumer wearables, smart home, 8K video stream, online gaming, and AR/VR, as well as all industrial and medical connected devices. With its ability to handle 320MHz channel width and 4096 QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation), the Frontline X500e empowers design and test engineers, and IT specialists to optimize performance and troubleshoot issues, in the rapidly evolving landscape of wireless communication. 

Among its updated specifications, the Frontline X500e allows design and test engineers with the means to ensure seamless interoperability of products that integrate Wi-Fi 7 technology, and measure its impact on overall system performance, latency, and throughput. It also reveals how Wi-Fi 7 implementations coexists with other wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth, fostering harmonious communication.
 

“Intel is excited to deliver Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE200 for the new Teledyne X500e protocol analyzer. The updates in Wi-Fi 7 including multi-gig EHT speeds, expanded channel sizes, and Multi-Link Operation offer significant advancements over previous Wi-Fi generations that demand updated debug tools and measurement equipment. Teledyne's X500e, utilizing the Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE200, will excel in its ability to rapidly drive quality into the development, integration, and productization of industry leading Wi-Fi solutions thus achieving the vision of Wi-Fi 7," says Eric McLaughlin, Vice President of Client Computing Group and General Manager of Wireless Solutions Group at Intel.

A solution designed for developers, network engineers, or system integrators, the Frontline X500e with Teledyne LeCroy's Wireless Protocol Suite software proves indispensable for tasks related to developing, testing, deploying, and maintaining products that leverage diverse wireless technologies, including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands.

The Frontline X500e Wireless Protocol Analyzer is available to order. Existing Frontline X500 customers interested in the enhanced X500e with Wi-Fi 7, will be able to upgrade their X500 systems.
