Quintech NEXUS-M 8/16/32-Port 6 GHz RF Mesh Attenuator Matrix

Quintech NEXUS-M 8/16/32-Port 6 GHz RF Mesh Attenuator Matrix 

The Quintech NEXUS-M is a bidirectional RF mesh attenuator matrix in which any port can connect to any or all remaining ports. Available with 8, 16 or 32 ports, it supports automated wireless and network testing across the continuous 400 MHz–6 GHz frequency range.

Every connection includes an independently controlled programmable attenuator, allowing RF levels and path loss to be adjusted between individual network nodes. Solid-state switching provides repeatable millisecond reconfiguration for regression testing across multiple network topologies without manually changing cables or patch panels.

The NEXUS-M can create string, partial-mesh and full-mesh network configurations for UHF, LTE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, CAT-M, NB-IoT and GPS testing. Applications include over-the-air path-loss simulation, beam-hopping latency measurement, software-defined network testing and network-resiliency evaluation when adding or removing nodes.

Local operation is provided through a front-panel LCD and rotary joystick. Ethernet, TCP/IP, an API and the Q-LAAMP embedded web interface support remote control, test automation and laboratory resource management.
